While the FCC listing doesn’t reveal much about the device, it shows that the smartphone will come with support for all sorts of networks, ranging from 2G to mmWave 5G. The Wi-Fi model will also get an upgrade bringing ax support. The FCC listing equally reveals the device will come with support for S Pen just like the Galaxy Z Fold 3.

Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 4 alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 4 on August 4 but there is no official confirmation to that effect. If the space of certification, rumors, and leaks are anything to go by, there is no doubt that the launch is imminent. Aside from the FCC certification, the Z Fold 4 was recently spotted on GeekBench. Mock-up cases for both the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 were put up for pre-orders recently, further confirming that the launch is close by.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset paired with 12GB of RAM. The phone will also come with up to 1TB of storage while it will cram a 4,400mAh battery under the hood.

Earlier on, there were rumors that the Fold 4 will have a less-prominent crease than the fold 3 as well as a better camera setup. We expect the company to reveal the launch details soon.

While this isn’t a surprise, what’s actually is, is the debut of a third foldable phone. The tipster says that Samsung is all set to release a third foldable phone. It will most likely be a scroll screen phone and is reportedly codenamed “Diamond”.

Although key details of this third foldable device are unknown, the tipster reveals that the phone could be launched in H2 2022. This scroll device is expected to be a rollable phone.

Samsung has showcased some major designs of such rollable devices in the past. This new scroll screen phone could employ a design from one of the company’s uncountable patents. Samsung is already strong in its display segment and is already pioneering in the same. However, there are a lot of challenges that the company could face with this technology. Now it remains to be seen, what actually do we see from the company later this year.

To recall, Oppo had showcased a prototype of a rollable/scroll screen phone back in 2020. The device is yet to be commercialized. In fact, no scrollable phone is yet commercial and selling successfully in the market. The upcoming Samsung scroll phone could be the new commercial rollable phone, who knows?

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 rumored to support regular S Pen & stronger display

A new leak has revealed some interesting information regarding the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4. Apparently, the next gen foldable phone will be arrive a stronger material for its display that will enable it to support regular S Pens.

Galaxy Z Fold4 Render Leak

According to Naver, the Galaxy Z Fold4 will arrive with a more durable version of Ultra Thin Glass (UTG), which could be marketed as the Super UTG. Furthermore, the South Korean tech giant is also planning on bringing support for regular S Pens that won’t damage the display panel, because of this change. For those unaware, the Galaxy Z Fold3 was not strong enough to properly support the regular version of S Pen without possibly damaging the display.

Thus, the brand had to introduce the S Pen Fold Edition, which had retractable tip. But now, it seems that the next gen version of the Galaxy Fold will support the regular version thanks to the strong UTG. Notably, the news came from someone claiming to work for Samsung’s domestic supply chain. So take this information with a pinch of salt for now. Although, while the UTG is flexible and proved to be reliable, the company must have realized that it needs to be more durable.

Thanks to the new Super UTG, many issues related to Galaxy Fold devices cracking will likely be addressed. Recently, a few users of Reddits have come forward with their damaged Galaxy Z Fold3. They stated that the screen cracked without any reason but the company refused to fix them claiming that they were caused by external factors. So, the new UTG might be the answer to solving this issue on next gen foldable phones.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is getting an S Pen slot: Report

Sudhanshu — Tue, 15 Feb 2022 16:37:01 +0000

Samsung‘s latest launch event unveiled the Galaxy S22 Ultra which came with the much loved S Pen that was popularized by their iconic Galaxy Note series devices. But it appears that Samsung is not planning to keep the S Pen exclusive to the S22 Ultra as a recent report stated that the next Samsung foldable will also be getting a dedicated S Pen.

According to a report from TheElec, industry sources have informed that the South-Korean tech giant has decided to install an S Pen stylus in its upcoming foldable, dubbed the Galaxy Z Fold4. The device is also said to launch in the second half of 2022.

The current Galaxy Z Fold3 also offers support for S Pen Fold Edition and the S Pen Pro, however, the stylus needs to be bought separately and the device does not feature a dedicated silo to house the stylus inside its body. Galaxy Z Fold3 users usually install a back cover to their device to house the stylus on the outside.

Recent reports have revealed that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 outsold the Galaxy Z Fold3. With the integration of the S Pen inside the device’s body, Samsung is hoping to make it the spotlight feature of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold4, driving up its sales numbers compared to the current model.

Other than that, the Galaxy Z Fold4 is expected to not come with any major design changes compared to the Z Fold3. The report has stated that the Galaxy Z Fold4 will have a 7.56-inch inner foldable display, while the external display is reported to measure around 6.19-inches. Readers can also check out the recently surfaced concept renders of the Galaxy Z Fold4 device.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 concept renders are here with S22 Ultra-inspired designs

Zohaib Ahmed — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 08:02:29 +0000

With new entrants like Huawei and OPPO, the competition in the foldable smartphones game sure is warming up. Samsung is the king of the hill no more, thanks to offerings like the OPPO Find N that sport more modern designs and also solve the crease problem to a degree. But the Korean company is reportedly already working on a sequel to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold3 — and fans are going big on expectations.

A couple of prominent smartphone concept creators just dropped their own takes on what the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 could look like, although both their renders look to be heavily inspired by the Galaxy S22 Ultra. The S22 Ultra is Samsung’s latest ‘superphone’ and comes with absolute top-of-the-line specs. It would therefore make sense for the Fold4 to inherit a similar design since it also is an ultra-premium flagship offering.

Ben Geskin’s Z Fold4 concept render retains the same form-factor as the device’s predecessor, with a narrow external display paired with a rectangular inner screen. The camera module has been changed completely though. The Galaxy Z Fold3 featured a single camera island housing three cameras and a flash, but the Z Fold4 render shows a camera system that looks almost identical to the S22 Ultra.

Apple Lab’s concept render looks very similar but goes for three rear shooters instead of four on the one from Ben. It also depicts three color options — black, white, and lavender.

Do keep in mind that Samsung is yet to provide any clues as to what the next iteration of its flagship foldable offering will look like, so the above renders are purely imagination-based. It is hence advisable to take them with a pinch of salt.

According to previous reports, the Galaxy Z Fold4 is expected to go live around Q3 2022. Not much is known about the device at the moment but tipsters have revealed that it will bring camera improvements, among other things.

Galaxy Z Fold4 may not feature an S Pen slot: Report

Sudhanshu — Sat, 20 Nov 2021 15:18:37 +0000

According to previous reports, Samsung is gearing up to launch their next-gen Fold4 around Q3 of 2022 with improved cameras. And now, more leaks have surfaced, with the latest one claiming the smartphone won’t feature a dedicated slot for the S Pen.

As per tipster Lanzuk, it appears that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold4, like its predecessor, may not feature an S Pen slot. The phone will still support a stylus but you may need a back cover to hold the S Pen like the current Galaxy Z Fold3.

The tipster previously reported that the Galaxy Z Fold4 will come with an improved Under display camera (UDC) on both the internal and external screens. The overall primary camera setup is also getting an upgrade to bring the Galaxy Z Fold4 on par with the camera quality offered by the current flagship in the market.

The rumored foldable smartphone is also expected to feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen1 (Snapdragon 898), with the same screen size and battery size (4,400mHz). The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 may also have a lower starting price.

With the tipped launch date being nine months away, it is still too early to tell what features the phone may or may not hold. So we advise all our readers to take these leaks with a pinch of salt.
