Both devices feature customizable form factors, tailored experiences, and upgraded performance. Now in its fourth generation, the Galaxy Z Series continues to break conventions to deliver new and immersive experiences that enhance everyday life.

Created in collaboration with our world-class partners, the next foldable devices offer mobile experiences that meet the needs of our most dynamic users,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “Through our unwavering focus and industry leadership, excitement for foldables continues to grow. We’ve successfully transformed this category from a radical project to a mainstream device lineup enjoyed by millions worldwide.”

A testament to Samsung’s dedication to superb craftsmanship, every component in the latest Galaxy Z Series has been designed to deliver optimized experiences that fit the needs of a user. The Galaxy Z Flip4 builds on the success of past Galaxy Z Flip devices with upgraded camera features, a larger battery1, and expanded customization opportunities, all while maintaining an ultra-compact design. Delivering Samsung’s most comprehensive smartphone experience to-date, the Galaxy Z Fold4 opens new possibilities by offering shape-shifting design, immersive2 displays and PC-like multitasking3 features supported by advanced camera technology and powerful mobile processors.

Galaxy Z Flip4, the Ultimate Self-expression Tool, Inside and Out
The Galaxy Z Flip4 is the ultimate tool for self-expression. Its compact clamshell design offers unique experiences to users. Shoot hands-free video or capture full group selfies at various angles by partially folding Galaxy Z Flip4 to activate FlexCam4. Content can even be enjoyed on users’ favourite apps5 – thanks to the Samsung-Meta partnership, FlexCam6 is optimized for the most popular social platforms, including Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook. Do more with Galaxy Z Flip4 by taking high-quality selfies right from the Cover Screen7 by leveraging the main camera with the upgraded Quick Shot. Start high-quality video recording in Quick Shot mode and then seamlessly switch to Flex8 mode to continue recording hands-free without stopping the video – ideal for content creators and vloggers. Users are now able to take selfies in Portrait Mode and see a preview in actual photo ratio when using Quick Shot. Plus, with an upgraded camera equipped with a 65 percent brighter sensor9 powered by the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform, photos and videos are crisp and stable – day or night. The Galaxy Z Flip4 can also capture, watch, and connect longer thanks to an expanded 3,700mAh battery (typical)10 that, when paired with Super-Fast charging, can boost battery up to 50 percent in around 30 minutes11.

With a slimmer hinge, straightened edges, contrasting hazed back glass and glossy metal frame, the 2022 Galaxy Z Flip4 design is our most refined smartphone yet. Crafted to go truly hands-free, users can do more without ever opening their phone. Make calls, reply to texts, all from the Cover Screen12. The Galaxy Z Flip4 can also be customized inside and out with Galaxy Themes on both the Cover and Main Screen to complement each users unique style. Users can create their own Cover Screen13 with new clock designs and backgrounds in various formats such as images, GIFs and even video14.

Galaxy Z Fold4, a Multi-tasking Powerhouse
The Galaxy Z Fold4 reflects the latest in Samsung Galaxy innovation delivering our most powerful smartphone yet. Galaxy Z Fold4 combines Samsung’s collective mobile technology expertise to create a device with increased functionality whether opened, closed, or in Flex mode15. Furthermore, it is the first Samsung device to ship with Android 12L, a special version of Android created by Google for large-screen experiences, including foldables.

Multitasking16 on Galaxy Z Fold4 is now super easy so users can get more done on the go. The new Taskbar17 provides a layout similar to your PC, offering access to your favourite and recent apps. Multitasking18 is also more intuitive thanks to new swipe gestures19. Instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows or split your screen in half for more ways to multitask20.

Partnerships with Google and Microsoft further elevate multitasking experiences on Galaxy Z Fold4. Google apps, including Chrome and Gmail, now support drag-and-drop, allowing users to quickly copy and paste links, photos and more from one app to another. With Google Meet, users can now connect with more people while enjoying virtual co-activities, including co-watching videos on YouTube. Microsoft’s full Office suite and Outlook take advantage of the foldable display, providing more information on the screen and faster ways to interact with the content. The multitasking experience is complete with S Pen functionality21, enabling on-the-go drawing and notetaking with streamlined storage inside the Standing Cover with Pen case22.

Galaxy Z Fold4 takes stunning photos and videos with an upgraded 50MP wide lens and 30x Space Zoom23 lens. A variety of camera modes, including the larger zoom activated on Capture View Mode, Dual Preview, and Rear Cam Selfie are custom-built to take advantage of the unique form factor for increased capturing flexibility. And with the larger pixel size, a 23 percent brighter sensor24, and enhanced processing power, users can capture clear images even at night.

Content is even more immersive and distinctive on the 7.6-inch Main Screen25 with a brighter display, a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate26, and a less visible Under Display Camera (UDC) thanks to a new scatter-type sub-pixel arrangement. Popular social media apps, such as Netflix and Facebook, are optimized for the large-screen experience to make content more enjoyable, and users can even watch streaming entertainment service apps hands-free with Flex mode27. For non-optimized apps, users can control the device without disrupting content with the new Flex Mode Touchpad28, offering accuracy while pausing, rewinding, and playing videos, or zooming in and out of content while the device is in Flex mode29.

Games are snappier too thanks to the powerful Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform and hyper-fast 5G30. With a slimmer hinge, lighter weight, and even narrower bezels, the wider screen enables easier one-handed interactions while using the Cover Screen31.

Folding Screen Technology That Stands the Test of Time
Samsung continues its barrier-defying innovation journey to deliver the level of durability32 consumers expect, both in and out. With our Armor Aluminum frames and hinge cover along with exclusive Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ on the Cover Screen and rear glass, Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 are our toughest foldables yet. Durability of the Main Screen panel is also enhanced, thanks to the optimized layer structure. In addition, both the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 are equipped with IPX833 water resistance, so users can worry less if they get caught in the rain.

Galaxy Buds2 Pro, Premium Design with the Ultimate Listening Experience
Joining the Galaxy Z Series are Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro – Samsung’s new top-of-the-line earbuds that provide immersive wireless audio experiences. With a new, compact design and seamless connectivity, Galaxy Buds2 Pro are designed to elevate everyday life. Appreciate every musical interlude with superb Hi-Fi 24bit Audio34, high-dynamic range and crystal-clear resolution that helps you feel connected to what you’re listening to. Users can also take calls or listen to their favourite content on-the-go with powerful ANC35 that eliminates outside noise and distractions. The new compact, ergonomic design is also 15 percent smaller36 and designed with a secure fit engineered to prevent rotation which makes it ideal for fitness activities.

The new Galaxy Buds2 Pro allow users to escape into their own world and simultaneously stay connected to their life. Whether quickly transitioning from a lunchtime walk outside to join a meeting on your PC or gaming on your tablet and need to answer a phone call, Galaxy Buds2 Pro features Auto Switch37 to seamlessly connect to your Galaxy device with a touch of a finger. Samsung seamless codec enables quality music transfer without a pause and the new coaxial 2-way speaker makes those sounds richer.

Galaxy for the Planet
Since the launch of the Galaxy S22 Series, Samsung has incorporated recycled materials not just in our packaging, but also in the hardware of our new products. These are the first steps in our Galaxy for the Planet initiative, which includes our continued incorporation of recycled plastics and the creation of new materials in partnership with leading sustainability partners. As we continue to pursue innovations in sustainable manufacturing, we are proud to announce that more than 90% of the new Galaxy Buds2 Pro is made with recycled materials38. The new Galaxy Z Series also incorporates ocean-bound plastics into key components and 100 percent recycled paper for its packaging. We also reduced volume of the packaging up to 58%39 compared to the first-generation Galaxy foldables. This equates to a saving of approximately 10,000 tons of carbon emissions based on transportation from Korea to Europe this year40.

Apple announces Worldwide Developers Conference dates, in-person event – CityNews Toronto

Published

 on


Apple has announced their annual developers conference will take place June 10 through June 14.

The big summer event will be live-streamed, but some select developers have been invited to attend in-person events at Apple’s campus in Cupertino, California, on June 10.

The company typically showcases their latest software and product updates — including the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AppleTV and Vision Pro headset — during a keynote address on the first day.

Contributing to a drop in Apple’s stock price this year is concern it lags behind Microsoft and Google in the push to develop products powered by artificial intelligence technology. While Apple tends to keep its product development close to the vest, CEO Tim Cook signaled at the company’s annual shareholder meeting in February that it has been making big investments in generative AI and plans to disclose more later this year.

The week-long conference will have opportunities for developers to connect with Apple designers and engineers to gain insight into new tools, frameworks and features, according to the company’s announcement.

iPhone 16 Rumors Point to Action Button and New, Vertical Camera Layout – CNET

Published

 on


The upcoming iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro are still months away from their expected launch this fall, but a new set of images published online may give us a better sense of their potential features. Among the revelations, the iPhone 16 may include an action button, similar to the one on last year’s iPhone 15 Pro, and it may have redesigned cameras in a vertical stack.

AppleInsider published a series of photos it says show dummy 3D prints of the upcoming iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro from an unnamed leaker. Aside from the action button and reworked cameras on the iPhone 16, AppleInsider also said its source found the iPhone 16 Pro to be “slightly larger” than its predecessor. Analysts had earlier said they expect the Pro model screens will grow somewhat.

The new details suggest that a series of expected hardware updates are likely for this year’s new iPhones. Apple typically announces new iPhones around September, and the company tends to offer incremental upgrades to each new phone, introducing, over the period of several years, better cameras, screens and battery life, features that end up seeming like major upgrades when people get around to buying a new phone

Last year, Apple added a new titanium frame, action button and USB-C charging to its iPhone 15 Pro, which starts at $999. For its entry-level iPhone, Apple followed its well-worn strategy of trickling pro features down to the mainstream, adding the iPhone 14 Pro’s well-received Dynamic Island to the $799 iPhone 15, along with USB-C charging.

AppleInsider didn’t indicate whether its leaker had divined a reason for the iPhone 16’s shifted camera placements, but the two lenses will now reportedly be stacked one on top of the other, instead of diagonally. Apple has previously said it uses stacked lenses on the iPhone 15 Pro for spatial video capture, a key new technology the company highlighted as part of its $3,499 Apple Vision Pro headset, released in February.

Though AppleInsider’s leaks appear to confirm many previous rumors, not all renders and 3D prints are accurate, something the rumor blog notes itself in its report. Apple didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment about the veracity of the leaks.

Leaked iPhone 16 dummy units hint at larger sizes and new buttons

Published

We’re already counting down to the arrival of the iPhone 16 series – most probably sometime in September – and a leak showing dummy units of the upcoming phones has revealed a few of the changes we can expect to see later this year.

These dummy units are usually based on supply chain information, and have various business uses – like helping case manufacturers get their wares ready for new phones before they’re launched, for example. In this case, the images were posted to Chinese social network Weibo, as spotted by MacRumors.

Perhaps the most interesting reveal from these blocks of plastic and metal is that they show the previously rumored increase in size for the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max displays – up to 6.3 inches (from 6.1 inches) and 6.9 inches (from 6.7 inches) respectively.

That’s not a huge jump of course, but it does mean more screen space for apps and media. The bezels are apparently shrinking down to accommodate the larger screens, which means the increase in the physical size of these handsets is only a slight one.

Further reveals from this leak match up with what we’ve heard before: that all four models are going to get the Action button that replaced the Ring/Silent switch on the 2023 Pro models, as well as a brand-new Capture button for getting more creative with photos.

Also of note is the redesigned rear camera module that we think is coming to the back of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. The new vertical, pill-shaped look has been leaked already, but this is more evidence that it’s on the way – taking us back to a design that’s more reminiscent of the iPhone 12, which came out in 2020.

As always with such rumors, be somewhat cautious about reading too much into the look of these dummy units. That said, as more and more similar leaks pile up, it becomes more likely that they’re based on accurate information.

The next big Apple date for your calendar is WWDC 2024 – its Worldwide Developers Conference starts on June 10, at which time we should hear much more about what’s coming this year with iOS 18 and Apple’s other software platforms.
