The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is one of Samsung’s foldable phones that is scheduled to be officially announced this year. Based on the latest reports, it is likely that the new phone will come with a new hinge that is thinner and lighter.

This information is coming to us from a famous leaker with the name Antony TheGalox On Twitter, who claimed in his tweet that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will be Samsung’s first foldable phone with a single hinge.
The news that could make everyone happy in the near future is that the phone will not only have a lighter and thinner hinge but will also be less expensive but also more durable.
If this information is true, it means that both parties will profit from this deal. And based on some leaked reports, the South Korean company decided to rely on KH Vatec as the main supplier of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 hinge.
Samsung plans to launch 13 million foldable units during 2022, which includes the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4, which are expected to be launched sometime during the third quarter of this year.
This number is very huge when compared to the number of units sold of the current generation foldable phones, which did not exceed 7 million units at the time of writing this report. It is clear that Samsung expects an increased demand for its foldable phones of the next generation.
The new generation of foldable phones is likely to arrive during the third quarter
If Samsung follows the same schedule for the launch of its previous foldable phones, it is expected that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be launched during the third quarter of 2022, specifically during the month of August, but remember that this is just speculation and not officially documented information by the Korean tech giant.
No one can deny that Samsung is the only company that swallows the foldable smartphone market and this is very natural and logical given that it is the only company that sells its foldable phones around the world, unlike foldable phones that come from competing companies such as Xiaomi and Huawei.
For example, if we look at the Oppo Find N, Honor Magic V or Xiaom Mi Mix Fold, we will find that these three phones are limited to the Chinese market only.
Things may change a bit during the current year, but we should not be ahead of the latest, we have to wait for a longer period of time to see with our own eyes whether these companies plan to expand their influence around the world during the coming period.
