Upgraded Performance for A Better Foldable Experience

Samsung is aware of the variety of scenarios in which people use their phones and the rising demand for performance. Samsung continues its barrier-defying innovation journey to deliver the level of durability consumers expect, both in and out. The Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 is equipped with Armor Aluminum and Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ for greatly enhanced durability. In addition, both devices are equipped with IPX8[1] water resistance for use in various scenarios. The foldables have passed the strenuous folding test[2], and can be used daily for up to 5 years. Both phones feature the best performance chipset among the Galaxy lineup, with the powerful Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1, for smoother operation. Samsung designed a Hideaway Hinge paired with enhanced Sweeper technology which has shorter bristles to repel dust within the hinge efficiently. It also keeps the phone slim, making it easier to carry around.

Galaxy Z Fold4
Upgraded Multi-Tasking – Best in Technology, Greatest in Life

The Galaxy Z Fold4 is the result of Samsung Galaxy’s enduring smartphone innovation, once again bringing users a new experience with the foldable. Furthermore, it is the first device to ship with Android 12, a special version of Android created by Google for large-screen experiences, including foldables, enabling the full benefits of a large screen. The Galaxy Z Fold4 also supports a number of new features to satisfy users in all aspects of their lives.

 

• A large screen with narrow bezels and lightweight materials - take Z Fold4 on the go:

  Content is even more immersive and distinctive on the 7.6-inch Main Screen[8] with a brighter screen, a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate[9], and a new scatter-type sub-pixel arrangement. The foldable also features a less visible Under Display Camera (UDC), which allows users to enjoy a full screen experience without the camera blocking the screen when watching videos. With a slimmer hinge, lighter weight, and even narrower bezels, the wider screen enables easier one-handed interactions while using the Cover Screen[10] in everyday life. The Galaxy Z Fold4 is available in Phantom Black, Beige and Graygreen. With its elegant color design, the phone serves as an all-round companion.

 

• Optimize the large screen and use it like a tablet:

  The Galaxy Z Fold4's foldable screen unfolds to become a tablet, enabling an enhanced user interface. The new Taskbar[11] provides a layout similar to PCs, offering access to favorite and recent apps via a shortcut bar at the bottom of the screen for enhanced convenience. Multitasking is also more intuitive, thanks to new swipe gestures[12]. Instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows or split your screen in half for more ways to multitask[13]. The multitasking experience is complete with S Pen[14] functionality, enabling on-the-go drawing, notetaking and screen capture for even more accessibility.
  

 

• Pro-grade camera and Nightography for best moments:

  The Galaxy Z Fold4 features a triple-camera design. With an upgraded 50MP wide camera and 30x Space Zoom[15] tele camera, it takes stunning photos and videos easily. And with the larger pixel size, a 23% brighter sensor[16], and enhanced processing power, users can capture clear images even at night. A variety of enhanced camera modes, including Capture View Mode, Dual Preview, and Rear Cam Selfie are custom-built to take advantage of the foldable screen for increased capturing flexibility in daily life.
  

 

• Third-party apps designed for the foldables:

  The foldable screen allows for viewing experience on a large display at any time. Samsung understands that the ratio of Main Screen is different to other phones. Samsung’s partnerships with Google and Microsoft have redesigned user interface and introduced new features, taking multitasking to the next level. Google apps, including Chrome and Gmail now support drag-and-drop, allowing users to quickly copy and paste links, photos and more from one app to another. With Google Meet, users can co-watch videos on YouTube or play games together on a video call[17]. Microsoft’s full Office suite and Outlook take advantage of the foldable display, providing more information on the screen and faster ways to interact with the content.

Recycled Materials for An Environmentally Friendly Vision

Since announcing Galaxy for the Planet vision in 2021, Samsung has worked diligently to create new ways to recycle and repurpose resources that would otherwise become harmful waste, minimize its environmental footprint and inspire innovation that helps preserve the planet. Samsung designed the new Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 with repurposed fishing nets, or ghost nets, that could otherwise end up in the ocean. In terms of eco-conscious packaging, Samsung has also reduced the volume of packaging for Galaxy Z Flip4 by 52.8% and for Galaxy Z Fold4 by 58.2% respectively compared to the first-generation Galaxy foldables. By reducing each device package’s surface area, Samsung ultimately reduces its environmental footprint in transporting these units by trucks, planes and ships.
