When the screens of our smartphones switched from resistive technology to capacitive technology, some disadvantages of mobile phones of the period were resolved. Currently, improvements in touch panels point in another direction, touch sampling. However, one thing that has been preserved despite the advances of screens is that screens hardly ever work properly. exposed to contact with liquids such as water. Although this is not the only problem they can present.

All you have to do is use the mobile phone in the rain or under the shower tap if it is durable. As with watches (more likely to get into the tub), the panels almost go crazy, making it very difficult to complete the action we want to perform. However the invention of a well-known hero of the industry It is not trivial at all and will surely surprise you.

OnePlus has a wet screen on the front of the iPhone

When water comes into contact with the touch panel of our mobile, the touch input is affected: ghost touches are created, but it also doesn’t respond to our fingers the way it normally does. This may all be over soon because OnePlus’ proposed solution seems to always work, at least according to our tests.

As we read an echo of a post on Android Authority on Weibo, OnePlus’ next smartphone It will have a new function called “Rainwater Touch” (probably doesn’t sound very good in Spanish). This feature will allow this model to operate normally even under strong water sources, as shown in the video below.

In the clip, which lasts less than a minute, we see the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro alongside Apple’s iPhone 14 Pro. Both devices exposed to rain and water spray, by the way, someone tries to use them with a single successful case. The iPhone seems to suffer from watching touches on the screen displaying the usual symptoms. On the other hand, the OnePlus handset works completely normally.

This new feature seems to eliminate one of the most obvious problems with touchscreens today. As the tool points out, by the way, this function also improves touch input when fingers are wetso it will give a little more advantage.

The Chinese manufacturer will launch the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro in its home country next week, although it may change its name when it lands in the West. We look forward to seeing how effective this technology is and learning more about it. We do not ignore that the brand can be. include in some flagshipsbut this generation will not be on the discarded OnePlus 11T and 11T Pro.
