Samsung Unpacked live blog: Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Watch 5, and more

Samsung has made a big deal on cameras in the past year or two, so we expect that to continue with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. The Fold needs better camera hardware to help justify its potentially higher price and the Flip needs some work on software and night photography. .

Fortunately, Samsung has come a long way recently. We don’t expect the Galaxy Z Fold 4 or the Galaxy Z Flip 4 to make it to our list of The best camera phonesBut the Korean phone maker may surprise us this year.

Then there’s the Galaxy Z Flip 4, which has plenty of room to grow. First and foremost on our mind (again) is the battery life. in Tom’s guide Battery life test, Galaxy Z Flip 3 Can’t even manage 6 hours, logged in at 5 hours 43 minutes. this is very sad.

We expect a bigger battery this year, as well as a more energy efficient battery Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1. Hopefully, both of these combined will make the Galaxy Z Flip 4 a long-lasting device.

Where does the Galaxy Z Fold 4 need to improve? Galaxy Z Fold 3? The first thing that comes to mind is battery life. in our area Dedicated battery life test, Galaxy Z Fold 3 I barely managed 7 hours and 52 seconds. The average for smartphones is 10 hours.

Durability remains a concern for foldable devices, so hopefully, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will be more durable this time around. We also want to see improved camera hardware; It would be nice if the Galaxy Z Fold 4 were at least at a level similar to Galaxy S22 Ultra.

What about the Galaxy Z Flip 4? There is a leak for that too. Notable specs include a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a resolution of 2640 x 1080, a density of 425 pixels per inch, and a refresh rate of 120 Hz. These are the same specifications as the Galaxy Z Flip 3, but from the images it appears that the bezels around the display may be thinner.

The 1.9-inch external display is expected to come again, with a resolution of 512 x 260. For durability, it looks like Gorilla Glass Victus Plus will be used on the cover panel. The Galaxy Z Flip 4’s battery is set to be a 3,700mAh cell (up from 3,300mAh on the Flip 3).

So what do we know about the Galaxy Z Fold 4? Well, thanks to a lot of last minute leaks, quite a lot. We fully expect the foldable device to use the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor (let’s say it’s five times faster) and we’ve heard of a new 50MP main camera. But the Amazon leaked list It gave us some measurements, 155.1 x 67.1 x 15.8 mm (or 6.1 x 2.64 x 0.62 in) when folded (130.1 mm or 5.1 in when unfolded).

The Galaxy Z Fold 4’s 6.2-inch front screen is listed, the same as last year’s, but the aspect ratio is 23.1:9 (slightly larger than the Z Fold 3) and the main 7.6-inch screen is 21.6:18. It’s said. Both tablets have a refresh rate of 120Hz.
