The IP68 rating indicates that the handset can withstand being submerged up to 1.5 metres deep in fresh water for up to 30 minutes. The IP69 rating means that it can withstand high-pressure water jets.

The upcoming handset is ranked second in the six-hour heavy battery test. The Red Magic 9S Pro and Nubia Z60 Ultra Leading Edition came in the second and third positions respectively.
