Samsung really changed the fate of foldable smartphones with its Galaxy Z Flip 3. The phone came at a reasonable price and featured the same processor as the Galaxy S21 series. It felt like the first foldable that actually appealed to the masses. Now, the company is ready to bring the successor to the Flip 3 and it definitely has big shoes to fill in.
The company hasn’t announced the foldable by name, but some promising rumors, press renders, and leaks have already revealed a lot about the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 4. So, here’s everything that we know so far.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Launch Date
Just like last year, Samsung is said to announce the next Galaxy Z Flip this August. The company is holding its Galaxy Unpacked event on August 10th at 9 AM and that’s when we can expect the Galaxy Z Flip 4 to launch. Alongside it, we’ll likely see the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Watch 5 series, and some new earbuds.
The launch date is almost certain because the promotional images and teasers clearly show us the silhouette of a foldable that clearly looks like a Flip phone. In addition, Samsung’s smartphone head also teased new foldables in a recent blog post.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Design
Numerous leaks and renders suggest that the design of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be almost identical to its predecessor. Sure, the device will carry a few changes here and there but nothing too prominent. The foldable is said to have tweaked dimensions, it will be slightly smaller and thicker with dimensions of 165.1 x 71.9 x 7.2mm.
We can expect the Flip 4 to feature a cover display placed in a black strip up top, along with the two cameras. The internal folding screen will likely be 6.7-inches while the cover screen is said to be bumped from 1.83-inches up to 1.9-inches. Moreover, rumors suggest that the crease will likely be less noticeable. The hinge on the device is said to be slightly thinner but there will still be a gap between the two sides of the smartphone when it’s folded closed.
The device is said to be coming in Graphite, Bora Purple, Pink Gold, and Blue colorways. Moreover, reports suggest that Samsung will bring back the “Bespoke edition” which will allow people to customize the color of the front, back, and frame of the phone.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Specifications
The specifications of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 are all over the internet. The device is said to feature a foldable AMOLED 2X display that will offer a Full HD+ resolution of 2640 x 1080 pixels and 120Hz refresh rate.
If we talk about the processor, the Z Flip 4 will likely draw power from a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Soc and since the launch of Moto Razr 2022 is postponed, it may even get the title of the world’s first foldable device to feature this processor. The device could come with at least 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of built-in storage. The device will likely match the performance of Samsung’s Galaxy S22 series, in fact, it may even outperform them.
The device is expected to carry a slightly bigger battery than its predecessor. Leaks suggest it will be backed by 3700mAh dual-cell battery. The device is expected to support a maximum of 25W fast wired charging and sluggish 10W wireless charging.
On the software front, the device will run Android 12L based on One UI 4 out of the box. For the unversed, Android 12L is a version of Android that is optimized for foldable devices. The device will receive 3 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates (If it lasts that long).
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Cameras
From what we know so far, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will likely come with the same set of cameras as the previous Galaxy Z Flip 3. However, the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which is launching alongside the device, is rumored to flaunt several camera improvements.
The device is expected to have the same 12-megapixel main camera, 12-megapixel ultra-wide, and 10-megapixel selfie shooter as that of its predecessor. But it is possible that the new snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset that is said to be under the hood of the Flip 4 may bring new camera features and better photo and video quality.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Price
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is said to have only a minor increase in pricing. Samsung understands that in order to make foldables mainstream, it has to keep the prices under control. We think consumers will be more than happy to purchase the new Galaxy Z Flip 4 if the prices are somewhat similar to its predecessor.
A Report suggests the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be priced at €1109 for the base 128GB variant. The 256 GB storage model is said to come at a price of €1169 (roughly $1191).
