There are only a couple of brands in the smartphone market that offer a foldable phone model. However, all of these arrive with a heft price tag. Now, a new report has revealed what it actually costs to build a foldable phone from Samsung, so let’s see if its actually worth their exorbitant price tags.

The foldable handset is a fairly recent breed of smartphones with its unique flexible display technology. In the foldable segment, the South Korean tech giant is the leader in this category with its latest Galaxy Z Fold 4 5G model being its flagship model. This foldable phone had been first launched for an eye watering price tag of 1,799 US Dollars. But this is the official pricing and not its official production cost.

However, a new report has found the official cost of actually building a Galaxy Z Fold 4. As oer an independent teardown from Fomalhaut Techno Solution, Samsung has to spend around 670 US Dollars for each unit of this model. In other words, the manufacturing expense of the flagship foldable smartphone is around 40 percent of its actual retail price tag. This means that the company still has a larger left for its profit margin.

Although, this profit margin is still nothing compared to the margins brought in by a brand like Apple. Furthermore, this cost would likely include the company’s efforts in marketing and advertising as well as other operations cost. Regardless, with cutting edge technology and other features, the hefty price tag for the Galaxy Z Fold 4 seems understandable now.

Android security patches are updates to the Android operating system that address security vulnerabilities. These patches are released regularly by Google and other Android manufacturer to ensure that devices remain secure. The patches fix a variety of vulnerabilities, ranging from bugs in the operating system itself to issues with specific apps. In addition to fixing security vulnerabilities, Android security patches can also include performance improvements and bug fixes. Lastly, Samsung pusher December security patch for Galaxy Z Fold 4.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 Gets December 2022 security Update That Xixes More Than 80 Vulnerabilities

Samsung is currently rolling out the December security patch for the unlocked version of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 foldable in the US. This update follows Google’s release of the same patch for its Pixel phone lineup. The patch, which weighs around 400MB, will also be available for carrier-specific versions of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 in the coming days.

Samsung’s latest security patch for the foldable superphone includes more than 60 high-risk vulnerabilities and five critical vulnerabilities and exposures. The patch also includes over a dozen Galaxy-specific fixes. It is important to update your device with this patch as soon as possible to protect against these security vulnerabilities.

In addition to addressing security vulnerabilities, Samsung’s latest patch for the Galaxy Z Fold 4 also includes bug fixes and improvements. The patch does not include any new features, as One UI 5 and Android 13 were recently released for a number of Samsung devices. It is typical for monthly patches to include bug fixes and improvements without introducing new features.

Samsung has been delivering major Android updates quickly in recent years. The company took just a couple of months to release the One UI 5/Android 13 update, compared to previous release times that could take twice as long or longer. The One UI 5 update has been well-received, with improved fluidity of the interface being a standout feature. It is expected that the Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy Z Flip 4, and older Samsung flagship devices will receive the latest security patch soon.

Samsung has just launched a new Galaxy Z Fold 4 special edition in its home market of South Korea. The company has unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 4 Genshin Impact Edition, which comes with a unique aesthetic. So let’s have a look.

Recently, there have been a number of brands launching Genshin Impact edition limited models for their products. This isn’t surprising since the cross platform game is quite popular across the globe. Now, the South Korean tech giant has also launched its own special edition inspired by the game, with the game’s character “Ganyu” being the primary theme. For those unaware, this character is a Cyro character in the game, so it makes sense that the foldable smartphone’s special edition features blue accents. (Click here for more images.)

We can also see the character as well on the rear panel of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 5G model. Notably, the brand announced this new collaboration at the Global Game Exhibition G-STAR 2022, which is currently being hosted in South Korea and will last till 10th November 2022. Apart from the Galaxy Z Fold 4 5G, the company also announced a new Galaxy Buds2 Pro Genshin Impact Edition package as well, which also has a Ganyu character theme. This includes some special stickers and a transparent soft protective case.

As of right now, the pricing for the two new special edition devices is still unknown. Although we can expect it to have a slightly more expensive price tag that the regular model. Apart from the physical difference in design, both new products feature the same specs and features as the vanilla versions as well. Unfortunately, it is currently unknown if Samsung will launch the new Genshin Impact special edition models outside of South Korea.

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.

Samsung Z Fold 4 and Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 are two of the early Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 foldable phones launched this year, so of course, many people are curious about which one is better. And it just so happens that our Z Fold 4 has arrived.

So it’s time to directly compare the Z Fold 4 vs the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2.

DESIGN

Everyone has their own favorite designs, so we won’t discuss which phone is better looking. However, the design is still very different from the actual experience. The most obvious difference is the size and screen ratio.

The MIX Fold 2 looks more like a normal phone when folded. In contrast the Z Fold 4 is even smaller and has a narrower screen width. You must have thought I would give the MIX Fold 2 a good rating because it is more like a normal phone and thinner than other foldable models. Of course not! Z Fold 4 is very friendly for one-handed operation because of its smaller and narrower screen. Because the scenario of using the outside screen is basically outdoors, it is more comfortable for daily use, except for typing which may be it’s easy to press the wrong key.

On the other hand, the MIX Fold 2 is thinner, but its frame is not flat, like two steel plates against your palm. With a wider body and a more slippery back panel, the folded experience is really not as good as the Z Fold 4. When unfolded, the MIX Fold 2 turns from two steel plates into one steel plate that sticks to your pinky finger. Almost the same weight of Z Fold 4 but with a thicker body to get a more comfortable experience. Therefore, do not think that being thin is good, sometimes it would be counterproductive.

DISPLAY

I do want to compare their screen quality, but they are both top-of-the-line Samsung screens and I really don’t see any difference. I would recommend you to choose from its screen size and usage. For example, if you prefer a larger screen, choose the MIX Fold 2. If you like to play with one hand, choose Z Fold 4. Or if you don’t like the imperfect front lens of Samsung screen, you can choose MIX Fold 2. But if you need to do online meetings very often, then Z Fold 4 is more suitable for you.

Although the Z Fold has been updated to the fourth generation, the hinge is still something that many people complain about: Why is there still a gap there?

The cheaper MIX Fold 2 doesn’t have this problem, but that doesn’t mean it will have a better hinge than the Z Fold 4. The inability to fix the angle makes it less applicable than the Z Fold 4, for example, it can’t take time-lapse by itself, and it can’t stand on the table by itself. To make these functions possible, the hinge of Z Fold 4 is particularly stiff, which means that it requires a lot of force to unfold.

Let’s put it this way, opening the Z Fold 4 is like opening a rusty door, and with the flat frame, you really have to be careful not to drop your phone when unfolding it. This is where the curved frame of the MIX Fold 2 gets the edge. It has a flexible hinge, so it is very comfortable to open and close. The MIX Fold 2 has a wide and light crease, while the Z Fold 4 is narrow and deep. I don’t think there is a loser in the hinge section. Both of them just focus on different points.

PERFORMANCE, BENCHMARKS & GAMING

Performance has never been a strong point of Samsung phones, but just looking at Benchmark scores, the Z Fold 4 seems to be very powerful, and the result is very similar for MIX Fold 2. But scores don’t tell everything, you still need to actually play a few games to understand its actual performance. But Samsung did surprise us with a completely different game performance and score. Compared to the bright performance of the MIX Fold 2, the Z Fold 4 didn’t perform at all like a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 phone in large 3D games. And we didn’t test it at Sumeru, so if the test environment was tougher, the performance would have been even worse. So if you’re into playing big games like Genshin, the MIX Fold 2 is the better choice. 

1 of 4

Although Z Fold 4 is not as good as MIX Fold 2 in terms of frame rate, there is one thing that it is better than MIX Fold 2. In Genshin Impact, it is set to Highest Graphics, and the clarity is obviously much higher than MIX Fold 2. So you can choose to play with lower Graphics and the quality is not worse than MIX Fold 2. After our test, the frame rate did improve, but it’s still not as good as MIX Fold 2. Anyway, it’s finally crossing the pass line.

Both PUBG Mobile can only be selected up to HDR Graphics 60 fps mode. Both perform exactly the same and there is not much to say about them.

CAMERAS

The MIX Fold 2 has two Leica modes, and we chose LEICA VIBRANT for comparison. Because the other mode has a very strong filter effect, while LEICA VIBRANT is closer to the colors of a traditional phone.

Both phones have a camera system consisting of a main camera, ultra-wide camera, and telephoto camera. To be honest, in most scenes they perform similarly and it’s hard for me to tell you which one is better. I can only tell you what styles they have in specific scenes. For example, the white balance of the Z Fold 4’s photos leans towards warm colors, while the MIX Fold 2 is cooler. The Z Fold 4’s ultra-wide camera can take brighter photos in extremely low light, but it requires you to hold the phone for 7 seconds. The MIX Fold 2 is not as bright, but it only takes you 3 seconds.

Also, the Z Fold 4 has a 3x optical lens, while it’s a 2x in MIX Fold 2, and the Z Fold 4 has a wider ultra-wide angle camera. So the focal length coverage of Z Fold 4 will be more comprehensive. You can see that even at 5x magnification, the Z Fold 4 is not particularly blurry, but the MIX Fold 2 has turned into an oil painting. A wider lens can also help you take more unique photos, so I personally prefer the Z Fold 4 camera system.

For full-sized camera samples, you can check out this drive link.

Regarding how to make full use of this big screen, Samsung is definitely the better one. This time One UI 4.0 is really friendly to foldable phones, on the other hand, the UI on MIX FOLD is like a half-baked cake. Mix Fold 2’s operation logic is similar to most Xiaomi phones, even the split screen function can not be split into upper and lower parts, only left and right, and you can not change the size. These problems do not exist in the Z Fold 4, and One UI added a similar PC task bar design, Type C port can also support video output, making this foldable phone more like a mini PC. Oh, stylus is also there for Z Fold 4, but not supported by Xiaomi. I think the foldable phone software in Samsung is certainly better than Xiaomi. We should all agree on this point, right?

CHARGING & BATTERY

The MIX Fold 2 supports 67w wired charging, which is much faster than the 25w of the Z Fold 4. It takes 45 minutes and 65 minutes to fully charge both. The Z Fold 4 is not as powerful, but it has wireless charging, so you can always keep it fully charged.

The battery capacity is about the same for both, and the chip is the same, so the battery life should theoretically be about the same, and it shouldn’t affect your choice. By the way, if you buy the Z Fold 4, you will get a 33w charger and a charging cable. But If you buy the MIX Fold 2, you’ll also get a very nice case and a screen film for the outside screen.

Just by looking at the specs, the two phones come very close. But there are some things that you can’t tell who is good and who is bad just by looking at the specs. Through our actual experience and testing, we have listed out their pros and cons to see if you can accept them.

In my opinion, Z Fold 4 is a near-perfect foldable phone, and as long as you can afford it, I recommend it the most among all foldable phones. If you don’t care about the drawbacks of MIX Fold 2, then it is not that bad, it’s just that the rivals are too good this time.

The just released Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 could be in for a great run. A tech geek has posted a YouTube video that detailed how he transformed the latest Samsung foldable flagship into a Windows Phone. Mark Spurrel used a combination of two Android launchers and Bixby Routines to achieve his objective. The process holds some promise for the versatility of the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 have just become available with improved components from the first-generation Z-series foldable phones. The YouTube video covered how the tech geek transformed his new foldable to look like a Windows PC on the inner display. The process showed a folding phone having the Windows Phone tiles when closed. These tiles are customizable and match what you would expect on a typical Windows Phone. In addition, Spurrel was able to create quick access to other functions like the camera.

The transformed inner display of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 has the Windows 10 desktop environment, with shortcuts and the start menu. The widgets for the clock, calendar, and other settings are located in the bottom left corner. There is also a full panel for settings and notifications. The innovator, however, pointed out that the transformation isn’t perfect, as the phone constantly switches between launchers. It is surely a great starting point however and he can significantly improve the process for greater efficiency.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 currently starts at $1,799.99. It is both an excellent tablet and a great smartphone combined in a single device. It has a lightning-fast Snapdragon chipset and an overall durable and performance-driven setup. There are a variety of trade-ins and network plans from several carriers like AT&T and Verizon, as well as retailers like Amazon and Best Buy.

Samsung had just recently announced two new foldable smartphones, namely the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. Notably, the former arrived with new software features that helps improve the user experience on a foldable model. But, it appears that this feature might not be exclusive to this device for long.

For those unaware, the South Korean tech giant’s latest foldable smartphones made a major shift to Android 12L OS. This version of Android was made by Google specifically with foldable handsets in mind, along with tablets and Chrome OS devices as well. Through this, the company was able to offer a new Taskbar feature on the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which helped in improving the multi tasking functionality and navigation options on the new device.

But according to a tweet from @TheGalox_, the brand is also planning on introducing this feature to older Galaxy Z Fold series foldable smartphones as well. Interestingly, this also means that Samsung will be updating all or at least the more recent Fold phone models to the Android “L” branch as well. In other words, they will get some of the other new changes in the UI.

Unfortunately, it is still unclear whether the new One UI 4.1.1 build is related to the new Android 12L OS. Although, its clear that these features are a great addition to the new foldable smartphones. So stay tuned for more updates regarding this matter.

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.

Originally, there was going to be a single smartphone launch event next week. But now, two of the conferences that got postponed this week may take place next week. Hence, the number of events has increased to three.

The biggest conference of all will be Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event for its next-gen foldable phones. Whereas, the second most important one will be by Motorola, which is again for a foldable handset.

The third and final event will be by OnePlus to debut its latest flagship smartphone in China, which went official internationally a few days back.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at all the phones that are launching next week.

Upcoming Smartphones Next Week

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4

Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event is scheduled to take place on August 10. It will begin at 9 AM ET (6:30 PM IST). The conference will be live-streamed on the company’s official YouTube channel. Viewers can also opt to experience the event in the metaverse (Samsung 837X).

The South Korean electronics giant is expected to announce five products at this conference. But only two of them will be smartphones: Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4.

The company’s next-gen foldables are said to arrive with minor changes and a spec bump when compared to their predecessors. Also, Samsung may drop the ‘Z’ branding, and therefore, the devices could be simply called Galaxy Fold 4 and Galaxy Flip 4.

These handsets are expected to be accompanied by three accessories. Two of them will be smartwatches dubbed Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro. Whereas, the third one will be a pair of truly wireless earphones called Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.

Motorola Razr 2022, Moto Edge X30 Pro, and Moto S30 Pro

The Motorola event was originally scheduled for August 2 in China, however, it got postponed indefinitely. The company was supposed to announce three devices, namely Motorola Razr 2022, Moto Edge X30 Pro, and Moto S30 Pro.

The Lenovo-owned brand is yet to announce the new launch date. But as per JD (retailer), the first two phones may go on sale on August 11. This suggests that the event could either take place on or before the supposed sale date.

Talking about the handsets, the Motorola Razr 2022 is the company’s third-gen foldable smartphone. It will compete against the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. Further, the Moto Edge X30 Pro is the world’s first smartphone with a 200MP main camera. Finally, the Moto S30 Pro is a flagship killer smartphone.

OnePlus Ace Pro

The OnePlus Ace Pro was supposed to launch on August 3 in China. But its conference got postponed, just like Motorola’s. Anyway, the device went official in other markets in the form of OnePlus 10T as planned on the same day. It may now release in its home country next week at the earliest.

The only difference between the OnePlus Ace Pro and the OnePlus 10T is the software. The Chinese version of the handset boots ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12. While the global variant runs OxygenOS 12.1, which is basically a clone of ColorOS 12.1.

The main highlights of the phone include Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, a 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, up to 16GB RAM, 150W fast wired charging support, and an OIS-assisted 50MP Sony IMX766 primary camera.

Samsung’s much-awaited foldables– Galaxy Z-Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4—are expected to launch very soon as the devices have received NBTC certification. The South Korean tech giant has not revealed any information about the foldables. However, the rumor mill has been grinding their specifications into very fine pieces. Both the foldables are expected to be powered by Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC paired with 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage.

In the NBTC listing, first spotted by Sammobile, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 can be seen with model numbers SM-F721B and SM-F936B/DS, respectively. However, the NBTC listing does not reveal any information regarding the specifications or features of the upcoming foldables. Both Galaxy devices also bagged FCC certification a few days ago.

As mentioned, many key specifications of the foldables are already out. Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 are expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC clubbed with 8GB RAM, and up to 1TB storage.

Galaxy Flip 4 is likely to feature a 6.7-inch FullHD+ AMOLED display offering a refresh rate of 120Hz. The display may come with a center punched hole for a 10MP selfie camera. In addition, the outer AMOLED screen is expected to be 2.1-inch. The device will house dual rear cameras consisting of 12MP primary and 12MP ultrawide cameras. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is expected to be fueled by a 3,700 mAh battery with support for 25W wired and 10W wireless charging.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is rumored to have foldable and cover displays measuring 7.6-inch and 6.2-inch diagonally. The device is expected to be equipped with up to 1TB of internal storage and a 4400mAh battery.

Samsung has undoubtedly produced some of the best foldable smartphones on the market today, but like many other things, they are not perfect. The Korean company has bettered the hinge and the rest of the important aspects of its foldables. However, it is still having a tough time removing the “crease” from its foldables’ display. A new leak by a popular tipster reveals the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4’s main display will also have a visible crease running vertically along the hinge.

Tipster Ice Universe recently shared a side-by-side image on his Twitter handle showing us how the Galaxy Fold 4‘s crease compares to Fold 3‘s. As you can see in the image below, the display crease is still visible in the Fold 4, however, it’s not as prominent as in the previous-gen Fold 3.

Previously, it was rumored that the upcoming foldable would have a 20% less shallow crease. Samsung has definitely improved the crease and it’s less obvious now. But honestly, we expected Samsung to do better.

It’s not like the Display crease cannot be removed. Brands like Oppo and Motorola have already gotten a way around it. These Chinese companies have adopted a “teardrop” hinge that closes the hinge while creating more internal room for the hinge, which, as a result, decreases the crease and results in no gap in the hinge.

The crease on Samsung’s foldables is caused due to the company’s hinge design. It has a tight radius which makes it difficult to avoid the crease. However, as per reports, the Fold 4 has a new hinge design that uses fewer mechanical components. The hinge is said to be similar to Oppo and Motorola’s “Teardrop” hinge.

It is worth mentioning that the display crease is not much of an issue in the real world. You won’t really notice it in daily use.

Samsung has arguably the best wireless chargers in the market. The company has developed a wide range of portable wireless chargers that offer fast charging and can even be used to charge 2-3 devices simultaneously. And now a EUIPO trademark listing suggests that the tech giant is working on a new wireless charger, dubbed Samsung Wireless Charger+.

As initially spotted by tipster Mukul Sharma, Samsung has filed a trademark application for a new wireless charger known as Samsung Wireless Charger+ on the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) website. The Charger has been spotted with filling number 018713898. The trademark application has been accepted by the EUIPO meaning it has met the minimum filing requirements but it has not yet been assigned to an examiner.

Currently, only the moniker of the wireless Charger is confirmed and no other details are available. It is possible that the wireless charger could come in a flat-surface design like most of the previous models and it may support fast charging. However, it would be unwise to say anything this soon. We hope to learn more in the coming days.

In other news, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, Z Flip, and Watch 5 series launch date has been revealed by tipster Jon Prosser. As per the tipster, the aforementioned Galaxy devices will be unveiled on August 10.

Last week saw the arrival of the first images of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4. The CAD renders revealed that its design will be similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but it will be a shorter and wider device. It was found that the device would sport a designed camera unit with protruding cameras. Now, a fresh leak has revealed the camera configurations o the Z Fold 4.

According to reliable tipster Ice Universe, the triple camera unit of the Z Fold 4 will have a 50-megapixel primary camera. It will be accompanied by a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x zoom.

It appears that the Z Fold 4 may inherit the main and ultrawide snappers from the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus. The tipster claimed that it would come with the best 3x zoom camera ever seen on a Samsung phone. The leak suggests that the Z Fold 4 will offer an improved photography experience.

Coming to the other specs, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is expected a 6.2-inch cover display and a 7.6-inch internal display. Both displays are said to be shorter and wider than the previous generation. The internal display will have an in-screen camera, but its configuration is yet to be revealed. Also, there is no information on the front camera of the device. It remains to be seen to whether it will get the same 10-megapixel front camera and a 4-megapixel under-display camera.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1+chipset will likely power the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It may house a 4,400mAh battery. It is expected to support 25W fast charging, wireless and reverse wireless charging. The device will not feature a dedicate S Pen storage slot.

Now that the Galaxy S22 Ultra is out, Samsung’s next most anticipated smartphone is the Galaxy Z Fold 4. We have been hearing a lot about the handset for the past few years. Today, the phone’s design is finally out via renders from a reliable source.

Leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer who goes by @OnLeaks has partnered with Smartprix to share the renders of the Galaxy Z Fold 3’s successor. The pictures shared by the tipster showcase the device’s design in its entirety.

According to these images, the Galaxy Z Fold 4’s design will be inspired by the design of the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The next-gen foldable from Samsung will not be boxy in shape, albeit with curved corners. 

Most importantly, its triple camera setup on the rear will mimic that of Galaxy S22 Ultra’s. But unfortunately, it will still lack a silo for the S Pen stylus like its predecessor.

Further, the leaker says that the phone will flaunt a 7.6-inch main display and a 6.2-ich cover display. He also notes that the handset measures 155 x 130 x 7.1 mm and 158.2 x 128.1 x 6.4 mm when folded and unfolded respectively.

Per previous reports, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will arrive with a better 10MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom capability. However, it will retain the same 10MP selfie camera (cover screen) from its forerunner.

The device’s main screen is said to sport a 6:5 aspect ratio, whereas the external display is rumored to feature a 23:9 aspect ratio. Last but not least, the foldable smartphone is tipped to house a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus chipset and a 4,400mAh battery with support for 25W charging.

The rumor mill has started spilling information on the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 in bits and pieces. Last week, both models bagged approval from the 3C authority of China. Now, a reliable tipster has revealed the aspect ratio of both devices.

The Galaxy Z Fold3’s cover display and inner foldable screen offer 24.5:9 and 5:4 aspect ratios, respectively. According to Ice Universe, the Galaxy Z Fold4’s cover screen will offer a 23:9 aspect ratio, whereas its inner display will produce a 6:5 aspect ratio.

The new leak, which the tipster demonstrated through images, reveals that the Galaxy Z Fold4’s cover display will be wider than the Galaxy Z Fold4. In addition, the Z Fold4’s inner screen will also be shorter and wider as compared to its predecessor. Having wider displays onboard will allow the Galaxy foldable to offer a better experience while typing and watching videos.

The Z Fold3 features a 4,400mAh battery with 25W charging support. The tipster also revealed that the Z Fold4 will continue to house a 4,400mAh battery. The Z Fold4 was recently discovered with model number SM-F9360 in the 3C certification site’s database.

The listing suggested that the device may support 25W fast charging. It appears that the device will ship with an in-box charger in China. Like its predecessor, it is expected to carry support for wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.

The upgraded rear camera setup of the Galaxy Z Fold4 is expected to feature a 108-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. Its front may feature a 10-megapixel camera.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 Plus chipset is likely to power the Z Fold4. It is rumored to arrive with a single hinge design for better durability. It is still unclear whether the foldable phone will feature a dedicated slot for storing the stylus.

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.

Samsung is reportedly working on the Galaxy Z Fold4 foldable phone. Like last year, the company may unveil it in August this year. Rumors are rife that this year’s foldable phone from Samsung will accompany an S Pen stylus. A new leak has revealed that the S Pen for the Galaxy Z Fold4 has entered mass production.

It is speculated that the Galaxy Z Fold4 will be the first foldable smartphone to arrive with a dedicated slot for storing the stylus. Even if the device does not feature a storage slot, it is heavily rumored to carry support for S Pen. According to tipster Mukul Sharma, the serial production of the S Pen for the Galaxy Z Fold4 has begun in several European and Asian markets.

Last year, the rumor mill speculated that the Galaxy Z Fold3 would be the first Samsung foldable to support the S Pen stylus. While the S Pen Pro and the S Pen Fold Edition are compatible with the Galaxy Z Fold3, the regular S Pen does not work on the device. It is unclear whether the Galaxy Z Fold4 will carry support for the regular S Pen.

It was reported last month that Samsung could be working on a “Super UTG” for the Galaxy Z Fold4. It is expected to offer a stronger surface for using the S Pen. Hence, there is a possibility that the regular S Pen may work on the Z Fold4. It is advisable to wait for further reports to know whether the device will have a dedicated S Pen holster.

Previous reports have claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold4 will come with a single hinge design for better durability. It is also speculated to feature an upgraded camera system. The Z Fold4 is rumored to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset.

The Galaxy Z Fold series is Samsung’s most expensive consumer smartphone lineup. It offers cutting-edge foldable technology accompanied by productivity-focused software and durability. However, the device lacks a flagship-level camera system. The company wants to fix this in the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold4.

According to findings by GalaxyClub, the Galaxy Z Fold4 will arrive with an upgraded camera system. To be precise, it will sport a new telephoto unit.

The device will come with a 10MP sensor with a 3x optical zoom lens. Going by the specs, it appears to be the same one that’s found on all three Galaxy S22 models. For the unaware, the Galaxy Z Fold3 has an older 12MP 2x telephoto unit.

Further, the next-gen foldable’s cover display will retain the 10MP front-facing camera from its predecessor. This same sensor is also found on the Galaxy S22 and the Galaxy S22+.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about the Galaxy Z Fold4’s camera setup. However, GalaxyClub suggests that the phone could feature the same 50MP primary sensor and the 12MP ultra-wide unit from the non-Ultra Galaxy S22 models.

For comparison, the current-gen Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 has a 12MP (wide) + 12MP (ultra-wide) + 12MP (2x telephoto) triple rear camera system. There’s also a 10MP front-facing camera for the cover display and a 4MP under-display camera for the main foldable screen.
