Rumor has it that Samsung is seeking to certify the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and future Z Flip 5 against dust and immersion. This requires an improvement in the rigidity of the foldable screen.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 phones could be unveiled in the summer of 2023. Therefore, we will get more information about them. Today, a Twitter member revealed to us that these two models will stand out from the competition in terms of durability. Thus, according to chunvn8888, the company’s two foldable smartphones will be the first foldable devices with a teardrop-shaped hinge to be IP67 certified. So they will be completely dustproof and protected from immersion.
Despite all the progress made in recent years, Samsung’s foldable smartphones still suffer from a reliability problem: their screens are fragile and an annoying dent appears very quickly on their surface. A problem for which no brand has yet found a magic cure. Foldable devices are among the most affordable and cost-effective smartphones for Samsung. So we understand why it is necessary to find a solution to anchor it.

Samsung will focus on sustainability
Obviously the information should be taken with a grain of salt, chunvn8888 himself stating that Samsung could drop the idea in the meantime, if it turns out to be too complicated to implement. In his tweet, the leaker also revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 could be 10 grams lighter than its predecessor, bringing its weight to 253 grams. Most of the information about the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Z Fold 5 indicates that they won’t perform as well as you think. Where they will only benefit from a slice Snapdragon 8 Gen 2.
