Hardware
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 has two screens: its 6.2-inch cover display, and its foldable inner 7.6-inch display, featuring support for the S Pen Pro and the S Pen Fold Edition. Both displays have a 120 Hz variable refresh rate. Compared to the Z Fold 3, the inner display now has a more square aspect ratio (~6:5 vs ~5:4), while the cover display is slightly wider by about +3mm while also being ever so slightly shorter (both of which combine for a notably closer to "traditional phone" ~23.1:9 aspect ratio, as compared to the Fold 3's notably narrower ~24.5:9).
The device has 12 GB of RAM, and either 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of UFS 3.1 flash storage, with no support for expanding the device's storage capacity via micro-SD cards.
The Z Fold 4 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1.[10]
The device's included battery is a 4400 mAh dual-cell unit that fast charges via USB-C up to 25 W, or via wireless charging up to 15 W.
The Z Fold 4 features three rear cameras, including a 50 MP wide-angle camera, a 12 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 10 MP telephoto camera. The wide camera shares its sensor with the S22 and S22+, replacing the previous 12 MP sensor, and the telephoto camera has been upgraded from 2x to 3x optical zoom. It has two front-facing cameras, with a 10 MP camera on the cover display and a 4 MP under-display camera on the right half of the inner display.[11]
Software
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 ships with Android 12L based One UI 4.1.[12]
