Galaxy Z Fold 4: Specs and Features
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 strongly resembles its predecessor and includes subtle changes here and there. It comes with the same open-like-a-book design. As seen in multiple render leaks, there are slightly tapered edges and a smaller hinge. The vertical camera hump at the back and the bezel-less display remain.
The Galaxy Fold 4 features a 7.6-inch inner display with a changed aspect ratio of 21.6:18 and support for a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s a Dynamic AMOLED 2X QXGA+ display panel with a screen resolution of 2176 x 1812 pixels, a pixel density of 374ppi, and HDR10+.

The camera department includes a 50MP main snapper with OIS and Dual Pixel AF, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens (with OIS, PDAF, and 3x optical zoom). There’s a 4MP under-the-display selfie shooter for the inner display and a 10MP camera for the outer one. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 comes with features like Capture View Mode, Dual Preview, and Rear Cam Selfie, among others.
