Samsung smartphone users are still struggling with the recurring issue of green and pink lines appearing on their screens, a problem that seems to predominantly affect devices equipped with Super AMOLED displays. Although Samsung has recognized the issue and introduced a free repair policy for out-of-warranty Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy S20 series phones impacted by this problem, it’s worth mentioning that other devices are also suffering from similar screen anomalies.

Galaxy Z Flip 4: A New Addition to Samsung’s Green Line Woes

A notable case involves a user in India who experienced a green line on the upper left side of their Galaxy Z Flip 4, just five months after purchase. Despite the user’s assurance of no physical damage, the service center refused a free screen replacement, claiming the issue was not covered under warranty. The user’s desperate attempts to contact Samsung via Twitter were met with silence, leaving them feeling ignored and dismissed.

Samsung’s handling of this ongoing issue has been puzzling and inconsistent. While they’ve generously offered a free screen replacement for an out-of-warranty Galaxy S22 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra, they haven’t extended the same courtesy to all affected devices. This selective approach could potentially damage Samsung’s reputation, particularly among its loyal customers who have invested in high-end models. It’s also worth noting that some users have reported white lines on their displays, further highlighting the seriousness of this issue. For instance, an Indian user recently reported a white line on the screen of their Samsung Galaxy A71.

The frustration caused by this issue has led some users to take the drastic step of selling their devices. Interestingly, these screen issues persist even after firmware updates, suggesting that the root cause is not physical damage or user mishandling.

Given these troubling developments, it’s crucial for Samsung to take decisive action and prioritize resolving these widespread user complaints. By doing so, they can demonstrate their commitment to customer satisfaction, potentially mitigating any harm to their reputation. Samsung should also offer comprehensive support through their official service centers and social media to reassure their customers and maintain their trust.

While we have already shared our views on some of the best smartphones under varying  budgets, today we bring you a list of some of the best premium smartphones in India. So let’s have a look.

Apple iPhone 14 series

The Apple iPhone 14 series is currently one of the latest flagship series of smartphones that were released in the global market. With the 2022 iPhone lineup, the company brought a number of major changes in some models while others saw barely any difference. Starting with the higher end models, the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max are easily one of the top contenders for a true premium smartphone experience in the market.

One can expect top notch performance and optimizations from Apple, while also getting the first iPhone that drops the notch in favor of the Dynamic Island, which is basically refers to the new punch hole cutouts and even the number of functionality and features that comes along with it. On the other hand, the iPhone 14 sees no substantial upgrades over the previous generation iPhone 13, except for a slightly refreshed chipset.

The only change in the series overall is the iPhone 14 Plus, which replaces the iPhone mini model. But since the lower end models do not bring a substantial change to warrant an upgrade for iPhone 13 users. So we can even recommend the iPhone 13 lineup as well, which has recently been seeing sizeable discounts in India thanks to the ongoing festive season sales. Keep in mind that the 2021 model will still offer a premium flagship experience. The based iPhone 14 goes for 79,900 INR in India, while the iPhone 14 Plus costs 89,900 INR. The iPhone 14 Pro has a price tag of 1,39,900 INR and the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a price tag of 1,49,900 INR.

Samsung Galaxy S22 series

We can’t have a flagship list without including Samsung‘s flagship smartphones. With the Galaxy S22 series, the South Korean brand is basically offering a premium handset experience that may fit the needs of different people. Talking about the specs first, the entire lineup features either the Exynos 2200 (Europe) or the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC (ROW). The Galaxy S22 series, includes the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

The primary difference between the three models are the sizes, with the base variant having a 6.1 inch panel, while the Plus model having a 6.6 inch screen, and the Ultra model sporting a 6.8 inch display. Since Samsung is known for its AMOLED panels, the series offers some of the best smartphone display in the market. Notably, the Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy S22 Ultra even offer one of the highest brightness on a smartphone’s screen (with 1750 nits of peak brightness).

For those looking to buy a premium handset that isn’t too large, the Galaxy S22 is one of the best compact smartphones in the market. But for those looking for a larger flagship device, the Galaxy S22+ is a worthy consideration. There is even an option for the Galaxy Note devices, with the Galaxy S22 Ultra being offered along with a stylus for the productivity-oriented users. The base model starts from 75,999 INR, while the Plus model is priced at 88,999 INR. The top-end Ultra model costs 118,999 INR and one can find the entire series on Amazon India.

Google Pixel 7 series

Following the iPhone 14 release, Google soon followed up with its own flagship smartphone release. This year, it announced the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro, which aimed to once again showcase what a true Google phone or an Android phone with top notch software is like. The Pixel 6 series was the first generation of Pixel to feature the company’s proprietary chipset and the Pixel 7 lineup retains this, with a second gen Tensor G2 SoC. While this doesn’t bring a large performance bump in terms of raw power, it helps boost the more AI powered features that these phones offer, which is also what it is known for.

Furthermore, it also arrives with new and improved cameras, with the Pixel 7 Pro topping the DxOMark by tieing with the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate. So, we can safely assume that this is one of the best smartphone cameras. If this alone isn’t attractive enough, you get a number of exclusive Google features like speech recognition, Direct My call, and even some exclusive camera features like Photo Unblur, which lets you basically unblur any photo on your Pixel 7. This joins the likes of existing features like Magic Eraser. Both models also come with IP68 water and dust resistance rating. The Pixel 7 starts from 59,999 INR, while the Pixel 7 Pro goes for 84,999 INR.

Vivo X80 Pro

The Vivo X80 Pro is the top flagship offering from the Chinese brand. With the X80 series (excluding the X80 Pro+ in India), the company has offered premium handsets that feature top notch specs. The X80 Pro model features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, Quad HD AMOLED Display, and 80W fast charging support. The 6.78 inch panel also supports 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and an impressive peak brightness of 1500 nits.

Although, despite all of these robust features, its unique selling point is undoubtedly its camera setup. It has a quad camera setup with 50 megapixel primary sensor, 48-megapixel ultra wide angle lens, 12-megapixel telephoto lens, and an 8 megapixel periscope zoom lens as well. The camera module also features Zeiss optics and Zeiss T* lens coating, with its camera performance being praised across the board. The smartphone is currently listed on Flipkart and is priced at 79,999 INR.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 & Galaxy Z Flip 4

Since we’re talking about premium phones that offer a flagship experience, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are a pair of two true ultra premium foldable phones. Both of these features various improvements over their predecessors, which comes in the form of upgraded cameras, larger batteries, and even Android 12L, which is an Android OS made specifically for devices with large screens.

Apart from having a unique form factor than the other models in this list, these also offer a premium and durable design with its Armor Aluminum frames and hinge, which is also complimented by the exclusive Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ for the front and rear glass panels. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the more expensive model of the two and features a notebook-like horizontally folding panel.

Both its out and inner displays are also made from Samsung’s top notch AMOLED 2X panels and offer 120Hz high refresh rate. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 model has a clamshell vertically folding display that also features the same display specs, but is paired with a smaller outer panel that serves interesting features and functions of its own. Both devices are powered by Qualcomm’s latest and greatest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset and offer IPX8 water resistance. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 starts from 1,54,999 INR in India, while the Galaxy Z Flip 4 starts from 89,999 INR.

Samsung has been running the Android 13-based One UI 5.0 beta program for multiple smartphones across different regions for the last few weeks. However, the company is yet to reveal the list of eligible devices and update rollout plan.

Ahead of that, a report has now emerged detailing the handsets that may get access to the latest version of Android before 2023. Let’s check out which Samsung phones will be the first to receive the One UI 5.0 stable update.

According to a report by SamMobile, Samsung will update two generations of its flagship smartphones to One UI 5.0 stable based on Android 13 by the end of 2022. What’s more interesting is that the South Korean tech giant will also deliver this update to a mid-ranger during this same period.

The device in question is none other than Galaxy A53. If this is true, then, the A53 will become the first A series phone to receive the latest Android update alongside the flagships.

With that out of the way, here’s the list of Samsung handsets that are said to get Android 13 stable update before 2023.

• Galaxy Z Fold 4
• Galaxy Z Fold 3
• Galaxy Z Flip 4
• Galaxy Z Flip 3
• Galaxy S22 Ultra
• Galaxy S21 Ultra
• Galaxy S22 Plus
• Galaxy S21 Plus
• Galaxy S22
• Galaxy S21
• Galaxy A53

Though Samsung’s update plan seems good based on this report, it actually falls behind Oppo’s. The latter has already rolled out the Android 13 stable update for its as well as OnePlus’ 2022 flagships.

Anyway, Samsung is ahead of all Android OEMs in terms of longer support. It is the only brand to offer 4 generations of Android updates and 5 years of security updates.

Two model numbers, SM-F721U and SM-F721U1, are mentioned in the FCC documents of the Z Flip 4. The former is a carrier variant, whereas the latter is an unlocked variant for the US. The FCC documents do not have any information on the major specs of the Z Flip 4.

Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 4 smartphone along with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and it appears that the design of the clamshell foldable smartphone remains the same as its predecessor.

While the design might be similar to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be offered in interesting color options. The latest report coming from Ross Young has revealed the color options which will be available for the smartphone.

As per the report, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be available in nine color options, which include Gold, Gray, Light Blue, and Purple. There are also five combination colors — Black/Green/Green, Gold/Yellow/White, Gold/Yellow/Yellow, Silver/Navy/Navy, and Silver/White/White.

It is said that the gray-colored model will be produced in large numbers for the first few months, followed by purple and gold. In that case, it’s safe to assume that the South Korean giant is of the opinion that there won’t be many takers for the new hues.

The phone is expected to have a 2.1-inch cover screen and a 16.7-inch main foldable display with a less noticeable crease. Under the hood, it will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor, coupled with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage.

In the camera department, there will be a 12MP dual-camera setup on the back. It is expected to run the Android-based One UI and be powered by a 3,700mAh battery that supports 25W wired charging and 10W wireless charging.

Samsung is expected to host its next Unpacked launch event in the month of August to unveil the next-generation foldable smartphones as well as the company’s upcoming Galaxy Watch 5 series models.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is expected to launch on Aug. 10. The company is also expected to announce the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Watch 5 series alongside it. Well ahead of the launch, TechTalkTV has shared the real-life images of the Z Flip 4 to reveal its design.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 leaked images

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 hands-on images show that its overall appearance is identical to last year’s Galaxy Z Flip 3. Starting from the front, the Z Flip 4 offers marginally thinner bezels. It continues to feature a foldable screen with a centrally positioned punch-hole. The source claims that the Galaxy Z Flip 4’s display has a shallower crease as compared to its predecessor.

The size of the hinge looks significantly thinner than the Galaxy Z Flip 3. Hence it appears that it could be lighter than the previous model. However, there is a visible gap when the device is closed. The cover display also appears a bit bigger than that of the Flip 3.

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 continues to sport a dual-tone design. Besides the cover display is a dual-camera system. It is also equipped with a side-facing fingerprint scanner. The leak also claims that the Z Flip 4 will offer a bigger battery life. There are two reasons behind it. The first one is that it is equipped with a bigger battery, which is couple with a more efficient chipset.

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a 3,700mAh battery like the Galaxy S22. It will carry support for 25W fast charging. It may also support wireless charging. Previous reports have revealed that it will come with a 6.7-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz foldable screen, Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, up to 12 GB of RAM, up to 512 GB of storage, Android 12 OS, a 12-megapixel (main) + 12-megapixel (ultrawide) dual-camera system, and a 10-megapixel front camera.

Samsung is expected to hold a launch event in August to announce its next generation of foldables, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. Speculations are rife that the Galaxy Watch 5 series will be unveiled alongside the Z-series devices. Well ahead of the launch, popular tipster Jon Prosser has tipped the launch date and color variants of the Z Fold 4, Z Flip 4, and Watch 5 series.

According to Prosser, Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event will be held on Aug. 10. The event will see the arrival of the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Z Flip, Watch 5, and Watch 5 Pro. The pre-orders of these devices will be carried out on the same date, with sales beginning on Aug. 26.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 will be available in Phantom Black, Green, and Beige colors. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will come in colors like Graphite, Bora Purple, Pink Gold, and Blue.

The specifications of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 have already leaked. Since there is still a long time until the next Galaxy Unpacked event, more information about the Galaxy Watch 5 series is likely to come out in the coming days.

The post Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, Z Flip 4, Watch 5 series launch date, color variants tipped appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung is expected to debut the Galaxy Z Flip 4 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 4 in August. Ahead of that, details about the company’s next-gen clamshell foldable smartphone are emerging on the internet. The latest information from a reliable source reveals the handset’s maximum storage capacity.

Ever since Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Flip lineup, its internal storage has been limited to 256GB with no support for MicroSD card expansion. 

Last year, the South Korean electronics giant debuted a lower 128GB model with the Galaxy Z Fold 3, and, as a result, the starting price was lowered. In 2022, the company is said to finally upgrade the maximum storage capacity to 512GB.

According to an exclusive report by SamMobile, the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4 will arrive in three storage options, such as 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB. The new maximum storage option will be offered for variants with model numbers SM-F7210, SM-F721U1, and SM-F721N.

Further, since the smartphone is expected to retain the price of its predecessor, the publication also hints at the pricing of all three storage versions. It says that the 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB models of Galaxy Z Fold 4 could retail at $999, $1049, and $1100 respectively.

Apart from higher storage, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is said to come with a 12% larger battery and a 2+ inch cover display.

Even though the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 have not been announced yet, both devices seem to be garnering attention across the tech world for the past week because both devices have appeared on several national consumer electronics safety certification platforms across a few key international markets as of late. 

As the conversation for both Samsung’s next generation of foldables continues to flare up, famous smartphone industry insider and leakster, Ice Universe, has taken to Twitter today to share some key specifications about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4.

In his tweets today, Ice Universe reveals that the Z Flip 4 will be sporting a more generous 3,700mAh battery, which is 12 per cent larger than the 3,300mAh battery found on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3. Coupled in with the latest news that the Z Flip 4 is confirmed to feature 25W charging over the 15W found on last year’s Z Flip 3, it seems that Samsung has created the 2022 Galaxy Z Flip 4 to solve the battery endurance complaints of its current-generation Z Flip users.

On the other hand, the bad news here is that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will retain the same 4,400mAh battery as last year’s Z Fold 3. Although battery performance on the Z Fold 3 was not bad per se, it was not great either. Foldables fans will be disappointed to hear that the Z Fold 4 this year will also only sport 25W fast charging instead of the 45W charging that Samsung had introduced on its Galaxy S22 Plus and S22 Ultra devices this year.

However, there was good news about the Z Fold 4 revealed today. Ice Universe has also shared the display aspect ratios for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 on Twitter. He shares that the Fold 4’s external cover display has an aspect ratio is 23:9, and the inner folding display has an aspect ratio of 6:5. For context, the Z Fold 3, has a 24.5:9 external cover display and a 5:4 inner folding display.

If those aspect ratios sound confusing to you, then here’s the TLDR after all the math is done. Assuming the height of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will remain the same as the Z Fold 3, the Z Fold 4 will be featuring a 6.5% wider cover display, and a 4.17% wider inner folding display. This design means that the Z Fold 4 will be having an overall broader body, with more screen real estate, and the inner folding screen will now resemble more of a 1:1 square than that of a rectangle. 

The squarish design change for the Z Fold 4 sounds rather off-putting at first, but if Samsung can manage the proportions and ergonomics of its foldables just right, the design change may be a welcome one for the future foldable smartphone users worldwide.

The post Z Flip4 To Feature 12% Larger Battery, Z Fold4 to Feature 6.5% Wider Cover Display – Rumour appeared first on Gizmochina.

Though there are multiple OEMs selling foldable smartphones, it is Samsung who is leading the market. Primary reasons for this include wider availability, better durability, good software, and most importantly affordability. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 is currently the best-selling foldable phone in the world due to the aforementioned reasons. It looks like the South Korean tech giant wants to continue this momentum with the Galaxy Z Flip 4 by introducing improvements.

One of the drawbacks of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 is its 1.9-inch cover display. Though the external screen is larger than the 1.1-inch panel of the original Galaxy Z Flip and the Galaxy Z Flip 5G, it is still small for better usability.

Samsung wants to fix this issue by implementing a larger cover screen on the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 4. According to Ross Young of Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC), the external display on the successor of the Galaxy Z Flip 3 will be bigger than 2-inch.

If this turns out to be true, we can expect the company to allow users to make good use of the larger outer canvas with new software features. Additionally, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is also said to house a slightly larger battery than its predecessor.

Having said that, we are still months away from the launch of the new Samsung foldables. Hence, we are looking forward to learning more about them in the coming days. We expect more rumors, leaks, and certifications to emerge soon.
