Description:
A leak has revealed possible details of both the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Flip 4.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

We hadnt heard much about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 , but thats now
changed, as a leak has detailed the screen sizes and a key feature namely that Samsungs upcoming foldable phone will apparently have a slot for the S Pen stylus.

Thats according to sources speaking to TheElec , and its a believable claim. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 already has stylus support, just without a slot for the S Pen, and with Samsung including such a slot on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra , theres a good chance it would do the same on the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

The leak also suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will have a
7.56-inch main screen and a 6.19-inch cover display. Those are functionally identical sizes to the Galaxy Z Fold 3s 7.6-inch main and 6.2-inch secondary screen.

The overall look of the two phones will apparently also be similar, with Samsung reportedly focused on improving durability rather than changing the design. Though of course the presence of an S Pen slot will mean a bit of a tweak.

The same sources also provided details of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 , which will apparently have a 6.7-inch main screen and a 1.9-inch cover display. Thats much the same as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 , so dont expect big
design changes here either.

Finally, the sources say that these two upcoming foldables will land at the same time, as wed have expected. August would mark a year from the announcement of the current models, so that month looks most likely.

While this is the first report of an S Pen slot being included in the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, wed think the claim is probably accurate.

It would make sense for this phone to follow the same trajectory as the
Galaxy S Ultra range, which went from S Pen support last year to a slot this year. But if anything, Samsungs large screen foldables are an even better fit for a stylus.

The expansive display of a Galaxy Z Fold makes it ideal for sketching and note-taking in a way that even a large conventional smartphone cant quite match. So the S Pen is the perfect companion, and a slot for it is a near-essential feature, since otherwise youre liable to lose it (unless you invest in a case with a slot).

So it was disappointing when the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 didnt have an S Pen slot, but hopefully Samsung will remedy its mistake with the Z Fold 4. Read our hands-on Samsung Galaxy S22 review
