Samsung is reportedly preparing many surprises for the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The fourth-generation folding screen phone is rumored to be carrying a more sophisticated camera and a thinner design.
According to a leak from GalaxyClub, Samsung is trying to bring the latest camera update for the Galaxy Z Fold 4. As is known, the Galaxy Fold line has always been present with three rear cameras that have a resolution of 12 MP, except for the 16 MP ultrawide camera in the original Galaxy Fold.
Last year, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 also had three rear cameras with a resolution of 12 MP. Unlike the Galaxy S22 series, which has a camera up to 108 MP and a more sophisticated telephoto camera.
The GalaxyClub report says the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will use at least one camera from the Galaxy S22, specifically a 3x 10 MP telephoto lens. This lens will replace the 2x 12 MP telephoto lens on the Galaxy Z Fold 3.
In addition to the telephoto lens, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will reportedly also carry a 10 MP selfie camera. But it is unknown whether this is the under-display selfie camera on the main screen or the selfie camera for the second screen.
For the main camera, it is not known whether Samsung will bring the 50 MP camera in the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22+ to the Galaxy Z Fold 4, as quoted from 9to5Google, Wednesday (6/4/2022).
Galaxy Z Fold 4 will be Samsung's first Foldable phone with a single hinge
It allows the device to be thinner & lighter while also saving costs and being more durable.

Another report states that Samsung will use a new hinge design in the Galaxy Z Fold 4. This leak comes from tipster @TheGalox_ who has a fairly accurate track record.
The tipster claims that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will use a single hinge, replacing the dual hinge that was in the previous generation Galaxy Fold.
The use of this new hinge mechanism is claimed to produce a folding screen phone with a thinner and lighter design. Not only that, the hinge of this new model can also cut the cost of cell phone production.
Currently all these rumors are still unconfirmed. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 itself seems to be launching at the Galaxy Unpacked event next summer, so we'll just have to wait for an official announcement from Samsung.
