Samsung's Commitment to Dust Resistance in Foldable Phones

Samsung's MX chief TM Roh confirmed that the company is working on bringing dust resistance to its Galaxy Z smartphone lineup, acknowledging consumer demand for it. While earlier foldable phones lacked water resistance, Samsung's latest models, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5, feature a new 'Flex Hinge' that prevents dust and debris from entering the hinge area. Samsung may become the first company to introduce foldable phones with both dust and water resistance.

"Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5: Enhanced Hinge Design Unveiled in Live Images"

Real-life images of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5 reveal a nearly gapless hinge, a significant improvement over previous models. The hinge now closes almost completely flat when the phone is folded up, thanks to Samsung's "waterdrop" hinge design. However, there is still a small gap present, which may prevent the device from achieving a dust resistance rating. The only noticeable change on the back of the Fold 5 compared to the Fold 4 is the repositioned LED flash. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 is set to launch later this month.

The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5 from Samsung is rumored to lack an IP58 dust and water resistance rating, disappointing users who were expecting this feature. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 may also lack the IP58 rating. While the phones may have improved dust resistance, it is possible that Samsung isn't ready to advertise it as it falls short of the IP68 rating found on its other phones. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 will have a redesigned cover screen, while the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will only feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor upgrade.
