Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 Leaked Renders Hint at a Lighter Device, to Miss Built-in S Pen Slot

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 renders and specifications have been leaked, indicating that the premium foldable smartphone might still miss out on a built-in S Pen slot. Based on the leaked renders, a report has claimed that the new Samsung smartphone will be lighter than its predecessor. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is reportedly expected to launch between August and September this year and will likely come with three rear cameras — as seen before on the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. The foldable phone is also rumoured to feature a 108-megapixel primary, 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, and 10-megapixel telephoto cameras at the back. The next-generation Samsung foldable is expected to get two batteries with a combined capacity of 4,270mAh.

What Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 renders and leaks tell us

According to tipster Ice Universe, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will likely be lighter than its predecessor. The tipster alleged that the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will be lighter than 260g.

Separately, in concept renders shared by Steve Hemmerstoffer aka @OnLeaks in collaboration with SmartPrix, we see that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is expected to sport similar dimensions as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3. It will reportedly feature a 6.2-inch cover display and a 7.6-inch folding display, but will come with a redesigned rear camera configuration.

The leak indicated that the smartphone might not get an in-built housing for the S Pen this time either. There has been no official announcement regarding the launch date of the smartphone from Samsung’s side, but the smartphone is expected to launch in either August or September as the South Korean giant announced the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 in early August last year.
