Galaxy Z Flip 4 release date and price
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 4 keeps what works about its clamshell foldable form factor — its adorable, space-saving design and overall versatility — and improves everything else. The display, cameras, and overall resilience of the hinge are better this year, and the new colours are just divine.

Galaxy Z Flip 4 design
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip’s design hasn’t changed a great deal since it first launched - except the cover display - and that statement remains true in the fourth generation of the device.
On the whole, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 looks very similar tothe Galaxy Z Flip 3, though there have been some improvements here and there. The hinge is slimmer for example, and the shock resistance has also been improved. There’s also Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection and an Armour frame, though the IP rating remains atIPX8.
Other differences include a more angular frame, more prominent buttons and larger camera lenses than the Z Flip 3, delivering a more refined - though familiar - design overall.
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a horizontal fold, which when unfolded expands to reveal an internal display and apunch hole cameracentralised at the top. On the back, there’s a dual rear camera and an external display next to it, taking up just over a third of the device. The rest of the rear is plain.
Four standard colours are available, called Graphite, Bora Purple, Pink Gold and Blue, though there is a Bespoke Edition too, which allows for 75 different customisation options. you’re able to opt for Yellow, White, Navy, Khaki or Red for the front or back in the Bespoke Edition models. Frame choices are Silver, Black or Gold.
Galaxy Z Flip 4 display
There was talk of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 increasing the cover display size again, though this has turned out not to be the case. Instead, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 features a 1.9-inch cover display like the Z Flip 3 and a 6.7-inch main display when unfolded.
In terms of resolution, the cover display has a 512 x 260 pixel resolution, while the main display has a 2640 x 1080 pixel resolution. The main display uses a Dynamic AMOLED panel and it’s an Infinity Flex Display, folding horizontally in the middle.
The main display offers avariable refresh ratebetween 1Hz and 120Hz and it offers a 22:9 aspect ratio. As we briefly mentioned, there is a punch hole camera at the top of the main display in the middle.
The cover display is a Super AMOLED panel and it’s an Always On Display. There are more options than the Galaxy Z Flip 3 though, with themes running from inside the phone to the outside.
