At the start of 2022, Samsung successfully hosted its first event of this year with the launch of Galaxy S22 flagship series smartphones. The second big event is expected to be held in the second half for introducing the next-gen foldables. Meanwhile, it has been revealed that Samsung might start Galaxy Z Flip 4 panel shipments next month.
As per the CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultants Ross Young, Samsung Display is expected to begin the Galaxy Z Flip 4 panel shipments next month. To be noted, the company had started the Galaxy Z Flip 3’s panel shipments during the same time last year.
Samsung Display is expected to begin panel shipments for the Z Flip 4 next month, same timing as the Z Flip 3 last year. But panel shipments are expected to be much larger. Expecting 8.7M panels in 2022 for the Z Flip 4 vs. 5.1M for the Z Flip 3 in 2021.

Further, the same source also revealed that the Korean Display maker is likely to ship a hefty number of panels for the Galaxy Z Flip 4 clamshell foldable smartphone. While the panel shipments for the Galaxy Z Flip 3 were 5.1 million last year, it’s expected to reach 8.7 million in 2022 for the Z Flip 4.
However, Samsung has not yet disclosed anything about the future foldable phones that could be the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4. It’s noteworthy that the company had introduced the Fold 3 and Flip 3 in August last year, so we can expect the same timeline for the 2022 foldables.
