| How Samsung improves the reliability of foldable phones |
Samsung is very interested in foldable phones. His motivation for launching the first Galaxy Fold was to not show off the potential of the new product and then ignore it. This is reflected in the new generation of mobile phones Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3.
Foldable phones have faced a huge problem since its inception. That is, its limited durability and poor reliability. Samsung has done a lot with its new generation of mobile phones to address this problem.
The new phone is surprisingly waterproof. The user can use the foldable mobile phone to dive and use it normally, just like an ordinary mobile phone with waterproof function.
The durability and reliability of foldable phones
Samsung believes that its new phones are strong and durable enough to be used like regular phones. Although the company has already been hit by crises, its first Galaxy Fold and its first device are prone to failure.
Samsung continues to create and solve problems. The Korean company can also effectively deal with the shortcomings of its products. The new generation of foldable devices solves the problem of low endurance in several ways.
The first of these methods, of course, is the water resistance feature, which reflects the Samsung feature. It is not easy to make a foldable phone with waterproof hinges and connectors.
In addition to being water-resistant, the new phone has a stronger and more reliable display, as well as a better hinge and frame.
Waterproof smartphones are not a difficult process. All that the manufacturer needs is to find all the connections through which water can pass, and then cover them with glue or rubber. This is useful for simple connections such as charging ports, SIM card ports, and even audio jacks.
This is more difficult with foldable phones, as this must also be done for hinges and phone entrances, or for general moving parts that are difficult to pack.
Samsung innovations
Foldable mobile phones face a big problem in terms of dust resistance. This is due to the entry and exit of the hinge. That's why Samsung uses a small brush to remove as much dust as possible every time it is folded.
The company has also developed a form of lubrication that enables the equipment to withstand more than 200,000 bends and bends!
In terms of water resistance, this device is ideal as it can dive to a depth of 1.5 meters for up to half an hour. But the standard here is IPX8, which differs from the regular IP68, because the number “6” means dust resistance, which is not the case here.
