The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6 and Z Fold 6 will debut IP48 certification
The previous generation of foldables formed by the Galaxy Z Flip5 and Z Fold5 offer IPX8 certification in terms of water and dust resistance. This standard indicates that both foldables are waterproof, but have not been tested for dust.
Now, everything points to Samsung’s new foldables going from offering IPX8 to IP48 certification. The number that has been added indicates that they would now have dust resistance. Within the scale offered by this resistance, the number 4 would indicate that both devices would be protected against objects larger than 1 millimeter.
What does this mean? All objects smaller than this size may enter the interior of the device, and the protective barrier against these elements is ineffective. In the case of the second digit that appears in this certification, it would be the highest and would refer to water resistance.
The number 8 indicates that both devices would be capable of withstanding dives greater than one meter deep. Of course, despite the fact that certification is part of the specifications of mobile devices. It is not advisable to test these resistance capabilities due to the danger of damaging the equipment, in addition to the fact that when such expensive terminals are so expensive it is better not to risk too much.
The jump from IPX8 to IP48 is a logical advance, this is Samsung’s sixth generation of foldables and the company has to make it clear that it is ahead of the competition. In addition, it does not have it easy and, in fact, the new motorola razr 50 and 50 ultra will make it difficult for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip6.
Leaving aside what has been known about water and dust resistance, a series of key specifications with which these devices will land have also been leaked. The leaks come from Evan Blass (@evleaks) so he can be considered a reliable source when it comes to leaking device details.
What has been known would indicate that the Galaxy Z Flip6 would maintain the same screen diagonal on both the external and internal screens, being a point that would play against it when compared to the competition. We would be looking at 3.4 inches for the exterior and 6.7 inches for the interior with a resolution of 720 x 748 and Full HD+ respectively.
On the outer panel there is talk of an OLED screen, while the interior will be Dynamic AMOLED 2X with 120 Hz as the refresh rate. Moving on to the Galaxy Z Fold6, the exterior would mount a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with HD+ resolution while the interior Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel would reach 7.6 inches with QXGA resolution. On both displays, the refresh rate would be 120 Hz and the brightness is expected to reach 2,600 nits.
Although the leak has revealed a huge number of secrets about these new foldables, it will not be until the day of Unpacked that the official data will be known from Samsung. The only thing we can do is wait until July 10 to see first-hand everything Samsung has prepared.
