The Galaxy Z Flip 3 launched last year was an absolute hit as it saw record-breaking orders from the time it was up for sale. The lower price tag and refined design were one of the main reasons behind its massive success. No wonder Samsung is coming with the next model this time around, it will be called the Galaxy Z Flip 4. We have come across several leaks and rumours that have hinted at many details regarding the upcoming flip phone, which hope to see later this year. With an improved design in Galaxy Z Flip 3, Samsung has elevated the expectations of its users. It will be interesting to see if the company lives up to the expectations with the upcoming clamshell foldable.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Design: Clamshell design to continue
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 will retain the signature clamshell foldable form factor. Reports suggest that Samsung may further work on improving the fit and finish of the device. We expect an aluminium body with a sleek glass back on the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Since the dual-tone design was a hit with the Z Flip 3, Samsung might retain it in this year’s foldable device. Let’s not forget that the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be weather-resistant just like its predecessor.
Several renders popped up on the internet hinting that the design of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be similar to the one we saw with the Z Flip 3 launched last year.
