Even though Samsung’s next-gen foldable powerhouses have already been in the news a few times this past fall, last week’s Galaxy S22 family announcement means it’s officially open season on Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 leaks.
One more reason to forget about the Galaxy Note series
Galaxy Z Fold 3 with S Pen case
The same thing is now reportedly in the works for the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which means you probably won’t have to separately purchase the stylus and a special case designed to hold it close-by. Because getting a protective cover for your precious foldable is a must anyway, that may not sound like a big deal for many prospective buyers, but apparently, Samsung sees this as a major “selling point.”
It remains to be seen, of course, if the extra convenience of a built-in S Pen slot will come with added heft and/or an increased price over the Z Fold 3, although if the S22 Ultra is anything to go by, neither of those two things may prove to be true in the end.
Don’t expect any drastic screen size changes
That goes for both the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4, mind you, the latter of which is likely to snub the S Pen (in both its integrated and optional form), thus giving the undoubtedly costlier model the edge in productivity and creativity in addition to convenience.
The Z Flip 4’s cover display may or may not be noticeably larger than that of the Z Flip 3 (pictured here).
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 could look even more similar to its predecessor, with an ever-so-slightly larger 7.56-inch primary panel (up from 7.55 inches) and an ever-so-slightly smaller 6.19-inch external screen (down from 6.2 inches).
