It seems that Samsung is expecting big things from the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, as the phone reportedly outsells the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip XNUMX.
That's according to Ross Young (a leaker with a cool track record) who claims that Samsung plans to build XNUMX million display panels for the phone in XNUMX, compared to XNUMX million for the Z Flip XNUMX by XNUMX. one thousand twenty one
These are screens, not units of the phone itself, as these phones have 2 screens, this number may not translate to actual expected sales. But either way, it suggests that considerably more units of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 will be built in its launch year than the Z Flip XNUMX.
This leak also gives us an idea of when the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 might land, as Young claims panel shipments will begin in April, which is the same time we saw for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip very recently. año pasado.
This suggests that the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is scheduled and will surely land about a year after the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip XNUMX, that is, in the month of August or close to August.
Samsung Display is expected to start shipping panels for the Z Flip 4 next month, around the same time as the Z Flip 4 last year. But panel shipments are expected to be much larger.

Review: what makes the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 so unique?(*4*)
What's missing from this leak is information on why the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is expected to sell so well, but we can make a good guess.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip XNUMX is the company's most popular foldable according to a report by Display Supply Chain Consultants, so the new model is likely to do well, although the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold range is arguably the best.
The reason seems obvious: You can buy a Galaxy Z Flip 4 without taking out a second mortgage. Therefore, cost is probably an essential factor in the expected success of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip XNUMX.
But that doesn't tell us why Samsung expects it to perform even better than the current model. Our guess, however, is that Samsung will avoid the yearly cost increases we see on certain phone lines and offer the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 at a price similar to, or even lower than, the Z Flip XNUMX.
It could do so by making it a minimal update to the current model, which is being tested, while other leaks suggest that while the camera and battery may thrive, they're only going to get a slight boost and the device can generally be very related.
So the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 might not be the most exciting foldable phone of XNUMX, and that's essentially why it might be the best seller.
