Early Galaxy Z Fold4 and Z Flip4 rumors suggest the S22 isn't the only phone Samsung's turning into a Note
Everything's a Note now — even you
Months of rumors and leaks finally came to a head last week as Samsung made the Galaxy S22 series official, and guess what — they're pretty good phones. It's no secret the company has all but cleared its usual summer Unpacked event to focus on its ever-growing line of foldables. If you're no longer won over by traditional smartphone design, some early rumors for the next devices in the Galaxy Z series might win you over.
You might finally be able to afford Samsung's next folding phones
Rumors indicate that the Galaxy Z series is going to get considerably cheaper
Foldable phones are kind of like exotic sports cars: everyone can agree that they're cool, but very few of us can justify the expense for something only marginally more capable than a standard design. According to a recent leak, Samsung's next foldable phones will be considerable improvements in terms of price, bringing them within attainable reach for more consumers.
Samsung's elite foldable club gets its strangest perk yet
Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip owners get free dessert and discounts on rich people stuff
Remember Samsung's Galaxy Z Premier service, that thing they launched when they announced the super-expensive Galaxy Z Fold back in 2019? It's still around! Yeah, weird, right? Initially promoted as an upper echelon of live, 24-7 technical support, Samsung has expanded it into a suite of owner benefits for its most expensive devices. Including desserts, apparently.
Samsung is reportedly working on a dramatic dual-hinge Fold flagship for 2021
A wider tablet-style screen would work better for apps and video
If one fold is good, two folds are better. That appears to be the thinking at Samsung's R&D department, where engineers are reportedly hard at work on a double-hinged phone in the Galaxy Fold series. According to a business report from Nikkei, Samsung is looking into a double-hinged design, with hopes to unveil it before the end of 2021. That's on top of new iterations of Samsung's existing folding designs, the large Galaxy Z Fold and the clamshell Galaxy Z Flip.
