Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 case leaks showing a slightly different aspect ratio
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 is a great foldable smartphone, but perhaps its main issue is the overly tall aspect ratio of its external screen, which makes typing not a great experience. According to a new leak out of China today, that niggle might get improved in the next generation.
Seen below is a transparent case for the Galaxy Z Fold3, next to a couple of shots of what is purported to be a similar case for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold4. The latter has a bit more width to it, implying that the cover screen’s aspect ratio has been slightly improved, making it less tall than that of the Fold3.

Of course we can’t even be sure that these shots actually portray a Fold4 case, but provided that they do, and the case maker in question was working based on official dimensions from Samsung, this has the potential to make the Korean company’s next foldable much easier to use when closed.
The only other thing the case leak reveals is that the Fold4’s camera island design will be very similar to that of the Fold3’s, with an elongated pill shape housing the multiple sensors.
A couple of days ago we also heard that the Fold4’s foldable display would have a less prominent crease, which is one of the other main niggles people had with its predecessor, so it looks like Samsung may in fact be slowly improving things in all areas. Could this mean we’ll also get a proper flagship camera system in the next Fold? Let’s wait and see what happens.

LG’s DualUp Monitor is a vertical screen with an unusual aspect ratio
LG has revealed a couple of monitors it’s debuting at its virtual CES event, and one of them is apparently a completely new format in the market. The company’s new DualUp Monitor has an unusual 16:18 aspect ratio. It’s a vertical display with a 2,560 x 2,880-pixel resolution that LG is calling “Square Double QHD.” When you use its vertical split view function, the DualUp looks like you put two 21.5—inch monitors on top of each other.
It could be a better form factor than the typical monitor if you’re constantly having to look at information on multiple windows or screens for work or for any other reason. In its announcement, LG says the model will help reduce side-to-side head movements that cause neck pain. DualUp was also meant to save space and will ship with the LG Ergo stand that clamps to most desks and tables. The Nano IPS monitor’s other features include a brightness of 300 nits, a 1000:1 contrast ratio and HDR10 support.
In addition to DualUp, LG has also introduced the UltraFine, a 32-inch 4K UHD monitor. It has a more conventional aspect ratio, but it is the first to use LG’s Nano IPS Black panel technology, which enables a contrast ratio of 2,000:1. The company will reveal more about both premium monitors at its virtual press event on January 4th. It’s unknown at this point whether LG will still push through with a physical experience at CES 2022, assuming the event will still take place despite the threat posed by the Omicron variant. It was planning on showcasing a list of new items during the conference aside from these monitors, though, including a soundbar with a center up-firing speaker, a wireless TV on wheels and an OLED TV with a motorized cover.
