Galaxy Z Flip & Fold 3: Small Changes Make a Big Difference

From the creator

This is Samsung’s third year making smartphones that fold and like always, they’re making some big claims: IPX8 water resistance, a more natural-feeling, scratch-resistant protective layer over the flexible glass, and just better durability all-around. In this video, we look at the Galaxy Z Flip and Z Fold 3 in a bit of a folding phone extravaganza. We’re not expecting radical repairability improvements, but we are excited to learn how they pulled off water resistance with so many moving parts.
