Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4: Features and Specs
The Galaxy Z Fold4 has some minor differences here and there but is otherwise very similar to its predecessor. The design is identical and opens like a book. The edges have a slight taper and the hinge is smaller, as seen in numerous render leaks. There is still a vertical camera hump on the rear and a bezel-less display.
The Galaxy Fold4 has a 7.6-inch inner display with a modified aspect ratio of 21.6:18 and 120Hz refresh rate. It’s a Dynamic AMOLED 2X QXGA+ display panel with a resolution of 2176 x 1812 pixels, 374ppi, and HDR10+. It has a center-placed under-the-display punch-hole for the front camera.The secondary outer Dynamic AMOLED 2X HD+ display is 6.2 inches, has a refresh rate of 120Hz, and has an aspect ratio of 23.1:9. Its screen resolution is 2316 by 904 pixels.
The camera department features a 50MP main camera with OIS and Dual Pixel AF, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 10MP telephoto lens (with OIS, PDAF, and 3x optical zoom). The inner display has a 4MP selfie camera, and the outer one has a 10MP camera. The Galaxy Z Fold4 includes features like Capture View Mode, Dual Preview, and Rear Cam Selfie, among others.
