Samsung held its Unpacked event today to show off its latest foldable smartphones, including the new Galaxy Z Flip 4. The phone is now available for preorders, starting from $999. Shipping and wider availability start August 26.

So, does the Galaxy Z Flip 4 match the leaks? How different is it from the Z Flip 3?

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 hasn’t changed much from the prior model. The screen is still 6.7 inches diagonally and has a 120Hz refresh rate, featuring Samsung’s OLED screen.

The main camera is now using a bigger sensor. That means better image quality, especially in low-light conditions.

The other improvements include the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and increased battery size to 3,700 mAh. Samsung also made the rails out of aluminum, the hinge is flatter, and it just feels more refined than last year’s Flip 3.

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is still a fashion statement

Whatever you think about foldable devices, it’s hard to argue against the fashion statement the Z Flip 4 creates. Samsung has leaned into this, offering more customizability than ever this year.

You’ll be able to get the Galaxy Z Flip 4 in Bora Purple, Graphite, Blue, and Pink Gold. Samsung is also continuing the Bespoke Edition of the Flip 4, which means 71 possible color combinations.
