The Galaxy Z Fold 4 has arrived to take the place of its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in the market. But when you look at the previous and new versions you will find them the same or hardly find any difference. Then why should you purchase the new Galaxy foldable phone?
Although the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 look similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 at its first appearance, the new device comes with a number of welcome upgrades over the Galaxy Z Fold 3, and that too at a similar cost.

However, Samsung has a different reason for not increasing the price of the Fold 4 and that is to attract customers to the foldable phones. But we can take advantage of this and get the new Galaxy Fold at the same price as the old version.

What makes Fold 4 different from Fold 3?
Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Fold 4 with some notable upgrades over the Fold 3, among them I found key changes to the camera, display, and software.
Camera:
It’s hard to tell the Fold 4 apart from the previous generation from the back as both use the same pill-shaped triple camera. The new foldable features a larger 50MP rear camera compared to the 12MP one used on the previous model. Samsung says it helps in both detail and low-light performance.
Simultaneously, there’s a 3x telephoto camera, which is an upgrade from the older 2x zoom. This summarizes the 30x digital zoom versus the up to 20x you used to get earlier.
Display:
If you find the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 3 display similar, just on the screen and you will notice the differences. The cover screen of the new smartphone is wider. It’s a big improvement from the narrow screen that Fold 3 has.
This change has also affected the main screen. Although it is still 7.6 inches with the same diagonals on paper but it looks more squarish. This increases the actual viewing area and it is now better for web browsing, watching shows, etc.
Software:
With the Android 12L-based One UI 4.1.1, Samsung has added a few important tweaks to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 to make it the most mature foldable edition. The Taskbar feature is so amazing! It allows you to multitask better than any other smartphone.
Now you can instantly switch from full screen to split screen and pop-up view. When you open any app to use, the Taskbar automatically activates beside the navigation button at the bottom. You can easily switch between many apps that are already available in the Taskbar area, with just a tap.

Samsung is reportedly working on the development of the Galaxy S24 FE. Earlier this year, the company released the Galaxy S24 flagships, which are selling well globally. Now, the company has started work on its next budget flagship, with a release expected later this year.
GalaxyClub reports that Samsung is developing the Galaxy S24 FE with the R12 codename. The codename aligns with Samsung’s previous releases as the S20 FE was codenamed R8, the S21 FE was R9, the S23 FE was R11, and the R11 (S22 FE) was in development but hasn’t been released.
It was reported that Samsung might launch the S24 FE in the summer. As the development starts late, the release may be pushed to later this year, as testing and production aren’t finalized yet. The latest report also has no other details than the device’s codename.
Galaxy S23 FE has the hardware specs of the S22 series, however, the S24 FE might bring the latest. If it happens, we might see a price hike in the next budget flagship. New Galaxy AI features are also expected to debut with the S24 FE, before the S25 series launch next year.
Samsung is also working on an affordable Galaxy Z Fold 6, which would be the first Fan Edition foldable. Judging from the 2023 release strategy, it’s expected that the Galaxy S24 FE might launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold FE, new FE tablets.

The US variant of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 will be equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. There were reports that Samsung may expand the Exynos chipset to its foldable lineup, which doesn’t seem to be happening, at least in the United States.
Recently, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 US variant was spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon chip. It isn’t surprising as the company is following its conventional chipset strategy. We expect that it will be the same chipset used in the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy.
The Flip 6 smartphone scored 15084 points on Geekbench’s GPU test. Due to its foldable form factor, the device may miss a Galaxy S24-like larger cooling technology. Still, its impressive 15000+ points in the GPU test indicates that Samsung has greatly optimized the software.
The company still has three months remaining in the launch event. More performance improvements will likely be achieved before the Unpacked. The South Korean tech giant will likely unveil the next-gen foldable phones in mid-July.
This year, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra would join the standard Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Galaxy Z Flip 6. In addition, an affordable variant of Fan Edition branding is also in development. However, the cheaper foldable would miss some pro-grade specs to maintain the price.
