Samsung is the market leader when it comes to foldable smartphones, and the South Korean giant is now gearing up to launch the fifth generation of Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip smartphones.
While the launch of the upcoming foldable phones from Samsung is still months away, details about the devices keep surfacing online. In the latest development, it is claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 could come with support for dust resistance.
As per the report from Twitter user @chunvn8888, the next-generation foldable smartphones from Samsung will be IP58 rated, meaning water and dust resistance. Based on the ratings, the water resistance will be up to 1.5 meters deep for up to 30 minutes.
The current generation devices have IPX8 ratings, offering only water resistance. With the addition of dust resistance, the phone would be more durable and less likely to get damaged by dirt, sand, or other particles. This is more important because of the device being prone to damage due to dust, especially with additional mechanical parts like hinges.
Note that the report hasn’t been confirmed yet, so we advise you to take this information with a pinch of salt. However, we expect the addition of this feature in the upcoming foldable smartphones from the brand.
Recently, Motorola launched the Razr and Razr+ smartphones which come with an IP52 rating, offering the same level of dust resistance as IP68 but lacking the level of protection against water.
