Currently, all Samsung’s flagship smartphones have a waterproof feature. For example, the Galaxy S21 has IP68 water and dust resistance certification, while the foldable smartphones Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3 that have been released in the past months have IPX8 water resistance certification. But it looks like Samsung’s water resistance plan for next year is much different than we thought.
WATER-RESISTANCE DOPING TO A-SERIES FROM SAMSUNG
According to The Elec, at least four Samsung Galaxy A models will have water-resistant bodies next year. Some of these models may be the Galaxy A73 and A53 models, which are said to come with IP67 certification.
IT MAY BE THE CHEAPEST IP-GRADED MODEL NEXT YEAR
In addition, the new Galaxy A33 model, which Samsung is expected to take to the stage in January, may also receive water resistance. Thus, next year Samsung’s cheapest phone with an IP rating could be the Galaxy A33. At least that’s what the allegations are.
It is alleged that the company’s aim with this plan is to increase its strength against Chinese companies such as Xiaomi and Oppo, with which it competes in the lower and middle segment smartphone market.
In addition, according to the report, the company will also simplify the production process of the back cover of smartphones next year. It is said that this step will help increase the profitability of the company by reducing costs.
