Yesterday, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Fold 4, their newest flagship folding device. The company's fourth foldable device, the latest one debuts just weeks before Apple is scheduled to unveil the iPhone 14.
The build quality, display, user interface, and cameras of the Fold 4 have been slightly tweaked and improved over the Fold 3 from the previous year. Five characteristics of the Galaxy Fold 4 have been compared to new functionality anticipated for the future iPhone 14.
updated display materials
The Galaxy Fold 4 makes use of Samsung's M12 material set and most recent display technologies. In comparison to previous generations, the new display material offers deeper colours and increased brightness.
The next iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max displays are expected to use the same material combination, according to a report from The Elec. The M11 material set will continue to be used for the iPhone 14's more affordable variants.
There aren't any other rumoured display technology improvements for this year's future iPhone save the advantages provided by the new display material. The iPhone 13 Pro had ProMotion, which supports up to 120Hz, last year.
Wide 48MP Camera
The main camera on the Galaxy Fold 4 has been upgraded to a 50MP lens with an f/1.8 aperture. Samsung claims that the hardware and software updates would result in higher-quality photos and movies when combined with enhanced on-device image processing.
There are rumours that the iPhone 14 Pro will have some important camera upgrades, including a significant enhancement to the main camera. The iPhone 14 Pro is anticipated to have a 48MP wide camera in comparison to the present 12MP wide camera on the most expensive iPhone.
When the illumination is perfect, the iPhone 14 Pro will be able to capture 48MP shots, but when it's not, the device will use a technique called pixel-binning to capture 12MP photos. In order to boost its low light performance and add more clarity to images, the wide camera on the iPhone 14 Pro is also rumoured to be getting a 21% bigger sensor.
Additionally, the iPhone 14 Pro is said to be the first iPhone ever to be able to record 8K video. The Galaxy Fold 4 can capture in 4K at 60FPS, just like the most recent iPhone models.
WiFi 6E
This year's iPhone 14, which was initially expected to ship with WiFi 6E, may be the first iPhone to do so. On public networks, the new standard delivers increased speed, range, and capacity.
The first Galaxy Fold to enable WiFi 6E was the Galaxy Fold 3, with the Galaxy Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 following suit. Here you may find out more about WiFi 6E and the enhancements it provides.
More rapid performance
Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 CPUs, which are based on the 4nm production process and have a maximum speed of 3.2GHz, power the Galaxy Fold 4. The new and speedier A16 Bionic technology from Apple will be found in the iPhone 14 Pro.
For the bulk of customers and their daily processes, the Galaxy Fold 4 and the iPhone 14 will both be swift and quick. RAM, though, will be one difference. True multitasking is possible on the Galaxy Fold 4 because to its 12GB of RAM, although the iPhone 14 Pro, like most recent high-end iPhones, is anticipated to have only half that amount.
The RAM in the future iPhone will use LPDDR 5, which is quicker than memory found in earlier generations. This means that the iPhone 14 Pro will probably continue to be competitive with Samsung's 12GB of RAM offering even with just 6GB of RAM with iOS's memory management.
Improved Selfies
The Galaxy Fold 4 sports an under-the-display 4MP camera on the inside and a 10MP selfie camera on the outside display. The enhanced front camera on the iPhone 14 will be similar to that on the Galaxy Fold 4.
According to rumours, the iPhone 14 will have a "high-end" selfie camera with an autofocus feature and a wider f/1.9 aperture. A wider aperture will let more light enter the lens and onto the sensor for clearer, more detailed pictures with increased depth of field.
