Roundup of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: features, price, and more

Samsung is getting ready for the August 10 Galaxy Unpacked event. At this event, the business is anticipated to release a number of new products, but the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will surely steal the show. Let's examine what is currently known about the impending foldable flagship.

Concept and display

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is anticipated to have a very similar design to the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but with a significantly thinner body than its predecessor. It is also claimed to have dimensions of 6.1 x 5.1 x 0.27 inches (155 x 130 x 7.1 mm), which would make it slightly shorter than its predecessor but wider and thicker. Beyond these variations, the smartphone will eliminate the camera module design of the previous generation in favor of a design more akin to that of the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Regarding the display, reports to date indicate that the smartphone would have 6.2 inches (outside) and 7.6 inches (internal) display panels like the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but it is also rumoured to have a 6:5 aspect ratio, which is more square than the 5:4 ratio present on the current generation foldable. The inner display is believed to have a QXGA+ AMOLED panel, while the outer display is anticipated to have an HD+ AMOLED panel. It is anticipated that both panels would support a refresh rate of 120Hz.

Specs

The smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm's most recent Snapdragon 8+ Gen Plus SoC, which is constructed on TSMC's leading 4nm node and offers up to 30% more battery life than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 did.chip. The chipset will come paired with either 12GB or 16GB RAM and will be available in 256GB and 512GB storage options.

According to reports, the smartphone has a 4,400mAh battery with 25W rapid charging. Software-wise, the foldable will include an Android 12-based user interface (UI) with features like an easy split screen and a taskbar mounted at the bottom, both of which were added to Android 12L.

Cameras According to camera rumours, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will include a triple camera arrangement on the back that consists of a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, a 12-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 50-megapixel primary camera.

The device reportedly boasts a 10-megapixel front-facing camera on the outside display, but there are conflicting reports on the foldable's inner panel's under-display camera. While some claim that the business will include a more advanced 16-megapixel under-display camera on the gadget, others claim that the same 4-megapixel sensor found on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will be used.

Pricing

As of now, dependable analysts like Ross Young have predicted that prices for Samsung's next foldable devices, like the Galaxy Z Fold 4, may drop. Given that the Galaxy Z Fold 3's starting price at launch was $1,799, this would be really good news.

Recent reports from European shops, however, indicate that the tablet will be receivinga price hike rather than a price cut, starting at €1,799 for the 256GB storage model, while the 512GB model is said to cost €1919. We would suggest our readers take these pricing leaks with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for the official reveal scheduled for August 10.
