This piece of information has come from a trustable tipster SnoopyTech. If it’s true and Samsung is removing the Z branding from its foldable phones in real, the forthcoming devices will be known as Galaxy Fold 4 and Galaxy Flip 4. Honestly, the new names sound good, aren’t they?

Even the first generation Galaxy foldable phone also didn’t have the ‘Z’ branding, it was known as Galaxy Fold. The company has introduced the ‘Z’ with its second-gen foldable phones – Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Galaxy Z Flip 5G. However, these sound big, and it’s nice that the company is planning to make the foldable names simpler.

The tipster further says that Samsung is doing so because the Russian military is using this letter. Actually, the letter Z has become the symbol of war for Russia and has been hand-painted on the country’s tanks and trucks. And, with this removal of Z from the foldable phone names, Samsung is trying to express its actions against Russia.
Samsung Electronics tries to get rid of the "Z" letter in their folding phone series. Starting with Flip/Fold 4, the letter won't be printed on the boxes anymore. That's because Russian military is using the letter.

Back in March this year, Samsung has already removed the Z moniker from the name of its foldable phones in some European markets including Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. However, the company hasn’t passed an official statement on this matter. At that time too, it was suspected that it was because of the Russia Ukraine war.
Anyway, what the real matter is, will be clear at the Galaxy Unpacked event to be held on August 10, where the company will present these two new foldable phones.

Samsung Galaxy A36 to feature a stunning 12MP selfie camera
Samsung Galaxy A36 is set to launch in early 2025, likely alongside the Galaxy A56. Ahead of the official release, several leaks and rumors have started to surface, revealing some of the phone’s key features and specs. While many details are still unknown, camera specifications for the Samsung Galaxy A36 have already been leaked, with a promising 12MP selfie camera.
According to the information via GalaxyClub, the Samsung Galaxy A36 will feature a 12MP sensor for the selfie camera, which is an upgrade from the 13MP sensor found in previous Galaxy A3x models.
This new front camera should provide better selfies and clearer video calls. It is expected to offer a noticeable improvement over older models. Notably, this front camera sensor is the same as expected in the higher-end Galaxy A56 smartphone.
Moreover, the company is reportedly going to continue the 50MP main camera setup from the current Galaxy A35 phone for the Galaxy A36.
However, the macro and ultrawide camera details for Galaxy A36 are still unclear. It’s possible these will remain the same as the A35, with a 5MP macro and an 8MP ultrawide camera, but we’ll have to wait for confirmation.
Aside from the camera, the Galaxy A36 is expected to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, likely either the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 or 7s Gen 2. It will also come with 6 GB of RAM and run on Android 15.
The Galaxy A36 will be a good choice in the budget smartphone market. Stay tuned for more details.

Samsung patent promises real-button feel on your Galaxy’s touchscreen!
Samsung is reportedly working on a new way to make your smartphone feel more interactive and responsive. A recent patent shows that Samsung is developing a system to improve haptic feedback.
The haptic feedback is the vibrations you feel when you touch your phone’s screen. The new patent, spotted by MSPowerUser, reveals a new technology that could make using your phone more immersive with improved haptic feedback, especially in everyday tasks and mobile gaming.
This new patent shows the plan to add multiple small vibration motors around the edges of the phone. These motors would work together with sensors that detect where and how hard you touch the screen.
When you touch the screen, the phone can send feedback directly to the area where your finger is. It gives you the sensation of pressing a real button, even on a phone with a large, smooth touchscreen.
This improved haptic feedback could make the smartphone feel more interactive and responsive. In everyday use, it could offer more accurate feedback when toggling settings, such as adjusting Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. It could also enhance the mobile gaming experience by providing rumble effects when firing a weapon.
Samsung has experimented with similar technology before. For example, the Galaxy S8 had a pressure-sensitive home button under the screen that allowed users to press firmly to go home, even when the phone was asleep.
Now, with this new patent, Samsung could take haptic feedback to the next level to offer a more detailed and responsive touch experience.
If Samsung brings this technology, it could set a new standard for haptic feedback on mobile devices by providing more r realistic and enjoyable interaction.
