Since the launch of the first foldable phone, durability has been a major concern of potential buyers. However, Samsung he perfected the design of three generations and he did Galaxy Z Fold3 i Galaxy Z Flip3 much more durable than its predecessors.
If you want a summary of what has been done, this short video from Samsung summarizes all the upgrades. The biggest upgrade is that the third-generation Z phones are the first foldable phones to be waterproof with an IPX8 rating.
Drop resistance has been improved because in this generation both models use Gorilla Glass Victus together with the new Armor Aluminum frame. The screen has also been redesigned to include ultra-thin glass and a new protective layer, allowing it to survive 200,000 cycles (that’s over 100 cycles a day for 5 years, although keep in mind that the tests were done at room temperature).

In addition to water, dust that enters the hinges could also cause headaches. Samsung has improved the cleaning technology that has made the new folding appliances better in dust protection. Some foreign objects can still get into the hinges, so be careful when using the phone in dusty or dirty environments, writes GSM Arena.
