This year's Galaxy Unpacked event will take place in South Korea

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 are expected to debut during the Galaxy Unpacked event that is confirmed to take place during the last week of July. The South Korean brand is yet to confirm any specifications of the foldable smartphones, however, there have been a lot of rumours. Now, a new leak suggests that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 will offer improved IP rating. This would be an upgrade over the water resistance capabilities of their predecessors. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 have IPX8 rated build. However, the current models lack dust resistance.

Tipster No name (@chunvn8888) on Twitter claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 will have an IP58-rated build for dust and water resistance. If this rumour turns out to be true, this would be an upgrade from IPX8 water resistance available on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. The current Galaxy Z series foldable phones don't offer dust resistance.

Google's recently launched Pixel Fold smartphone has IPX8 rated build. Meanwhile, the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra and Motorola Razr 40 also have water-resistant IP52 build.
