Samsung's next big product launch event is officially August 10. After an earlier leak from Evan Blass, aka Evleaks, nailing down this date, Samsung's Twitter account more or less confirmed the report with a puzzle with "081022" as the answer. Expected at the show are the Galaxy Z Fold 4, Galaxy Z Flip 4, Galaxy Watch 5, and the Buds2 Pro earbuds. Samsung has great timing because more leaks have also come out today. Evan Blass and 91Mobiles have posted official renders of both the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4.

The exterior design of both devices hasn't changed much, but rumor has it we're looking at a lot of dimension and internal changes. Leaker Ice universe claims the Galaxy Fold is once again expected to get a bit shorter and wider. The exterior Fold 3 screen is very short and skinny, which can lead to layout problems, a general cramped feeling, and a small keyboard. Going shorter and wider with the Z Fold 4 will get the front screen closer to a normal phone aspect ratio. On the inside, shorter and wider should help with media and split-screen content, where the split will be closer to two normal smartphones next to each other.

If you want to see the Z Fold 4 from more angles, these unofficial renders from Onleaks and Smartprix are your best bet. There are conflicting reports about the device's thickness. The Onleaks render has the Z Fold 4 dimensions at 155×130×7.1 mm. That's shorter, wider, and thicker than the 158.2×128.1×6.4 mm Fold 3. Meanwhile Ice Universe keeps saying the Fold 4 is "thinner" than the Fold 3 while stilling keeping a 4400 mAh battery (same as the Fold 3).
