Only complaints for me is they kept the under display camera which is complete trash and the battery size. Hopefully the newer processor will be a little more efficient and it will be a non issue.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the UDC.
But I think Samsung had to keep it...what other alternatives do they have? Remove it all together? Bring back the hole punch with higher MP?
If they remove it all together it would be complaints among those who find having a camera in the inner display useful and bringing back the hole punch will ruin the user experience for Fold 3 users.
This might give you a better idea of the differences.

The Fold 4 is slightly shorter and wider, but only slightly. The inner screen is going to be more squarish.
But there’s a potential that the Fold 4 will have 2 variants.. 12GB/16GB RAM, I’m definitely going to try for the 16GB.
Thanks. It's a lot more obvious in that picture.
I did stare at the first picture posted for a couple of minutes and couldn't see the differences.
Well guess I'll be keeping my Fold 3This might give you a better idea of the differences.

Well, I have a Fold 2 (had it since launch) and I didn't see the need to upgrade to the Fold 3. Water resistance and the S-Pen wasn't really high on my wanted list.
Technically the reason I'm upgrading is that this is the last year the Fold 2 will be receiving updates and in additon to that... this is first time the Fold series is getting a substantial camera upgrade. I don't care to do the two-phone setup (no shade to those who do), I use the Fold as my daily driver.
And I'll be lying to myself if I don't wish for a better camera setup, so... this is the year Samsung addresses it.
I’m not really expecting much. Two days ago I traded mine in for a 13 pro. I was getting horrible battery life, screen was scratching to easy(2 replacements). And the phone produced to much heat.
I have been using the Fold 1, 2 and 3 as my daily, regardless of features on conventional slab formats I can't go back

I’m curious… what are your reasons for giving up on the Fold and going back to the regular slab?

Looks like we are on track for a August 26th release date!
However, I’m more excited about OneUI 4.1.1 than Fold 4. Maybe due to the fact the upcoming Fold 4 won’t see any drastic changes compared to the Fold 2 and 3.
IMO, the biggest leap was from the original Fold to the Fold 2… that’s when I had to jump on board. Inner display saw an improvement removing that ugly right-sided notch and added a hole punch instead. And then the most drastic change came from the outer display… enlarging the screen to fit the entire display.
Probably, the biggest leap from the Fold 3 to the Fold 4… is the camera, which is the only reason why I’m upgrading. I have a feeling Samsung will cover that longer in the presentation. But I’m coming from a Fold 2… so, I’ve interesting in using the S-Pen.
Haven’t used an S-Pen since my Note 10+ days… I enjoyed using it to navigate around OneUI and I’m certain there’s more features that’s been added during that time.
Mainly the camera. On both the 2 and 3, low light and marco shots, were subpar. That and the built in S-pen slot made me decide to trade to the S22 Ultra. So if the Fold 4 gets good reviews on the camera, I'll probably go back.
Agreed about the camera! Samsung hasn’t really put forth an effort to add better camera tech to the Fold series, all Galaxy Folds up to this point had average cameras compared to the S series. And that’s what I’m looking forward to with the Fold 4… hopefully there’s some good trade in value for my Fold 2.
Umm.. not necessarily up to par with the S22 Ultra, but maybe on the level of the S22/Plus. And before the Fold series lacked behind current version of the S series.
I believe Fold 2 and 3 cameras are on par with the S10 series… which was released 3 years ago.
Looks like everything is in this one.. I suppose. Are you planning on pre-ordering a Flip 4?
I unequivocally agree! I wish Samsung would copy the Oppo Find N and just be done with it, luckily Google is on that road map… but won’t have any Galaxy features I‘ve become accustomed to. I plan on purchasing the Fold 4… however, I’ll have to consider my options when Google enters the foldable market.
Probably, still not sure though. I have a fold 3 that I never use and want to trade that in. Flip 4 is one I'm eyeing, depends on what the trade in promos are like. I have a razor and love the design, but looks like Motorola is going to be copying the flip design, so might as well go with an actual flip.
