Could The Galaxy Z Fold 4 Be More Than The Fold 3? Here’s What We Know

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 4 might be more expensive than its predecessor. The South Korean company recently confirmed that its next Galaxy Unpacked event would take place on Aug. 10. It is expected to unveil multiple devices, including the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. Alongside the new folding devices, Samsung will also likely unveil the Galaxy Watch 5 and the Galaxy Watch 5 Pro at the upcoming event.

Apart from the devices above, Samsung could also announce the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro at the Unpacked event. The company announced the original Galaxy Buds Pro in Jan. 2021, followed by the Galaxy Buds 2 in August. So it's been almost a year since the launch of the last Galaxy Buds, meaning it is up for an upgrade sooner rather than later. According to rumors, the next-gen Galaxy Buds earphones will come in three colors – Zenith White, Zenith Bora Purple and Zenith Graphite. The event could also see the launch of a new Bora Purple colorway for the Galaxy S22-series.

Recent reports suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 might be more expensive than its predecessor. According to GizPaw, the upcoming device has been listed on the website of an undisclosed European retailer, starting at €1,863 (around $1,903) for the 256GB model, which would be €64 (around $65) more expensive than the €1,799 (around $1,838) launch price for the corresponding Z Fold 3 model. As for the 512GB variant, the Z Fold 4 could have an asking price of €1,981 (around $2,024), which would be €82 (around $83) more expensive than the 512GB Z Fold 3.

GizPaw further speculates that the two Z Fold 4 models might be priced at €1,849 (around $1,889) and €1,999 (around $2,042) instead of the listed price tags, which would make them €50 (around $51) and €100 (around $102) more expensive than their predecessors. However, do note that there's no confirmation of the price tags from any official sources, nor is there any corroboration from any reliable tipster, so take the information with a pinch of salt for now.

That said, the leaks mentioned above are in line with an earlier report which suggested that the Z Flip 4 might be slightly more expensive than its predecessor. According to the report, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 will start from €1,080 (around $1,099) for the base 128GB model in Europe, while the 256GB and 512GB models will be priced at €1,160 (around $1,181) and €1,280 (around $1,303), respectively. With both reports pointing at similar hikes in the prices of Samsung's next-gen foldables, it will be interesting to see if both the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Z Flip 4 will be more expensive than their predecessors this year.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
