LG and Sony would easily do it.

    I don’t think they can get dust proof, considering there’s a moving part, aka the hinge. The fact that Samsung managed a sort of water resistance is already quite amazing imo.

    And for those comparing the IP rating of cheap Chinese, IP67/68 is way different than IP53/54. IP53 is basically nothing as any regular phone would probably pass IP53 rating tests.

          We need more time to make it work, we also need more time to really make it work and then we need more time to make the foldables work properly and give them a genuine upgrade.

          The last decent product upgrade happened with ZF3 and then there are just tid bits.

          Give a substantial reason to shift to ZF5 from ZF3.

                      I'd say that if water can't get inside then most dusts can't either. Water can get even on the thiniest of spots. The fact that these foldables are water reststant at all is a big achivement.

                          given dust proof expect the price will start at $2000, when crease is no longer visible expect price will start at $2500. When not scratched by nails and you will get the ultimate durable foldable starting for $3000.

                              I'm sure you can do it. Good job as always.
