03 July 2023
Z Fold5 will most likely retain the IPX8 rating of its predecessor.

justasmile, 03 Jul 2023This year is a boring year for Samsung's Z Fold.Like every year before this one and many years after this one.

    Like anyone would care for useless gimmick called IPXX rating where no company is willing to give an warranty for said water and dust resistance.
    Once yur phone dies due to dust or waternobody will fix it for free.
    So apart paying extra for few rubbers and seals user get nothing worth extra price.
    Any water and dust proof case from alliexpres or wish site does lot more tricks way more cheaper.

      No creaseless screen.
      No S23U cam system.
      Less than 5000mAh when should be 6500 at least.
      No 16:9 inner screen.
      No latest M illuminant material like upcoming iphone 15 pro.
      No cutout-free inner screen when outer is big enough for videochat and selfies.
      No slot for S pen.

      Basically Fold 4 with new SoC, ufs4.0 and ddr5x. Nothing more.

        Anonymous, 03 Jul 2023Given that the Fold 4 is IPX8, I'm pretty sure it'... moreNo. Ingress protect agains dust is 0 to 6.
        IPX8 meand no protection against dust, just water.

          It's not Samsung's fault the leakers put out false information for views and likes.

            Given that the Fold 4 is IPX8, I'm pretty sure it's already IP58 for all intents and purposes. On the other hand, the crease really sucks, and I was hoping it would go away, or at least be greatly improved this generation.

              I am not a bit surprise...... so what exactly have Samsung been doing in the last 4 years with the Fold?
              Besides the Software improvement which is a credit to them but the hardware and design hardly any major improvements, forget about battery life and performance as the Chip is Qualcomm's not Samsung's.
              Such a pity there's hardly any major break-thorough from being an early pioneer to laggards playing catch-up now to the Oneplus Fold and possibly even the G Fold if not for their apparent poor built.
              Every other Manufacturer in the Fold has at least decent wide front screen and cameras except Samsung that refuses to listen to what buyer wants.
              It would be interesting to see how the Fold5 is going to get away with those tiny iterations of the same thing for the last 5years.
              I bet a $1m that the pre-order would sink like Titanic unless they beg people to order by offering huge discounts or Freebies; now that there are some serious upcoming competitors on the market Oppo, OnePlus and maybe even Xiaomi (Mix Fold3); I had to discount G Fold because of poor Quality control from what I read it has Major screen issues being 1st gen.
              Anyways, we will see if it is dead in the water even before its release, with many more leaks.... mediocre cameras, tiny front screens width, same battery size and missing S-pen silo.
              Too little too late Samsung.
              RIP Fold5

                No one will buy it anyway
                If someone wants a Samsung fold that much, they can just get the Fold 4 for a way lower price

                        And this is why websites should stop posting rumours and people should stop believing them.

                                Ice universe is just a party troll. He uses Samsung and online site affiliate links to make money via Samsung phones, and then trying to trash Samsung. The way he exaggerates chinese phone features, you would be trmpted to believe each of those is a super computer with limitless features.
                                He's the real huawei. The cia should probably investigate him instead 🤣🤣🤣

                                  Good old samsung complacency
