Samsung announced today (Wednesday) the new generation of its foldable smartphones: Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. Samsung is the only company in Israel that currently sells smartphones with a foldable screen in an orderly manner, while in the world you can see companies like Xiaomi and Oppo that have also joined to the category.
Folding screens allow an interesting diversification in the mobile market, the possibility of offering devices with larger screens, but when the phone is not in use, it becomes more compact.

The Z Fold 4 is a smartphone designed for a multitasking user experience, for those looking for a replacement for a compact mobile tablet.
When the device is closed, you can find a 6.2-inch external touch screen with a resolution of 2316 x 904 pixels in Dynamic AMOLED 2X technology.
It is indeed a screen of the same size as the one from last year, but this time Samsung realized that its screen was until now too narrow to use for frequent use of writing short messages, quickly reading emails or quickly updating on social networks.
Therefore, Samsung has made it wider, so that it will be more convenient for these tasks.
