Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 Roundup – design, pricing, specs & more

Samsung is gearing up for the Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for August 10. The company is expected to launch many new devices at this event, however, the show-stopper will undoubtedly be the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. So, let’s take a look at what we know so far about the upcoming foldable flagship.

Design & display

Design-wise, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is expected to look quite similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but with a slightly slimmer body compared to the previous generation. It is also said to have 6.1 x 5.1 x 0.27 inches (155 x 130 x 7.1 mm) dimensions, which would make it a little shorter but wider and thicker than its predecessor. Other than these differences, the smartphone will ditch the camera module design of the previous generation in favor of a design more akin to that of the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Coming to the display, leaks so far suggest that the smartphone will have 6.2 inches (exterior) and 7.6 inches (interior) display panels like the Galaxy Z Fold 3, however, it is said to have a 6:5 aspect ratio, which is more square compared to the 5:4 ratio found on the current gen foldable. The outer display is expected to have an HD+ AMOLED panel, while the inner display will likely offer a QXGA+ AMOLED panel. Both displays are expected to carry support for a refresh rate of 120Hz.

Specs

Under the hood, the smartphone will house Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen Plus SoC which is built on TSMC’s industry-leading 4nm node and boasts up to 30% battery efficiency compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. The chipset will come paired with either 12GB or 16GB RAM and will be available in 256GB and 512GB storage options.

The device is said to have a 4,400mAh capacity battery with 25W fast charging. On the software front, the foldable will get an Android 12-based UI packed with features like an easy split screen and bottom-mounted taskbar which are features introduced with Android 12L.

Cameras

Rumors surrounding the cameras suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will have a triple camera setup on the back consisting of a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom support.

The device is said to have a 10-megapixel front-facing camera on the outer display, however, the under-display camera on the foldable’s inner panel has leakers divided. Some suggest that the company will offer an improved 16-megapixel under-display camera on the device, while others state that it’ll be the same 4-megapixel sensor featured on the Galaxy Z Fold 3.

Pricing

So far, reliable tipsters like Ross Young have stated that there is a chance of a price cut with the upcoming foldable from Samsung including the Galaxy Z Fold 4. This would be quite the welcome news considering the fact that the Galaxy Z Fold 3 debuted with a starting price of $1,799.

However, recent leaks from European retailers suggest that the device will be getting a 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.

Samsung to Reportedly Drop “Z” From its Foldable Smartphones’ Branding

Samsung is reportedly dumping the letter “Z” from the branding of its latest foldable smartphones. The upcoming foldables by the company will likely not have Z in their names and will just be called Galaxy Fold 4 and Flip 4. It is a welcome change if true because the “Z” feels a little out of place and makes the name unnecessarily long.

Tipster Snoopytech claims that Samsung is dropping the “Z” letter from its foldable series branding and starting with Galaxy Flip and Fold 4, the letter won’t be printed on the boxes anymore. The tipster claims that this is because the Russian Military prominently uses the letter “Z”.

Apparently, the letter “Z” has become a symbol of Russia’s war against Ukraine. The letter was found painted on many Russian military vehicles taking part in the invasion of Ukraine. The meaning of the symbol is unclear, however, some claim that it represents a military zone, while others suggest it refers to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In addition, the Russian defense ministry has signaled that “Z” stands for “za pobedu,” meaning “for victory.”

Samsung had removed the letter “Z” from its foldables in several European countries including Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. As you can see in the image below, the Foldables are referred to as Galaxy Fold 3 and Flip 3.
