Samsung has announced a new slate of foldable products, including a new Galaxy Z Flip phone.
The Z Flip 4 looks very similar to last year’s Z Flip 3, but it features Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, which should give it a nice boost in both power and battery efficiency.
Samsung has also upped the battery this year from 3,300 mAh to 3,700 mAh, so theoretically, the Flip 4 should last longer than last year’s Flip 3.

Regarding cameras, there are two 12-megapixel shooters on the outside and a single 10-megapixel camera on the inside of the foldable. This is the same camera setup as last year’s Z Flip 3.
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is being sold via the carriers and Samsung in Canada in ‘Bora Purple,’ ‘Blue,’ ‘Pink Gold’ and ‘Graphite’ colourways. Pricing starts at $1,259 for the 128GB model and 512GB option costs $1,499.
You can order a ‘Bespoke Edition’ Flip 3 directly from Samsung.com, allowing you to customize the colours of the Flip 4. Samsung says it offers over 75 different colour combinations with ‘Yellow,’ ‘White,’ ‘Navy,’ ‘Khaki’ and ‘Red on the front and back, plus ‘Silver,’ ‘Black’ and ‘Gold’ frame options.
Notably, the Flip 4 can fast charge at 25-watts, but you’ll need to get a separate charger since there isn’t one included in the box.
