 IP48 rating for water and dust resistance

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 are expected to come with an IP48 rating for dust and water protection, based on Evan Blass's leaked specs. The rating has itself become the talk of the town, with people on the internet considering it as a disappointing upgrade. However, it is a significant upgrade from last year's IPX8 rating. Several foldable smartphones including Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, Motorola Razr 50 Ultra, and others offer IPX8, however, this is the first time any foldable smartphone would receive formal dust protection. Additionally, it is also better than  OnePlus Open's IPX4 rating.
