Later this year Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Flip 4 and Fold 4 the successors of 2021’s foldable flagships. New rumours regarding Samsung’s 2022 foldable are now surfacing.
According to BusinessKorea, the Galaxy Fold 4 and Flip 4 will not feature an in-display fingerprint sensor but instead will sport a side-mounted scanner.
Reportedly, Samsung didn’t use the fingerprint scanner not because it doesn’t have the technology to do so, but because it believes the side-mounted scanner is more advantageous for the user experience.
Previous rumours indicate that the Flip 4 and Fold 4 would include an in-display, but that was based on a patent filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization.
It’s unclear when Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Fold 4 or Flip 4; however, we’re expecting the phone to launch in either August or September.
