Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

Samsung's popular foldable series enters its fourth generation with the Galaxy Z Fold 4. As a customer, you will benefit from a better display-to-case ratio and a significant performance boost. On this overview page, we summarize all important information about the Z Fold 4. This includes all colors, the price of all models, and of course the sales launch of the noble smartphone.

Samsung presented the Galaxy Z Fold 4 together with the Z Flip 4 at the Unpacked event in late summer. The Galaxy Watch 5 (Pro) and the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro in-ear headphones were also present. Here we continue with the Z Fold 4 in the following paragraphs:

Price and offers: How to buy the Z Fold 4

Short and sweet: the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will go on sale on August 26, 2022, at prices starting at $1,799. However, the smartphone is already available for pre-order directly after the Galaxy Unpacked event on August 10. If you want to buy it, you first have to decide on a model:

If these prices are too high for a one-time purchase, you can also opt for a contract. You will probably have to pay a down payment, and the remaining costs can be paid monthly.

All colors of the Galaxy Z Fold 4

Once financing and model selection are off the table, you only have to decide on a color. All color variants differ slightly from those of the predecessor series. Samsung draws attention to this with new names—you have to choose between Graygreen, Phantom Black, Beige and the online shop-exclusive color Burgundy for the Z Fold 4.

Cases and accessories for the Z Fold 4

Although the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 can be folded, there will be phone cases for the smartphone. These will be sold by Samsung itself, as well as by third-party vendors at lower prices. As soon as we find Z Fold 4 cases for you, we will add them in this paragraph.

Of course, Samsung's other new launches come into question as further accessories. You can use the Z Fold 4 with the new Galaxy Watch 5 (Pro) as well as with the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. If you switch from an iPhone or an older phone to Samsung, you will also need a new charger that is compatible with Samsung phones.

Technical specifications of the Z Fold 4

For the technical data, you can find a rudimentary spec sheet on this page - or you can compare the specs of the Z Fold 4 with the features of its predecessor via our article. Alternatively, you can continue reading our short overview of the Fold's advantages here.

Opened up, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 offers a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with an under-display camera and adaptive refresh rate between 1 hertz and 120 hertz. When folded, you have to be content with only 6.2 inches, which also refreshes at up to 120 hertz.

The Z Fold 4 is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, the most powerful Android processor at launch. You can see the non-expandable storage variants further up in the article, but a maximum of 1 terabyte of internal storage and 12 gigabytes of internal storage are included.

Samsung has given the camera setup minor updates. The main camera now has a resolution of 50 megapixels, and telephoto and ultra-wide-angle cameras with 12 megapixels each are available as alternatives. For selfies, there is an under-display camera with 4 megapixels and a 10 MP camera on the closed front.

The battery capacity is 4,400 milliampere hours, which you can recharge with up to 25 watts. By the way, you can already read how all these features relate to each other in our hands-on of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.
