In August last year, Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G. It came with internal and external screens. At the same time, it was the company’s first smartphone to use an under-screen camera. The rest of its selling points include an S Pen stylus support and the IP8X-level waterproofing. Thus, this handset has been unprecedented in terms of used innovative technologies.
Other than that, its hinge adopts a subversive invisible design. So it can withstand 200,000 openings and closings. The phone also supports an adaptive split-screen mode that is fixed at multiple angles. Generally, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 has been attributed as one of the most powerful and the best phones on the globe.

Well, it is a stunning smartphone. But it’s a year-old model. So the Samsung fans (and not only they) want a new model. In its turn, Samsung doesn’t linger. The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is expected to be launched in August this year.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 To Come With Tons Of Improvements
Samsung Electronics plans to reduce the number of parts for smartphone hinges. Currently, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 uses two separate parts. However, the forthcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4 uses only one. With this change, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will be lighter and thinner than its predecessor. Plus, production costs are also expected to be lower due to the reduction in the number of parts.
Gizchina News of the week
Samsung is betting big on a new generation of foldable smartphones as it plans to produce 2.9 million Galaxy Z Fold 4 units this year, compared to just 1 million Galaxy Z Fold 3 units.
According to a new report from GalaxyClub, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 may inherit the camera of the Galaxy S22. For those unaware, the telephoto camera comes with a new 1/3.94-inch sensor with 10-megapixels and a 69mm focal length. This lens offers 3x optical zoom, a tab bit more than what the Galaxy Z Fold 3 has – 2x zoom. If so, it will significantly improve the quality of long-distance shooting.
At the same time, the under-screen camera of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is only 4 megapixels. So it doesn’t preserve many details in the photos. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is expected to use a 10-megapixel front camera.
Lastly, as for price, currently, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is up for grabs at $1049.99. But we have no hopes that the upcoming model will be able to keep this price. It should cost $100-$200 more.
