Samsung dominates the folding market with two different models a year: the new Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4.

Samsung doesn’t stop, and this bold move takes it to a leading market that, even though it’s not a consolidated trend, continues to be constantly explored: foldable phones. For more than 3 years, the South Korean firm has been challenging the rest of its competitors. in his footsteps, two different models are produced each year. There is no other brand in the world that does this. D Samsung raise that bet again with new Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4.

Introduced in a hybrid version in New York, the brand’s foldable phones have managed to continually evolve, taking measurements in certain places and polishing the details of elements that needed more attention in this 2022 version: autonomy and cameras. Let’s detail these improvements.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4: smaller and more powerful

First, the Z Flip 4 is a little thinner. We find a team that reduces the previous model by a few millimeters both in thickness and length. This reduction, however, does not affect the size of the screens, since the size of the borders is optimized.

The hinge is improved over the previous generation, but not radically. It’s more comfortable, more compatible, and retains the ruggedness of the 2021 version, but loses size to make way for a more defined design. The 6.7-inch 2x dynamic AMOLED screen remains in FullHD+ resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is an exact replica of the previous version.

The 1.9-inch external screen is no different either, but it adds value with features such as home automation control via Smart Things, a quick contact list, quick replies from this messaging and mail apps panel, vertical photos from the phone closed and other news.

The new heart of the Z Flip 4 is Snapdragon 8 plus 1st generation power Qualcomma rate that will become frequent in this sector of the market thanks to a recent agreement signed by both companies and announced by Qualcomm CEO Christiano Amon.

With this new processor and 8 GB of RAM enhancing the user experience, better autonomy is also possible. This edition includes a 3700 mAh battery, which is 400 mAh more than the edition. Flip 3. Wireless charging is supported and compatibility with 25W systems is included.

Although the wide-angle lens Z flip 4 they remain in the same metrics as the previous model, the main lens changes from 1.4 microns to 1.8 microns, and they include the “Night Scene” algorithm that debuted in the line. Galaxy S22 introduced at the beginning of the year and optimizing night shooting.

New Galaxy ZFlip 4 It will be available (at least in the US) from August 26th starting at $999 in the base configuration with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: a great bet on details

The one with the most complete adjustments was the “big brother” of the Z family: Fold 4. In this case, the hinge and edges have lost measures to give the screens visibility: an outer one that increases in width for finger comfort, and an inner one that reduces the edges by 3 millimeters.

Another turning point are the cameras, which greatly improve the 2021 model’s offering: a 50 MP main sensor with Night shooting12MP wide angle lens and 10MP telephoto lens providing 30x digital zoom and 3x optical zoom.

Although it uses a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, it does not increase in battery life and retains its 4400 mAh compared to the Z Fold 3, and does not change the amount of memory or RAM.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 It will also have an official launch date of August 26, starting at $1,799 with a base configuration of 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.

Samsung showed that this trend is useless if it does not adapt to the user, and this fourth generation of Z Fold and Z Flip was able to respond to demand in less than 3 years. With this UNPACKED, Samsung It doesn’t just lead the foldable phone market: it defines and transforms it.
