Z Fold 3 vs. Z Flip 3 water test
Samsung’s new foldable phones are water-resistant, but how much can they actually take? We test the IPX8 rating on the Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 in fresh water to find out. Update! The speakers on the Z Fold 3 came back to life thanks to fixmyspeakers.com but the fingerprint reader is still not…

Thanks for watching our highly unscientific test! I’ll keep you updated on how the phones go long-term in the description of the video 💦

@Lexy Savvides you should try freeze it over night!

@Majestic Hellium I think salt water will be a bad on the phone(s). Cos drying the interior would be difficult besides the salt content.

If you drop your phone in 4 meters of water, you’re not getting it back.

Funny thing is that a guy did a water and freezing test on fold 2 and it survived but the difference is that because it’s not rated they couldn’t say it was water resistant and also the cameras fogged too

People plz do not do this just because she did the chlorinated water can eat away the water resistance an will ruin your device it’s like salt water

Hi, I was just wondering how is the durability of the Z flip 3? Ive been meaning to upgrade from my S9+ and ive heavily considered getting the Z flip 3, the only thing that’s holding me back is the durability aspect since I heard horror stories with the original fold.

Thank you for reviewing the zee phones. Because of the advent of YouTube, I’ve had to deal with British/Australian/South African /New Zealand accents, and dialect peculiarities, more than at any other time in my life — except when I went to undergraduate school in London. Any little thing you can do to help is much appreciated. If I were doing a review for Brits, I’d zed them as a courtesy and also try not to harass them with annoying American idioms.

So from what I’ve seen others say in the past, (I’m not sure about the current generation of phones) the phones are/were water resistant, but pools and especially salt water were still a detriment.

The creases in these phones worsens over time and triggers my OCD. It’s distracting too since you can feel it when swiping etc.
Trevor Brent
September 7, 2021 at 2:43 am
There is no coating on the insides of the phones. Water does not bead off of any of the electronics inside.
