For Samsung mobile phones, the concept of innovation has long been deeply embedded in the genes. Whether it is setting off a significant iteration of screen quality in the era of straight plate machines, or becoming a benchmark for smartphone images, Samsung can always lead the industry progress with cutting-edge technology and keen sense of smell. When the development of straight smartphones encountered a bottleneck, Samsung once again took the lead in breaking the game through folding screen mobile phones, making it a new outlet in the market. Nowadays, folding screen mobile phones have gradually become the new darling of the times.
Since the release of the first Fold in 2019, Samsung has launched four generations of folding screen models. Compared with traditional straight mobile phones, this type of product effectively solves the contradiction between large screens and portable bodies, and officially introduces electronic devices that once only appeared in science fiction movies into consumers' real life. Driven by Samsung, the design and function of folding screen mobile phones are becoming more and more mature, and among them, they have brought unique innovations in their products, such as the IPX8-level waterproof performance of Galaxy Z Fold4.
The more complex body structure makes folding screen mobile phones more difficult to achieve waterproof characteristics than straight plate machines. With Samsung's excellent industrial foundation and technology research and development, the Galaxy Z Fold4 solved this problem that plagued the industry in three steps. First of all, in terms of screen, the machine has an independent waterproof design. Samsung's new self-developed material can be tightly surrounded by the screen components, and sealing technology ensures that liquid cannot flow into the screen through the gaps. At the same time, for the flexible PCB part inside the fuselage, Samsung is packaged with rubber and CIPG materials to achieve a waterproof effect. As for the waterproofing of the most difficult hinge part, Samsung has demonstrated its advanced creative talent and strong technical strength. The bendable design inevitably brings the hinge into contact with water during opening and closing, and Samsung chose to let the liquid pass through the hinge. But before that, Samsung has added anti-corrosion solutions and lubricants to the hinge part, so that the precision components are "isolated" from the liquid, so as to achieve waterproof protection, so that the hinge will not rust even in wet conditions.
In terms of details, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is also waterproof to the interface, speakers and microphone, and reduces the body hole as much as possible. In the end, the machine achieved the highest IPX8 waterproof performance in the industry. This means that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is not only resistant to liquid spills in daily life, but can also be used normally even if it is left under clean water at a depth of 1.5 meters for less than 30 minutes.
In addition to the more durable body, at the level of product functions, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is also exploring the different design with the straight plate machine. The vertical interaction mode is one of the more representative technologies. Relying on the advantage of the hinge being able to rotate and stop at multiple angles, users can open the machine to a suitable angle and put it on the plane, freeing their hands for video conference, watching movies and chasing dramas, selfie group photos and other operations. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 has added a new home screen taskbar. Help users quickly switch between different apps by directly clicking the taskbar icon without returning to the desktop, and achieve a multitasking experience comparable to that of the PC side. In addition, with exclusive SPen, users can also find information on the web and quickly take notes while conducting video conferences.
Samsung has created the only IPX8-level waterproof feature in the folding screen field with innovative materials and technologies, which makes the Galaxy Z Fold4 have a wider range of use scenarios and allows users to feel more at ease in daily use. At the same time, in terms of experience, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 continues to dig deep into the potential of large screens, further highlighting the advantages of folding screen products compared with straight plate models. It is foreseeable that under the leadership of Samsung, folding screen mobile phones will usher in a richer application experience and bring users more possibilities.
