The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is a long way off yet, but we already know what we want from it.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is the best foldable phone yet, and price aside, is one that we can recommend without any real hesitation. That said, it’s still not quite the perfect foldable phone, so we’ve come up with a list of things that we want to see from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 to make that handset even better. You’ll find all of those below, and we’ll also be using this article to keep you up to date on any news and rumors as soon as they emerge. As you’d expect, it’s all quiet on the Z Fold 4 front so far, but we imagine leaks will start trickling out in the coming weeks and months, and we’ll add them all here. You’ll also find information on the likely release date and price here, as while neither have leaked, we can take an educated guess at both. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will probably be announced in August 2022, with a release either later in the month or in early September. We say that because both the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 were announced in August of their release years, hitting stores at least several weeks later. However, as there aren’t any release date rumors yet we can’t be certain Samsung will stick to that schedule, especially as the original Samsung Galaxy Fold was unveiled in February 2019. Though that didn’t actually hit stores until September either, so we’d say an August announcement is very likely. The price is something we can only really guess at for now, but the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 starts at $1,799 / £1,599 / AU$2,499. That’s actually slightly less than the previous model cost, and given that Samsung’s foldables are almost always criticized for their prices, we’d think the Z Fold 4 will either have a similar price or be slightly more affordable, in order to head off criticism.
