Although Samsung was expected to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 2 as well in its Unpacked 2020 event, the company refrained from providing any pricing or availability details. However, new leaks have revealed a few interesting features that the device may arrive with.
Something Samsung didn't mention about Fold2: it had an anti erosion waterproof coating on the main internal components. Doesn't make it waterproof, but should help it survive a dunk.

According to Max Weinbach on Twitter, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 has an ‘anti-erosion waterproof coating.’ This means that Samsung’s successor to the Galaxy Fold does not feature water proofing rating or IP rating of any kind, but its main internal components can survive an accidental drop in the water. Unfortunately, it is still an unconfirmed report and we will have to wait for Samsung to announce more details regarding the device to know for sure.

The South Korean tech giant has made numerous improvements in the second generation of the foldable series, with a new under-metal cushion and a thicker protective layer. So, it does seem likely that it would try to add some form of protection or water resistance to premium grade flagship handset. We’ll provide more information when additional updates are available, so stay tuned.
