Are the Flip6 and Fold6 certified for water and dust resistance?

Last Update date : 2024-07-13

Your Samsung Galaxy device is designed to be water-resistant, adhering to international standards for protection. To maintain its water resistance, it's crucial to follow specific guidelines, such as avoiding exposure to certain liquids, preventing sudden water pressure, and ensuring the device is thoroughly dried before use. Keep in mind that the water resistance may diminish over time due to normal wear and tear.

Galaxy Z Fold6

Both Fold6 & Flip6 have IP48 water resistance rating.

Your device is water-resistant and meets the following international standards:

IP48 water resistance rating certification: According to the requirements of the IEC 60529 standard, it was tested in 15–35 °C, 86–106 kPa, 1.5 m of fresh water for 30 minutes without moving.

Please follow the guidelines to maintain the water resistance of your device:

  • Do not expose the device to swimming pool water or sea water.

  • If the device is exposed to unclean water or other liquids, such as soapy water, oil, perfume, sunscreen, hand cleaner, chemical products such as cosmetics, or liquids that include alcohol, clean the device with fresh water that does not flow, wipe it with a soft and clean cloth, and then dry it thoroughly before use to maintain the water resistance.

  • Do not expose the device to water moving with force. A sudden rise in the water pressure may exceed the guaranteed level of water resistance.

  • In places such as a sauna or steam room, the water-resistant performance may be damaged because of sudden changes in temperature.

  • If the device is subjected to an external shock or is damaged, its water resistance may decrease.

If the device is exposed to water, follow the guidelines:

  • Wipe the device with a soft, clean cloth, and then dry it thoroughly.

  • If the microphone or speaker is not completely dry, it may result in the sound not being clear during a call.

  • The screen and other features may not work properly if the device is in water.

  • Do not connect the charger or any accessories until the device is completely dry. The device can be damaged if an accessory or charger is connected when the multipurpose jack is not yet dry.

IP48 Definition:

IP: International Protection Rating or Ingress Protection Rating.

4: The first digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against Solids (The levels are from 0 to 6).

8: The Second digit indicates the level of protection that the enclosure provides against Liquids (The levels are from 0 to 8).

Note: 

  • The water resistance of your Samsung Galaxy device is not permanent and may diminish over time because of normal wear and tear.
