Recent leaks have revealed renders of two new foldable smartphones from Samsung, which the South Korean producer of electronic devices will almost certainly launch on August 10th. The leaks come from Evan Blass and 91mobiles, and they show the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is showcased in three colors (Black, Blue, and Gold/Cream), and it sports a design that’s very similar to the design of the Galaxy Z Fold 3 we saw last year.

According to rumors that have been floating around the internet for some time now, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will be slightly lighter than its predecessor and will ship with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and 12 GB of RAM. The device is expected to run Android 12 and be available with up to 1 TB of storage.

The smartphone’s cameras will also be upgraded and feature a 50 MP main sensor, a 12 MP ultrawide sensor, a 10 MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom, a 10 MP front-facing sensor for selfies, and a 16 MP under-display sensor.

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 will also use the mighty Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, but it will probably be available with only 8 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of storage.

The upgrade users of the current Galaxy Z Flip 3 look forward to the most is the increase of the smartphone’s battery capacity from 3,300 mAh to 3,800 mAh or possibly even 3,900 mAh. Together with support for 25 W fast charging, it should make it much easier for users to maintain a reasonably high battery percentage.

In addition to the two foldable smartphones, Samsung will also probably launch the Galaxy Watch 5, the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. You’ll be able to watch the livestream on Samsung’s official website on August 10, 2022 (10:00PM KST).

samsung smart glasses teased for january software reveal imminent

Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.

As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.

Just in: Samsung is set to unveil a prototype of its augmented reality (AR) glasses, currently in development, during the Galaxy S25 Unpacked event early next year, likely in the form of videos or images.

Additionally, prior to revealing the prototype, Samsung plans to introduce…

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.

A Collaborative Software Effort

Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.

Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.

Feature Set And Compatibility

The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
