Digital high-performance microphones
use AAC’s in-house chips for HD sound pickup
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 features AAC’s digital high-performance microphones for accurate sound pickup. These microphones are equipped with AAC’s in-house low-background noise and high-performance microphone chips. These microphones exceed the performance of other microphones in the same package size. The excellent signal-to-noise ratio and high sound pressure saturation provide users with a superior voice experience when talking, video chatting, live streaming, or participating in multi-party conferences. Users can perfectly capture the most pristine sound details, whether outdoors or in a noisy indoor environment.
A large X-axis linear actuator
produces strong and detailed multi-layered vibrations
To ensure the ultimate haptic experience, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is powered by a large X-axis linear actuator exclusively customized by AAC Technologies. This customized actuator is slimmer and longer than other actuators and is perfectly integrated into the complex structure and internal space of this new device. Its optimal size allows for strong vibrations, which enable the Galaxy Z Fold4 to provide a multi-dimensional and multi-layered haptic sensation.
This actuator provides low-, mid-, and high-frequency vibrations during gaming, typing, socializing, and audio and video streaming. Users enjoy a detailed, multi-layered, and vivid vibration experience.
Super-linear-structure (SLS) speakers
enable an enhanced and richer sound
To achieve beautiful sound quality, AAC’s SLS speakers are mounted on top of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 to produce a rich and clear sound. The Galaxy Z Flip4 offers amazing loudspeaker performance in diverse environments. When communicating with others by voice in mobile games, users feel as if they are talking face to face. Users can enjoy hands-free calling with one touch. They can also experience superior sound quality when watching videos or listening to music.
