The latest leak from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 shows a setback from the cellphone. Reportedly, this latest generation foldable device will not experience an increase in terms of resilience.
A leaker account on platform X with the name PandaguyPro states that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 only gets an IP48 rating. This means that the phone is resistant to solid objects of the size of more than 1mm such as insects or cables.
The device is also water resistant, but at the depth and duration determined by the manufacturer. The most prominent issue of IP48 is the lack of device resistance to smaller objects or particles such as dust.
This decision caused disappointment for Samsung's foldable phone fans. The reason is, the Korean company did not increase its cellphone resistance rating even though many have complained about this problem since the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6.

It is not known for certain why Samsung did not increase the resilience rating of its newest foldable phone. In fact, rumors circulating earlier this year stated that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 would get dust particle protection.
With the loss of resilience support for dust, Samsung could lag behind Google. According to rumors, the Android developer will launch the first foldable phone that is resistant to dust in August.
This would put Samsung in an unfavorable position. If Google provides complete protection for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 may be equipped with more complete durability support.
