UNCOVERED: Samsung galaxy z fold 5 hinge and durability upgrades just got shot down - Caught on Camera

A leak-based render of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5

Some exciting rumored Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 upgrades may in fact not be on their way to the new foldable, says respected leaker Ice Universe.

Firstly, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 won't be IP58 dust/water resistance rated according to IU's sources, going against previous rumors. Hopefully, this would still mean the new Z Fold would be IPX8 rated like the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and previous models, meaning it's as water resistant as other flagship smartphones. But having a guarantee of keeping dust away from the foldable's delicate mechanisms was something we were looking forward to as a big step in foldable phone durability.
