What a thriving foldable lineup!

Samsung is enjoying an unopposed lead in the foldable market. Despite having several years to catch up, other smartphone brands haven’t closed the distance yet, leaving Samsung with a thriving foldable lineup. Today, the brand is looking to extend its lead further, launching the new Galaxy Z Flip4 and the Galaxy Z Fold4.

Galaxy Z Flip4

As expected, Samsung went all out for the new Galaxy Z Flip4. Featuring a slimmer hinge, the foldable device sparkles with a more refined design. Users can also customize their phones using Galaxy Themes for both the Cover and the Main Screen.

Underneath its 6.7-inch FHD+ screen (and 1.9-inch secondary screen), the Galaxy Z Flip4 sports the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage.

At its rear, the smartphone comes with two 12-megapixel rear cameras. While one acts as the main sensor, the other is for ultra-wide shots. In front, the device also comes with a 10-megapixel selfie shooter. Besides using the cameras individually, it also comes with FlexCam, a feature that will allow users to show photos and video hands-free. Users only need to unfold their device partially to access the feature.

And speaking of hands-free, the Galaxy Z Flip4 still lets users access their phones without unfolding their device through the Cover Screen.

For power, the foldable has a 3700mAh battery, which can reportedly charge to 50 percent in just 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold4 punches an even bigger oomph for power users. The foldable has a larger 7.6-inch main screen (and a 6.2-inch secondary screen), delivering 120Hz refresh rate and an under-display camera. Underneath, it has the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage.

The smartphone also has a triple rear camera consisting of a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera. There’s also a 4-megapixel under-display camera. Finally, in front, it has a 10-megapixel selfie camera.

For power, the device has a 4400mAh dual battery, compatible with Super Fast Charging. It can reportedly charge to 50 percent in just 30 minutes.

Pricing and availability

The Galaxy Z Flip4 will come in four colors: Bora Purple, Graphite, Pink Gold, and Blue. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold4 will come in Graygreen, Beige, and Phantom Black.

Both devices will start selling on August 26. The Galaxy Z Flip4 will start at US$ 999.99, and the Galaxy Z Fold4 will start at US$ 1,799.99.

Pre-orders are available starting today. Pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Flip4 will get a free memory upgrade, a Silicone Ring Case or Strap Case, and up to US$ 900 of trade-in value. Any Galaxy Z Fold4 pre-orders will get the same free memory upgrade, a Standing Cover with Pen case, and up to US$ 1,000 of trade-in value.
