IP66 / IP68 / IP69 / IP69KThe official launch explicitly claims IP66, IP68, IP69 and IP69K. The UK eco-design table separately lists IP68; it does not withdraw the other certifications. These are manufacturer laboratory claims, not permanent waterproofing or a liquid-damage warranty; actual resistance can diminish.
Not verifiedOnePlus's UK specification and feature pages give no IP dust or water rating for the Nord 5, so its rating is unknown rather than confirmed as unrated.
