Another leak claims Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 will be water resistant

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 will be the first foldable phones to feature an Intrusion Protection Rating, according to tipster Max Weinbach. Both phones will apparently have an IPX8 rating, which means they could withstand continuous submersion in water deeper than 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.

While an IPX8 rating certainly looks impressive, it looks like foldables won’t offer any dust resistance. The best Samsung phones, including the Galaxy S21 series, come with an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. This is not entirely surprising, however, as making a foldable phone with an IP68 rating is much more difficult.

The two upcoming phones are expected to have Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 888 chipset under the hood with support for 5G connectivity. While the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is expected to have a 7.55-inch interior display with S Pen support, the Galaxy Z Flip will come with a 6.7-inch main screen identical to that of the Galaxy Z Flip from the last year.

As confirmed by Samsung earlier this week, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 will be announced at a Galaxy Unpacked event on August 11 at 10 a.m.ET. Along with the new foldables, Samsung will also unveil a bunch of other exciting new products, including the Galaxy S21 FE, Galaxy Watch series 4, and Galaxy Buds 2.

If you want to get the Galaxy Z Fold 3 or Z Flip 3, you can sign up for more information before August 11 and get an extra $ 100 credit when you trade in your current phone. Additionally, Samsung allows customers to swap up to two devices to save even more on the new Galaxy foldable devices.
