Samsung is also doing more to make the Galaxy Z Fold 4 useful when its display is folded halfway

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the first device to ship with Android 12L, a special version of Android created by Google for large-screen devices

The 6.7-inch screen size of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is the same as its predecessor, but it has a longer-lasting battery

Samsung will accept orders for the new phones beginning Wednesday and will ship them on Aug. 26
