Introduction

The “Galaxy Unpacked” event from Samsung is planned for August 10. The tech juggernaut is anticipated to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 4 smartphone and the Galaxy Watch 5 series. The Galaxy Z Flip 3 was a success last year thanks to its reasonable price and appealing design, and the firm intends to "double down" on that with the Flip 4 this year. Though there are still some uncertainties around what Samsung is purportedly planning, we are discovering more about the next inexpensive Galaxy Z foldable. Like its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 might alter the game in terms of battery life and durability. We have compiled what we've heard about and what we hope to see from the Galaxy Z Flip 4 for it to rank among the finest foldable phones.

Samsung Z Flip 4 Design

Samsung seems to have pioneered the foldable phone form factor. Samsung looks happy with the design of Z Flip 3 as Galaxy Z Flip 4 looks identical to the existing model. A new hinge for the Z Flip 4 might result in a thinner phone. Though the alleged reports show that the larger Fold will gain more from this since it will make Samsung's foldable more accessible.

Reports and leaks show that the phone comes bearing the same vertically stacked dual camera setup on the back, a secondary screen, and an inner display with a centred punch hole. However, the dimensions of the device have changed a bit as the Z Flip 4 will feature a 6.7-inch. Z Flip 4 is rumoured to be lighter than Z Flip 3. According to reports, the Z Flip 4 will be available in Graphite, Bora Purple, Pink Gold, and Blue colours. Samsung is also rumoured to propose a Bespoke Edition model with a variety of customization possibilities.

Z Flip 4 Specs we know so far

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 could be a game-changer as Samsung had a lot of room for improvement from last year’s Z Flip 3. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is believed to be a more affordable entry point into Samsung’s foldable universe. However, this has not led the smartphone giant to compromise the specs. Initial leaks and rumours have helped us paint an impressive picture for the upcoming foldable by Samsung.

Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 Chipset

The latest and most powerful yet by Snapdragon: The 2022 Samsung foldable will supposedly run on the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. This upgraded processor by Qualcomm promises a 30% efficiency boost and 20% performance gains over the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC that runs the Galaxy S22 series. Qualcomm's latest silicon in Samsung Z Flip 4 will set benchmark performance for upcoming foldables by competitors.

50 Mp triple camera set up

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 will come with the same set of cameras as the Z Flip 3. However, everyone is expecting several camera improvements. Due to the new chipset the Flip 4 could support new camera features to the Flip series, alongside better photo and video quality. As per reports, the Z Flip 4 would come with the same 12MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide, and 10 MP selfie snapper as that of its predecessor. Some rumours also suggested that we might see a triple camera set up on the new Z Flip 4. Although, not much is known about the triple camera arrangement as of now.

4400 mAh battery and charging tech

With the boost in overall efficiency and performance, we are also expecting a better battery in the Z Flip 4. Some reports claim that the phone will have a 3,700 mAh battery. That makes for an increase of 400mAh compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 3. The Z Flip 4 foldable will also support 25W charging which has also increased compared to the 15W tech on the previous model. Samsung identified that Z Flip 3 suffered in the market due to its battery life, and they have tried to do better with Z Flip 4.

Samsung Z Flip 4 display

The Z Flip 4 is said to have a familiar size and shape, with a larger outer display size. It will feature a 6.7 inch 120Hz OLED screen display and measure around 6.5 x 2.83 x 0.28 inches. Rumours also suggest that the crease in the Galaxy Z Flip 4's display will be much less visible. This will possibly solve one of the biggest complaints people have about foldable phones. Z Flip 4 could also see a redesigned and gapless hinge which will make the smartphone look slimmer. We can also expect flat edges and maybe a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.

Release date and price of Samsung Galaxy Z flip 4 in Australia

We do not have any confirmed information on the Z Flip 4, so for directions, we will have to refer to the prior price. The decrease in price between the first and second generations was most likely brought on by falling production costs. Like any first-generation device, getting the newest technology usually comes at a premium price. However, Samsung has constantly been trying to reduce the cost factor and quote catchy prices.

According to the reports, the phone will cost AUD 1578 for 128GB of storage, AUD 1695 for 256GB, and AUD 1870 for a brand-new 512GB version. Samsung has confirmed that we will be seeing the Z Flip 4 officially on 10th August 2022. We can expect the smartphone to be available for purchase by the end of the month.

Conclusion

From battery life to durability, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 could be a game-changer like its predecessor. According to the rumours, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 will have internal advancements more so than aesthetic changes. It sounds like the processor and battery will get a boost, and a comparable, if possibly more refined, design is anticipated. It is currently unknown whether the Z Flip 4 will choose an under-display camera, a larger cover display, or other camera changes.
