Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 could come with massive internal storage

Samsung is gearing up to announce its next-generation foldable smartphone in the market which is expected to go official in the coming months in the form of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Flip 4.

While the official launch is still months away, there have been several leaks and reports that have revealed some key information about the upcoming phones. Now, a new report sheds light on the internal storage of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 smartphone.

The South Korean giant will continue to offer 256GB and 512GB of internal storage options and the 1TB storage option will be added. In that case, the device could cost somewhere around $2,000 given that the 512GB storage model costs $1,899.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is expected to have the same display sizes as its predecessor, featuring a 7.6-inch internal and 6.2-inch external screen. But the phone is said to have a smaller and lighter hinge, narrower bezels, and a wide aspect ratio.

It is most likely to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and have a 50-megapixel primary camera sensor on the back panel, coupled with a better telephoto lens with 3x zoom support.

The phone is said to run the Android 12 operating system out-of-the-box with the company’s own One UI custom user interface on top. It could be powered by a 4,400mAh capacity battery with 25W fast charging.
