for many of us the galaxy z4 was a significant step in the right direction for the world of
foldable phones but it did leave me wanting just a little bit more from it now though rumors of
the upcoming galaxy z fold 4 have started to roll out and we can get a glimpse of what we can expect
from samsung's next big foldable phone let's see what we know so far so i'd like to be honest and
not waste your time there are very few if any at all actual images of the galaxy z fold 4. what
we do have though is a patent filed by samsung showing off a dual under display fingerprint
reader now although this is technically official info there's no guarantee that this will actually
come to fruition but it does give us an insight into the ideas samsung are currently playing with
and what could possibly come to the z-fold 4. personally i do think this is something that is
very likely to happen on the z-fold 4. i think the addition of an under-display fingerprint reader
would be really handy here it was something that i kind of missed on my note 10 when i moved to the
z-fold 3. so that brings us on to the question of the day do you prefer an under display fingerprint
reader or a physical one on the side of the phone much like we have on the z43 let me know
down below in amongst other design changes rumored to be coming to the galaxy z4 we've got updates
coming to the hinge apparently it's going to be made much more durable overall with water
resistance and most importantly dust resistance and now this is something as we all know that was
missing on the z43 and i think likely put a lot of people off when you're paying so much money for
this fancy folding phone which is quite new technology i think a little thing like dust
resistance would really put people off buying the phone now with the addition of dust resistance
to the zfo4 i reckon samsung can expect to sell a lot more z-fold 4 units and bring a bit more trust
into the foldable market one of the most prominent leaks though is they change to the display size
is rumored that the cover display will be slightly wider but only by a few millimeters
whilst the inner display will likely lose a couple overall though i expect this to be a very similar
size to the current z43 i am sort of hoping for a bit of a wider cover display i think the z43
is very much usable at the moment but it can still be a little bit awkward to type on now again there
is nothing concrete at the moment but there is a lot of chatter about the s pen apparently the
z fold four will come with an inbuilt s pen much like we have on the note series and the new s22
ultra it's also rumored to be bringing support for the cover display as well which
is something i picked up on on my review this was something that was missing from the z-fold three
this is one of those changes that just makes sense for a productivity powerhouse of a phone
like the z-fold three and the z-fold four and i thought it was a really big shame that z-fold
three did not have an inbuilt s-pen so again do take it with a pinch of salt but we can be hopeful
for an inbuilt s-pen with the z-fold 4. now moving on to the important part cameras now i can't
really tell if this is just speculation or if there are genuine rumors and leaks flying around
stating that the z-fold 4 will come with s22 cameras or something similar in addition to this
we're also going to get under display cameras on both the cover and in the displays which
supposedly will be less visible and work a bit better than ones we currently have on the z43
again though i personally couldn't find anything to verify these leaks or rumors so again as always
do take everything in this video with a pinch of salt but as i said with some of the other changes
i do think this is one of the changes that will really help sell the future z-fold for if they
can actually make it happen moving on let's talk about price now of course again there is nothing
set in stone but samsung have said that they will be mass producing their foldable phones with a big
focus on them for 2022 meaning that it's almost a guarantee that the price will come down slightly
samsung will be aiming for 2.9 million units of the z-fold 4 and 6.9 million units of the z-flip 4
which apparently remains their main focus for comparison samsung said they will make
11 million units of the s22 ultra so although there is a focus on affordable phones the z
fold 4 remains in a very niche part of the market at the moment despite their efforts to ramp up
production for their foldable phones release date wise again all speculation at this point but we
could assume to see it on the shelves mid to late september and we could possibly get a glimpse of
the zfo4 at one of samsung's unpacked events later on in the year and i will of course cover that
when the news does drop one thing that is almost a guarantee with the release of the zfo4 is that the
z follow three prices will come crashing down so if you are on the fence about a z full three you
can check out my updated 2022 review over on the right hand side also if you already own a folding
phone you can check out my new apps video over on the right hand side as well for now though this
has been tech it easy i've been alex thank you so much for watching and i'll see you in the next one
