Samsung galaxy z fold 4

I also appreciate the huge 7.6-inch main display, which is now brighterwith slimmer bezels — and there’s more apps optimized for the Z Fold 4's large canvas. Plus, the 6.2-inch cover display is wider and easier to use. Other improvements include a 50MP main camera that rivals the But while the hinge is thinner and the device a bit lighter, this is still a very thick and heavy phone, which makes me feel a bit less powerful after a while. (Image credit: Future) • The Galaxy Z Fold 4 looks and feels better, but it's still heavy: As someone who complained about the Z Fold 3's narrow cover display, I appreciate the wider front panel on the Fold 4. I also like the slimmer bezels on the main screen. • Dragging and dropping makes life easier: It's pretty awesome that I can use a split screen setup and drag pics from the camera roll directly into Google drive. You can't do that on an iPhone. • The crease is still quite visible: You don't notice the crease on the Z Fold 4 all the time, but it becomes an eyesore when you're using an app like Google Maps, especially in direct sunlight. • The cameras take excellent photos: The Galaxy Z Fold 4 holds its own against the best camera phones. Portraits and flower shots are particularly compelling, though the Z Fold 4 fell a bit behind Apple in some cases. See the comparisons below. • Good performance and benchmark results: The Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip delivered strong benchmark results on Geekbench, 3DMark and our own video editing test...

I’ve been PCMag’s home entertainment expert for over 10 years, covering both TVs and everything you might want to connect to them. I’ve reviewed more than a thousand different consumer electronics products including headphones, speakers, TVs, and every major game system and VR headset of the last decade. I’m an ISF-certified TV calibrator and a THX-certified home theater professional, and I’m here to help you understand 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and even 8K (and to reassure you that you don’t need to worry about 8K at all for at least a few more years). Samsung's two Galaxy Z Flip 4 vs. Fold 4: Design This is obviously where the two phones differ the most. Both can serve as smartphones of roughly the same size, but the experience is decidedly unique to each form factor. The Flip 4 starts as a tiny, pocketable square that doesn't do too much when it's closed. Unfolding the Flip 4 gives you access to its full smartphone powers. The Fold 4 starts as a full smartphone with a solid screen, allowing you do do pretty much anything you want while its closed. Opening it up expands the screen size to something more akin to a tablet, which unlocks the Fold 4's productivity powers. Galaxy Z Flip 4 (Credit: Molly Flores/PCMag) Form factor aside, the Flip 4 is a fashion-first phone, which is made all the more clear thanks to its accessories, color choices, and even name. The Flip 4 is available in blue, gold, gray, or purple, which are bolder options than the blakc, burgunday,...

Related • • • Instead, it needs subtle refinement. Making the Z Fold 5 thinner when folded will help with its usability and hopefully lower the overall weight. The Honor Magic Vs actually feels heavier than the Z Fold 4 because it’s physically bulkier when, in reality, it’s basically the same in terms of weight. There’s something really pleasing about the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The phone’s girth may make it look more standard, but it doesn’t enhance the ergonomics. Samsung can retain the tall, thin look with the Z Fold 5, but if it can shave a hair off the thickness, it’ll change people’s perception of the phone’s size — not just when holding it, but visually too. There’s something really pleasing about the Galaxy Z Fold 4’s width. It’s comfortable to casually grip in a way the wider Magic Vs isn’t, and the flat sides make it really easy to open and close. These aspects don’t need to dramatically change — they just need to be refined so they get even better. It’s a similar story with the hinge, which has a fantastic motion and just the right level of dampening. What it needs is further refinement to the durability and perhaps a slight tweak to its stiffness when opening, but that’s all. Andy Boxall/Digital Trends I don’t think the design, shape, or hinge of the Galaxy Z Fold 4 are in need of a complete overhaul. When I used the Samsung has already made great strides forward with overall durability, providing an IPX8 water-resistance rating, and using its why it is better than ot...

Two-minute review Is it possible that we've reached the age of refinement in the foldable phone story? With the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, Samsung apparently hasn’t tried to reinvent the genre or radically alter the foldable’s display and design. Instead, this latest Galaxy Z device brings a number of small-but-welcome design enhancements over the Z Fold 3, plus a new processor and upgraded camera array. All of this adds up to a handset that’s lighter and thinner than its predecessor, and generally even better equipped to serve as a traditional, 6.2-inch Android 12 handset that just happens to pack an expansive, flexible 7.6-inch display inside. This is a do-everything device that presents few compromises. Yes, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is, when folded, noticeably thicker than your average smartphone (it’s nearly double the thickness of the Samsung Galaxy S22), and the cover screen is a little narrower than the displays on most Android handsets, but these are small prices to pay for a phone that’s productivity-friendly while being able to slip easily into a pocket when folded. Samsung has really leaned into the productivity possibilities via an update to its One UI software. Now, in addition to supporting multiple apps simultaneously (up to four at a time on screen, including one ‘floating window’), you have a new customizable app dock at the bottom of the screen, from which you can drag out apps to launch them. It even supports S Pen input, but more on that ‘yes, but with...
