In recent years, foldable smartphones have been making quite a name, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip series is one of the best-selling foldable smartphones globally. The South Korean tech giant has become a pioneer in foldable smartphones with 3 generations already on the market for years. With every new day, we’re getting new leaks about the fourth generation of the Galaxy Z Flip series. Although, there is no official confirmation about the specs from Samsung yet. But, by looking at the previous models and leaks from trusted sources here’s a quick look at the spec sheet of the 2022 Galaxy Z Flip 4.
Galaxy Z Flip 4: Design & New Colors
- Available in 4 colors
- Expected to have an improved IP rating
- A larger outer display
The Samsung Galaxy Flip 4 will not deviate much from its predecessor in terms of design. We expect the same dual-tone clamshell fold combining glass and metal in a compact sandwich design with an improved hinge design. The leaked renders indicate that the Flip 4 will be slightly thicker at 7.2mm than 6.9mm in Galaxy Z Flip 3.
The decision for a dual-tone design which Samsung opted for Galaxy Flip 3 was a hit so it is highly likely that the dual-tone design will be retained this year. However, multiple sources have confirmed an improvement to the IPX8 rating of the Flip 4. So, this year we could see a dustproof Galaxy Z Flip 4. Other reports suggest Samsung will stick with a side-mounted physical fingerprint sensor rather than going for an under-display sensor.
We are expecting Galaxy Z Flip 4 to launch in 4 colors:
- Gray
- Light Violet
- Gold
- Light Blue

There have been rumors about a slightly larger outer AMOLED display in the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4. It could be at least 0.2 inches bigger than the Galaxy Z Flip 3’s outer display (2.1” on Flip 4 vs 1.9” on Flip 3).
The main or inner display of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 came with a Full HD+ display resolution so we can see that the Flip 4 will sport a 6.7” inch FHD+ display. Furthermore, there have been speculations about an under-display camera as well as a punch-hole camera but nothing has been confirmed as of now.
