OnePlus Ace 2 Pro Is The World’s First Smartphone With A Screen That Can Function Even When It Is In Rain, While iPhone 14 Pro Starts Glitching
11.08.2023 - 01:11 / wccftech.com / Can / Pro
There is no denying that using your phone in the rain is never an easy experience because, in most cases, you are going to miss the touches, or your phone won't really register the touch at all. Yet, we don't have smartphone manufacturers running to the solution, perhaps because no one thinks that these are important. Well, OnePlus thinks otherwise because the company is bringing a Rain Water Touch screen that will, you guessed it, work in the rain.
Talking on Weibo, OnePlus has confirmed that the upcoming OnePlus Ace 2 Pro is going to bring a Rain Water Touch. This feature is going to let you use your phone's touch screen in the rain without grinning into any glitches that might come in the way and ruin your overall experience. This is something that I have not seen in a smartphone before, so I am really interested to see how this actually works. You can check out the video below:
In the video, you can see the OnePlus Ace 2 Pro next to the iPhone 14 Pro and how the latter ends up running into glitches when the rainwater is on the screen. This isn't just a problem with the iPhone but almost all the phones in the market because touch screens usually run into these issues. In most cases, your phone might not even register your touch but instead could register the water droplets on the screen as touch. I know it might sound frustrating, but again, the simplest and more advisable solution is not to use your phone in the rain because it is unsafe.
Honestly, I have not seen any other smartphone manufacturer doing something like this, but OnePlus decided to jump the gun with this feature. For those wondering, the Ace 2 Pro is going to go official in China next week, and the phone could launch in global markets sometime later this year under a different name, but we will have to wait and see how that turns out.
Do you think this is a feature that you would want on your phone? Honestly, I feel like OnePlus is trying to figure out a problem that does not really signify a major chunk of the market. I mean, if it were really a big issue, other, larger OEMs would have to find a workaround to it. I am not even sure if this feature is going to make it to other devices from the company or outside the company portfolio, but we will keep you posted if that happens.
