Samsung's next batch of foldable mobile phones will be launched in mid August. Galaxy Z fold 4 and flip 4 are expected to be released at that time. There have been rumors detailing these foldable devices, confirming that Samsung will continue to make heavy bets on this series of products. The recent leak provides excellent news for the galaxy Z fold 4 flagship, as Samsung is said to be using a new processor model for the phone.
Xiaolong generation 8 1 plus system chip (SOC) should be unveiled in the next few months. If the report is accurate, Galaxy Z fold 4 may not have to spend time dealing with the overheating problem released by Galaxy S22.
As soon as the galaxy S22 series was launched, there was a big problem. Early buyers found that Samsung reduced the performance of mobile phones to avoid overheating and support battery life.
Although the overheating problem was solved, the deceleration operation of Galaxy S22 became a big scandal of the company in South Korea. Then the smartphone giant apologized to buyers and shareholders and defended the accusations of cutting performance. In addition, the company is committed to improving exynos SOCS in Galaxy phones.
The previous deceleration problem mainly affected the galaxy S22 mobile phone with exynos 2200 chip instead of snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. The rumors of the latest Galaxy Z fold 4 are exciting. It implies that Samsung will not provide exynos chips in the next generation of flagship foldable phones. In this way, the available chips fall on the Gen 1 series of Xiaolong generation 8. Although the SOC of this generation of Qualcomm also has the problem of overheating and deceleration on the mobile phones of many manufacturers, this is not as obvious as exynos 2200.
Ice unverse, a well-known whistleblower, said on twitter that he could confirm that galaxy Z fold 4 and flip 4 would receive the same processor upgrade. That is the Xiaolong generation 8 Gen 1 plus model manufactured by TSMC. Qualcomm has not announced this model, but the release of the improved processor is not surprising, and this is not the first time Qualcomm upgraded its flagship SOC in the second half of the year.
The blogger did not mention the exynos 2200 "plus" version that matches Xiaolong's Gen 1plus 8 generation. This seems to imply that galaxy Z fold 4 and flip 4 will only have snapdragon version.
Given all these developments, it seems that the galaxy Z fold 4 should not experience any processor spin down, although overheating concerns remain.
