Let's see why that might be...
My last Google Pixel barely touched water and that was the end of that. Meanwhile, I remember a friend literally dropping his flip phone into a glass of beer (intentionally to show off its waterproofness) nearly two decades ago and it being perfectly fine after he took it out.
I don't have a point, I'm just still bitter about the Pixel. I wish more companies would make smaller phones.
Weird that your Pixel didn't handle water
I've dropped my 8 pro into the tub like 8 times in the 8 months ive owned it and it just disabled the port and is fine
Same with my pixel 6, 4, and 2 XL
Come to think of it I haven't lost a phone to liquid since my LG G7, which I dropped into a bucket of diesel
All I can imagine from your description is you looking for opportunities to dunk your phones.
I used to keep my phone in my breast pocket because I wasn't allowed to wear headphones at work but WAS allowed to put it there and play audio aloud
Thus my phone would flip out far more often than a normal person
That sucks.
My Pixel Fold got dropped in sub zero ethenol (don't ask), and it was fine. So I think you just got unlucky.
Well, first you should really check the facts before you throw out some nonsense.
The Z Folds are IPX8 water resistant. But it's not resistant to dust.
Having a big dynamic island taking away content on screen is actually 10000 times worse than an invincible crease when you look at the screen in front of the screen.
Actually, the outer screen on any smartphones are likely to get cracked a long time before the inner screen on the Z Folds gets damaged.
The hinge on the Z Fold5 is rock solid. The Z Fold4 had a bad hinge. I know because I was unlucky to get a bad hinge on my Z Fold4.
If you look at the price on an iPhone 15 Pro Max, specifically here in Norway, you will see that the Z Fold5 with 512 GB internal storage is about 100 dollar cheaper than the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 512 GB internal storage.
That's true. But that doesn't means the cameras on the Z Fold5 are bad in any ways though.
I mean, saying a model is cheaper than the latest iPhone is like saying Teslas are cheaper than Mercedes-Benz.
