There is also no mention of whether that brightness level is for larger displays or for smaller ones, but a 120Hz refresh rate is certain to be possessed.
Korean media Naver has recently revealed the price of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 in the Korean market.

A single charge will bring 8 hours of playback time, with a range of up to 29 hours with the addition of the charging case. The charging case will be able to charge wirelessly as well as through its USB-C port.
