Samsung Electronics Lu Taiwen: working hard to solve the dustproof problem of foldable mobile phones

CTOnews.com, July 28 (Xinhua)-- according to Phonearena, the dust protection of Samsung Galaxy Z series collapsible phones has attracted a lot of attention. Until June this year, there were still rumors that Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5 would provide IP58-level dustproof and waterproof capabilities. However, with the official release of the two phones, the rumors have been falsified.

▲ Touyuan Samsung Electronics announced on July 26 that the two new phones will have the same IPX8 waterproof capabilities as their predecessors, which means they are about 5 feet deep in fresh water and can last for 30 minutes. However, the two phones have not yet been certified for dustproof.

Samsung is working to solve this problem, hoping to provide a higher level of protection in the next generation of foldable devices so that users can be more comfortable with them. after all, these devices are not cheap and it is not interesting to watch them covered with dust.

Samsung is working to bring dustproof certification to foldable phones, Lu Taiwen, head of Samsung's mobile business, said at a news conference today: "We are well aware of consumer demand for dustproof, and we are working to achieve this goal. However, due to the nature of the foldable design, many moving parts have to be used, so dustproof is difficult."

Mr Lu said Samsung fans would have to "wait a little longer" to get a certain level of dustproof protection, but dustproof certification would eventually come. He gave an example of an early device and reminded people that foldable phones were not waterproof at first, but now they do.
