While the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 boast an IPX8 rating, providing water resistance, they lack dust resistance. This leaves the 2023 foldables susceptible to dust particles, which can potentially affect device performance.
Samsung aims to address this limitation and has been exploring various solutions to ensure dust resistance in future models. Although dust resistance wasn’t confirmed for the 2024 lineup, Samsung’s engineers are striving to overcome the obstacles to make this enhancement a reality in upcoming iterations.
