Description: This is Samsung’s third year making smartphones that fold, and like always, they’re making some big claims, like 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.
