OnePlus' Revolutionary "Rain Water Touch"


In a groundbreaking move to address one of the most persistent challenges faced by smartphone users, OnePlus has unveiled its innovative "Rain Water Touch" technology in China. While smartphones have evolved over the years with cutting-edge displays for optimal content consumption, a significant drawback remains – their inability to function effectively in wet conditions, such as during rainy weather. However, OnePlus has taken a giant leap forward by introducing a new screen technology that enables users to seamlessly interact with their devices even when they are wet.

As the name implies, the "Rain Water Touch" technology is designed to accurately process touch inputs even in wet conditions. This revolutionary feature was showcased in an official video on Weibo, where OnePlus demonstrated its commitment to providing uninterrupted touch interaction despite exposure to water.

Despite being exposed to water, OnePlus showed its dedication to providing continuous touch interaction.

Notably, well-established smartphones like the iPhone 14 Pro were included in OnePlus' video demonstration, revealing their struggle with touch accuracy when confronted with wet conditions. This challenge arises from the common utilization of capacitive technology in contemporary touchscreens, which relies on electrical conduction to detect touch points. Unfortunately, water's conductivity disrupts this process, leading to erratic responses or complete neglect of touch inputs.

OnePlus is set to introduce this groundbreaking technology with the upcoming OnePlus Ace 2 Pro smartphone, as hinted at in the latest teaser. While the global release of this technology remains uncertain, it's highly anticipated that OnePlus will eventually introduce it to key markets like the US and India, solidifying its competitive edge.


Drawing from the expertise of its sister brand Oppo, OnePlus has employed specialized touch algorithms and an exclusive internal chip to overcome the challenges posed by water's electrical conductivity. This advancement is poised to elevate the user experience, ensuring consistent and reliable touchscreen functionality even in adverse weather conditions, such as during the rainy season.

Additionally, OnePlus is rumored to unveil a groundbreaking 150W SUPERVOOC charger, capable of fully charging the device within a mere 17 minutes. The OnePlus Ace 2 Pro is anticipated to offer exceptional value, priced below Rs 40,000. While further details remain shrouded in mystery, enthusiasts can rely on India Today Tech to provide the latest updates as they unfold.
