For the fourth generation Galaxy Z Fold (coming August 10) Samsung is reconfiguring the aspect ratio of the lid and internal displays. The cover display will shift from 24.5: 9 to 23: 9. The company has also found a way to slim down the bezels slightly, judging by this image shared by Ice universe.
It shows the vivo X Fold (top), the new Galaxy Z Fold4 (center) and the Galaxy Z Fold3 (bottom). Both the vertical and horizontal bezels are thinner than the outgoing Z Fold.

Another thing to note in this picture: the hinge profile is noticeably different and more compact. It is rumored that the new hinge has been redesigned to reduce creasing.
Returning to the new proportions, here is an illustrative render. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 will be more robust, giving apps a little more horizontal space on the lid display and making the top of the display a little easier to reach.
The Galaxy Z Fold4 will have a stockier aspect ratio than its predecessor
The internal display will move slightly closer to a square, from a 6.25: 5 to 6: 5 aspect ratio. Samsung has promised some official teasers in the three weeks leading up to the Unpacked event and we expect to receive some confirmations on the display and hinge rumors.
For a look inside, the first official renders of the Galaxy Z Fold4 (and also the Z Flip4) have already leaked. By the way, fans in the US can already pre-order a unit and will receive $ 100 in store credit, up to $ 200 if they also pre-order a Galaxy Watch5 and a new Galaxy Buds (both will be unveiled in the same Unpacked event).
