While Samsung’s foldable devices are well-known by now and it’s widely accepted that they represent one of the blueprints for the future of smartphones. But how long until the next device will hit the shelves? According to the rumors floating online, you might not have to wait for too long – even better, the upcoming foldable will really be worth what is expected to be a hefty price tag.
It looks like the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will offer many improvements over its predecessors. That means a tougher screen, a newer processor, and maybe even an integrated S Pen.
We expect Samsung to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 4 in August or September 2022. It will launch with the Galaxy Z Flip 4 but it might also come accompanied by a yet unnamed smartphone. Pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will likely ship two weeks after the launch event. While there are no leaks to support an August or September release date, the previous three “Fold” phones have all launched in August or September and most large smartphone companies keep to their launch traditions.
We can expect some design changes, but not too many – after all, the foldable design is what sells the device. We can expect the Galaxy Z Fold 4 to have a stronger, more durable screen as well as improved protection against dust and water. The external display of the phone will most likely also see an improvement over the previous generation, as it has been the case with the first three.
