According to the news published by Android Authority, Samsung’s head of mobile TM Roh said that the company is working on dustproofing for foldable devices. Normally this feature is quite difficult due to all the moving parts.
With IPX8 certification, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 are liquid resistant, but the phones lack dust resistance. This means that even the tiniest bit of dirt can cause problems for foldable phones.
It’s worth noting that the Motorola Razr and Motorola Razr Plus, launched earlier this year, are dustproof, but with an IP52 rating, their waterproofing isn’t as extensive as Samsung phones.
Although the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 have just been released, we’re already starting to hear rumors about what next year’s models will offer. This includes a new and improved cover screen. There’s also talk of a “major form factor change” with the Galaxy Z Fold 6, although the source didn’t provide further details.
In short, this rumor says that the Galaxy Fold 6 can also be dust resistant. And this feature is the first innovation we’ve heard for the next Samsung foldable.
