Recent rumors suggested that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 could include an IP58 rating. In other words, be both water and dust resistant, which would be a first for the Galaxy Z Fold series. Well, based on the latest info, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 won’t offer dust resistance after all.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 won’t offer dust resistance after all
This information comes from a well-known tipster, Ice Universe. He flat-out said that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 won’t offer an IP58 certification for dust resistance. He did not clarify what rating will be included, though.
If we had to guess, we’d say that Samsung will stick with the IPX8 rating that is included on the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 will likely meet the same faith as the Galaxy Z Fold 5, but nothing is certain just yet.
That’s not the only piece of info Ice Universe shared, though. The tipster also talked about the phone’s crease. Recently, he said that the crease will be around 15% less visible, and now he basically reconfirmed that.
Its crease will be “indistinguishable” from the one on the Galaxy Z Fold 4
The tipster said that he asked his source, for the fourth time, about the crease on the Galaxy Z Fold 5. He said that the crease looks “indistinguishable from the Fold 4” with absolute certainty. So it’s easily possible it’s only 15% less visible.
That basically means that the crease on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 will, yet again, be a lot more noticeable than creases on some other foldable smartphones. Companies like OPPO and Huawei managed to get the crease under control.
The Galaxy Z Fold 5 will launch later this month alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Tab S9 series, and the Galaxy Watch 6 series. Samsung could also announce a new version of its truly wireless earbuds. We still don’t know the exact date, as Samsung didn’t announce it yet.
