The Motorola Razr Fold delivers solid water resistance with its IP48/IP49 rating, making it one of the more durable foldable phones on the market. This certification means the device can handle immersion in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water and withstand powerful water jets, even at high temperatures.

However, the rating comes with important caveats. While the phone excels against liquids, the '4' in its IP rating only protects against particles larger than 1mm, leaving it vulnerable to dust ingress. Users should avoid seawater exposure and rinse the device immediately if it gets submerged in salt water. For comparison, Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold achieves IP68 protection.

Despite dust limitations, the Razr Fold represents Motorola's strongest foldable offering yet. The combination of waterproofing, seven years of OS upgrades, and premium build quality positions it as a compelling alternative to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 in the competitive foldable market.

Motorola's waterproofing approach reflects growing consumer demand for durable smartphones that can handle real-world conditions.
