Samsung has unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy Z Fold 4, a device that centers on a foldable display and innovative hinge technology. Socialbites.ca learned of the announcement from the official Galaxy Unpacked broadcast on YouTube, presenting a clear view of Samsung’s pursuit of premium flexibility and productivity on a single device.
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 showcases a generous 7.6-inch main AMOLED display with a resolution of 1812 x 2176 pixels and a refresh rate that reaches 120 Hz, along with HDR10+ support for richer color and contrast. A standout element is the redesigned hinge mechanism, engineered to reduce the visibility of the seam when the device is folded, offering a smoother a seamless folding experience compared to earlier models in the line.
On the exterior, the device carries a 6.2-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 904 x 2316 pixels and a maximum 120 Hz refresh rate, though it does not include HDR10+ in this panel. The secondary display remains highly responsive, ensuring quick interactions even when the device is closed and compact in hand.
Performance mirrors that of the Galaxy Z Flip 4, powered by a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. The Fold 4 doubles the RAM to 12 GB compared to the base configuration, and storage options begin at 256 GB, with configurations up to 512 GB and 1 TB. A 4400 mAh battery drives the device, supporting fast charging up to 25 watts to keep it ready for intensive multitasking and streaming across its dual-screen form factor.
The camera system has been upgraded to keep pace with high-end expectations. The setup includes a 50-megapixel main camera, a 10-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide module. The front camera on the outer display is a 10-megapixel sensor, while a 4-megapixel selfie camera sits beneath the main screen to preserve a more expansive viewing area. Samsung states that an advanced pixel grid design helps render the lower-located lens more inconspicuous when the device is used in its folded state.
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is scheduled to go on sale on August 26, with pricing starting at $1,799. The device continues Samsung’s strategy of blending premium productivity features with cutting-edge foldable technology, appealing to users who want to switch seamlessly between a compact phone and a large workhorse tablet in a single device. This approach positions the Fold 4 as a strong contender in markets across North America, including Canada and the United States, where demand for versatile flagship devices remains robust. The phone’s launch has sparked renewed interest in foldables as a practical alternative for professionals and power users seeking efficiency on the go.
