Yes, durability is an important factor when deciding to buy a foldable smartphone. It's not just a matter of looking at the dimensions and screen size, consumers also need to know its durability when exposed to external objects. Such as being splashed with water or falling onto a hard surface—scenarios that often occur accidentally.
Having started its journey since 2019, Samsung has been able to create the Galaxy Z Fold5 with good overall durability. Not only is it stronger, this premium Samsung flagship smartphone can also appear in a thinner and lighter design. At the same time, it is more environmentally friendly, for a more positive impact on the future. Here are some of the advantages of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 regarding durability.
New Flex Hinge with Zero Gap
From generation to generation, Samsung continues to try to improve the durability of its latest foldable devices. On the Galaxy Z Fold5, the Flex Hinge folding mechanism has been updated for better durability, for worry-free use for users so they can focus more on being productive in their daily lives. What makes it different?
In terms of durability, the screen folding mechanism is now made with a waterdrop design when the inner screen is folded. This can minimize the potential for creases or creases to appear in the future, indirectly increasing the durability of the screen. Integrating hinge module with special dual rail components.
Users can still flexibly unfold the Galaxy Z Fold5 at various angles as in previous generations, to take advantage of features such as FlexCam. The new Flex Hinge design on this smartphone also allows both sides of the device to stick together without any gap when closed, aka Zero Gap. Provides further protection for the components inside.
IPX8 Waterproof Certification
When releasing the previous two generations of foldables, Samsung successfully presented the world's first foldable screen smartphone that carries IPX8 water resistance certification. This certification ensures that the device will remain safe when used and will not accidentally come into contact with water, including when it rains.
The same standards are still carried over to the Galaxy Z Fold5, so you can safely clean the body of the device using clean water. Technically, this certification allows the device to survive under clean water up to a depth of 15 meters for a maximum of 30 minutes—although it is not recommended to test it directly.
At least, the presence of IPX8 certification makes Galaxy Z Fold5 users feel safer when unintentional things happen. This makes Samsung's foldable smartphone superior to a number of other competitors who can only provide the IPX4 standard.
Strong and Eco-Friendly
Complementing the screen folding mechanism which is designed to be stronger, the exterior durability of the Galaxy Z Fold5 device is also no less important. Samsung uses Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection on the outside, designed to be stronger and more environmentally friendly than the previous generation.
Quoted from the official Corning website, Gorilla Glass Victus 2 has better resistance to a number of types of hard surfaces such as concrete, and has successfully passed drop tests from a height of up to 1 meter. Not only that, this protection also utilizes recycled content of up to 22%, aka more environmentally friendly.
Between the two glass surfaces of the outer body of the Galaxy Z Fold5, there is a frame made of Armor Aluminum material. Compared to conventional aluminum, this material is also designed to be stronger and more resistant to impacts and scratches.
Overall, the component materials used also consist of more types of recycled materials. Complete with compact box packaging, made from completely recycled materials, and can be fully recycled.
Thinner and Lighter
Despite coming with better overall durability, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 can come in thinner and lighter dimensions than the previous generation. Zero Gap design allows the device to be made 2mm thinner when closed. So it's easier to fit into trouser pockets and other storage spaces.
The weight of the Galaxy Z Fold5 has also dropped by 10 grams, to 253 grams, which means it is not much different from the weight of other conventional large-screen smartphones on the market. These two factors make it more convenient for users to take it anywhere, especially when they have to stay productive while traveling.
In relation to this, Samsung also presents a new accessory, namely a case that integrates the S Pen stylus in a much thinner dimension than the previous generation. Equipped with integrated storage space on the back of the body, and still has complete features equivalent to other S Pens.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 is available in a variety of attractive colors, namely Icy Blue, Phantom Black, and Cream. For online purchases on the official Samsung Indonesia website, there are two exclusive color options, namely Gray and Blue with a matte black frame. Available starting at Rp 24,999 million.
