Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Z Fold4 this fall and it will bring a lot of design changes. According to the popularizer Ice universe<\/i>those will result in a significant weight reduction, and the new folding will tip the scales to less than 260g.<\/p>\n

Detailed specs of the upcoming phone are yet to arrive, so at this point we can only speculate on how the weight loss will be achieved. The battery capacity will remain the same, while the bezels will be slightly trimmed, but probably not enough to account for the 5% difference. A new hinge design may be involved, but there is no hard evidence for this yet.<\/p>\n

Another way the Galaxy Z Fold4 could lose weight is to replace the aluminum frame and hinge with some sort of plastic, but this is an unlikely solution as it would lose its premium look. Either way, we’re looking for more leaks in the coming months that should help form a clearer picture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
