But did you know that the Galaxy Z Flip 3 was the best-selling foldable smartphone in 2021 and Q1 2022, with over 50% market share?
When writing, Galaxy Z Fold 3 and the Z Flip 3 are Samsung's two latest foldable offerings. However, after some weeks, that won’t be the case. The company is soon launching the new Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 for 2022.
For now, Samsung has only revealed the launch date of the Galaxy Z Flip 4. But that doesn’t stop the internet from getting filled with rumors and speculations about Samsung’s flippable smartphone.
In this post, we’ll go through all the rumors about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. Then, we’ll come up with the possible specs and features of the smartphone. So, let’s get started.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 will launch on August 10 alongside Galaxy Z Fold 4. Samsung has made the announcement in the form of a cryptic tweet, which, if you solve, will get the number 081022, referring to August 10, 2022.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Specifications and Features
Design
According to rumors, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will see minor design tweaks over its predecessor. This clamshell-foldable from Samsung is expected to have the same shape and size but with a larger external display. Likewise, it will likely come in Gold, Silver, Light Blue, and Light Violet color options.
Other design upgrades coming to the Galaxy Z Flip 4 are internal. The smartphone is rumored to have a redesigned hinge making the phone slimmer and the crease on display barely visible.
Possible Specs
Talking about specs, the phone is rumored to be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, like the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Besides, the foldable is said to run on Android 12 with OneUI 4.1.1 on top.
Rumors of Z Flip 4 being the same size means we might see the same 6.7-inch internal display. However, the external display is said to get bigger at 2.1-inch (Z Flip 3 features a 1.9-inch external display). Other rumors of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 claim a bigger 3700mAh battery with support for 25W charging. It will be a great upgrade for the Z Flip 4 as the Flip 3 only features a 3400mAh battery with 15W wired charging.
