Is Samsung Galaxy Fold waterproof foldable device?
For any smartphone to be waterproof, it must possess certain IP ratings. These IP ratings can tell us whether the new smartphone is waterproof, splashproof or both. Many modern smartphone manufacturers are now including IP67 or IP68 ratings with their devices.

An IP rating is an international standard that is used to define levels of sealing effectiveness of modern smartphones. These IP ratings are presented in the form of IP followed by two numbers.
IP68 rating is the best that a smartphone can hold. However, it is important to note that this IP testing is done against freshwater. So you might end with slightly different results against saltwater or other liquids such as soft drinks.
Samsung Galaxy Fold is an engineering masterpiece on its own. However checking the official specs list of the device, we can’t see any IP67 or IP68 waterproof ratings on the device. So it turns out that the device is indeed not waterproof or dustproof. So we will do a Samsung Galaxy Fold waterproof test to see what happens.
