Since Google’s AR (Augmented Reality) capability was opened to the outside world, many phone manufacturers will access this technology to enhance the user experience of the owner. For example, Google uses AR in the Lens application to provide functions such as image translation.

However, in addition to the direct use of Google phones, other phones need to pass Google’s ARCore certification to use it. Recently, a batch of Samsung phones has been certified by Google ARCore. These include the A14 5G, A23 5G, Z Fold4, Z Flip4, S23, S23+, S23 Ultra, and the Tab Active4 Pro 5G.

Samsung is preparing to launch its 2023 flagship phone, the Galaxy S23 series, in early February. The Samsung Galaxy S23 series will be pre-installed with the One UI 5.1 system based on Android 13. Echoing this, Samsung has started internal testing of One UI 5.1 on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 folding screen. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 folding screen will be launched in August 2022, pre-installed with the One UI 4.1.1 system based on Android 12L, and the device has previously been updated with the official version of Android 13.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is currently running Android 13-based One UI 5.0 system. In addition to the Galaxy Z Fold 4 testing One UI 5.1, Samsung is also conducting internal testing of the One UI 5.1 firmware for the Galaxy S22, Galaxy S22+, and Galaxy S22 Ultra, with firmware version number S90xEXXU2CVL7.

According to Samsung’s consistent strategy, One UI 5.1 will land on the Galaxy S22 series within a few days after the official release of the Galaxy S23 series. The One UI 5.1 test firmware version number for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is F936NKSU1CVLH. The fourth-to-last letter in the version number is “C,” which indicates that this firmware is the third major One UI update for the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The current Android 13 firmware has the letter “B”.

Samsung One UI 5.1 system will bring some lock screen customization options, battery widgets, etc. Android 13’s Material You design language was not properly adopted by Samsung in One UI 5.0, and One UI 5.1 is likely to bring substantial enhancements and support for Material You.

According to the Nikkei News, Nihon Keizai Shimbun and Fomalhaut Techno Solutions, a professional dismantling organization in Tokyo, conducted a dismantling report on Samsung’s latest folding device Galaxy Z Fold 4, and the cost of its components is estimated at $670, less than 40% of the sales price, and the hardware cost of the iPhone 14 Pro Max is 46% of the sales price.

The report shows that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 uses a large number of Samsung-made components and other local Korean hardware, which makes its supply chain more stable and cost-effective.

In terms of cost, the proportion of Fold 4’s local parts is about 50%, which is twice that of the iPhone, and the proportion of local parts is relatively high. As manufacturers such as Apple work to diversify supply chains and reduce geopolitical risks, Samsung is benefiting from strong domestic procurement, which ensures a steady supply of its parts and keeps costs down.

Apparently, the Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Pro are the fastest 5G devices on the U.S. market, beating out Samsung devices. the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is Samsung’s fastest 5G device in the U.S., followed by the Galaxy S21 + and Galaxy S22 Ultra.

Apple’s high-end iPhone models have impressive download speeds, averaging 177 Mbps. the best Samsung phone — the Galaxy Z Fold 4 — achieved an average download speed of 162 Mbps in the US. However, when it comes to uploading speeds, the difference between the high-end iPhone models and Samsung Galaxy devices is huge. Samsung’s average upload speeds were terrible, with the fastest median below 20Mbps.
