We keep hearing rumors about Samsung’s upcoming second generation foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Fold 2, which we have already heard can even come in a more affordable variant as the Galaxy Fold 2 Lite. Now, SamMobile draws our attention to a patent, submitted by the South-Korea-based tech giant that suggests that Samsung may be working on a foldable with waterproof protection.

Additionally, on the patent drawings, the foldable smartphone appears to have a smaller external display, resembling this of the Galaxy Z Flip, which most likely can only serve to view notifications and take calls.

We don’t know for sure whether this patent will see the light of day or not, as with patents that’s never certain; however, it would be great if Samsung could create a foldable phone with protection against water and dust. Do you think water protection or IP rating is an important feature for a smartphone these days or you are that type of person that would not care too much of it?
