Samsung has a solid reason for not using Xiaomi's Mix Fold 2 waterdrop hinge - SamMobile - Samsung news

Xiaomi unveiled its Mix Fold 2 foldable smartphone only a couple of days after Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 happen to be the world’s first water resistant foldable smartphones.

Samsung prefers all Galaxy devices that cost over $1,000 have water resistant, with tablets being the exception.

It couldn’t go from introducing the Galaxy Z Fold 3 as the world’s first water resistant foldable smartphone in 2021 to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 losing that level of durability just a year later.

There’s no doubt that Galaxy Z Fold models will get thinner in the coming years while still being water resistant.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the first Samsung smartphone to run Android 12L.

Samsung is ensuring that third-party app developers have the necessary tools to create well-optimized apps for the new Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 foldable phones.

While Samsung has already revealed the pricing and availability of the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Galaxy Watch 5, and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro in the Indian market, it hasn’t revealed information about its latest foldable smartphones.

Last week, Samsung announced its new Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 foldable phones at Unpacked 2022

Samsung’s latest foldable smartphones—Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4—were unveiled last week
