Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 Official With 3 Years Of Advantage
Enjoy the benefit of three years. On the day of the official release of its new folding smartphones, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, specifically the fourth generation, Samsung can only accomplish this.
Since Samsung’s Galaxy Fold, the first truly foldable smartphone with widespread commercial distribution, was introduced to the market in the middle of 2019. Z Flip will soon be added to the list with a smaller form factor.
It is probably for this reason, in addition to the attempt not to raise an already very high price in a 2022 of “fire”, that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is absolutely in the name of continuity. A product that at first glance is difficult to distinguish from the previous year’s model, but which still has its own significant updates.

As you can see, it is therefore once again a true premium smartphone that maintains some of the most appreciated features of previous generations, such as a huge internal screen that makes it compete with the tablet world, support for the S Pen, waterproofing, wireless charging support and the camera under the front display.
Starting from the latter, the company has increased the pixel density above the sensor thus making the display yield even better, while leaving the sensor for selfies and video calls by only 4 megapixels. Overall, the format of the product changes, both from closed and open, is a little wider and slightly lower, especially we believe in improving the convenience of use of the external screen, one of the critical issues of the previous model. From our quick preview test it’s hard to tell if there’s really an appreciable difference in everyday use. The first impression would push us to say the opposite.
From a hardware point of view, the real novelty is certainly the new optically stabilized 50-megapixel ƒ/1.8 main sensor, inherited from the S22 family. We will find out in the review if it keeps its promises in terms of yield.
All the other news told by Samsung are software and therefore we cannot yet express ourselves on the rendering of the fold of the display, one of the most popular questions by our readers. From our brief test, however, we can say that we immediately noticed a fluidity that we had not noticed on previous models. We therefore have good hopes for the overall performance of this new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, which we have already appreciated on other models as well.
Following the successful launch of the Galaxy S24 flagship device, several rumors have started circulating on the internet. Now, according to the latest development, there is a new listing coming in the highlight, which means the phone is under development and will be available on the market soon.
Some reports suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE, currently under development under the code name R12, could make its market debut in late 2024. Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S24 FE will initially be available in limited markets before potentially launching globally in 2024.
The Internet has also surfaced some rumored specs of the S24 FE, revealing several details about the device, including a 6.1-inch AMOLED display, 128 GB and 256 GB of RAM, and 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM. It might have a 4500 mAh battery for power backup.
Samsung hasn’t officially revealed anything about the Galaxy S24 FE’s features or release date yet. However, a listing in a UK carrier database suggests this phone – known for offering flagship specs at a lower price – is coming soon.
Samsung Galaxy devices come with numerous customizable applications that offer a multitude of options, enabling users to easily customize the UI elements and participate in the Galaxy ecosystem. Among the many modules available, the Lockstar module offers the ability to customize the lock screen.
With the lockstar module, users get some additional options to customize the lock screen and AOD of the Galaxy smartphone and tablet. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide the AOD-related customization feature for the Galaxy S24 yet, but now there is good news for the users as the company has confirmed to provide some additional settings for managing the Always on Display screen.
According to the information, some Galaxy S24 users in Korea have made numerous complaints and demanded some customizability of AOD through Lockstar. However, it is unclear if these changes will be implemented through the next application update or in a different way. However, the Good Lock support team has confirmed that they are actively working on this issue.
If we talk about the AOD customization option available on other devices, you can change the color and style of the clock and other elements, and you can also manage the brightness of the AOD manually.
Samsung ritually went with the fun and vibrant color option for its Galaxy Z Flip series, and this time also the brand could stay on the same strategy for its forthcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6—recent rumors revealing plenty of details regarding the sixth-generation Galaxy Z Foldable.
Samsung is gearing up to introduce the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 foldable at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July. These devices have also been spotted on the 3C certification website, which points to an unchanged battery charging speed.
Now the Display Supply Chain Consultant, Ross Young, has revealed the color and storage variants of the upcoming foldable phones. If the reports are to be believed, Samsung could offer seven color choices for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, which are as follows:
- Crafted in black, light blue, mint, peach, silver shadow, white, and yellow.
The executive stated that the light green and silver shades will be marketed as mint and silver shadow. However, these color variants are already found on the Galaxy Z Flip 5. It will be interesting to see whether Samsung will adopt a darker or lighter hue on the Flip 6.
The Crafted Black, Peach, and White choices are expected to be available in specific regions or in limited quantities. Notably, the lavender/purple color, which has been a staple on the Z Flips, is missing. Jumping on the Galaxy Z Fold 6, so the color options are still similar as previously reported. But here’s the catchable fact: Dark Blue will be marketed as Navy and Silver as Silver Shadow. A new light pink has also appeared, along with low-volume colors like black and white.
Apart from the color options, the reports also revealed that Samsung could continue to offer the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Fold 6 in two variants based on storage:
- 256 GB and 512 GB storage options.
