The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is one of the best folding smartphones you can buy in 2022. Simultaneously, it’s also one of the most boring compared to its predecessor. It’s a fascinating place for the foldable niche to already be. Over the span of only three years, foldables have gone from a breakthrough niche to “just another” smartphone option you can buy. Samsung, specifically, has already gotten so good at the folding formula that Related • • • Joe Maring/Digital Trends If you’ve seen the Samsung made a handful of design improvements this year, starting with the Flip 4’s aesthetics. The rear glass panels have a frostier, matte finish compared to the Flip 3, the frame is flatter, and the hinge holding the phone together is slightly smaller than before. On paper, these changes sound like peanuts. But in practice, they take the Flip 3’s already excellent design and make it even better. The matte glass panels feel luxurious while hiding fingerprints, the flat frame gives the Z Flip 4 an even more distinctive look, and the new hinge — as marginal as it is — does give the Flip 4 a smaller overall footprint. Joe Maring/Digital Trends Speaking of the hinge, it feels every bit as sturdy and reliable as it did on the Flip 3. Like that phone, It opens and closes smoothly, though with enough resistance that it doesn’t feel flimsy. The hinge is also strong enough to be propped up at almost any angle, allowing you to sit the Z Flip 4 on a table with the screen up and facing at you — p...

Even though it’s not much different from last year, and there’s still room for improvement, I genuinely like this phone a lot — but not for the reasons I thought I would. I really like taking pictures with it, even though the cameras are just kinda average. It’s also less attention-hungry than most smartphones. It’s much easier to read a notification on the tiny cover screen, dismiss it, and move on with my life than with a traditional slab-style phone. I appreciate that, even if Samsung did this by accident. The Flip 4 is compact, but I wouldn’t call it a small phone. When you actually need to do something with it, nine times out of 10, you have to open it, and then the jig is up: it’s a certified Big Phone. But it does fit comfortably into the front pocket of my jeans when it’s folded, which is handier than I expected. The things that made the Flip 3 good are still good here: there’s robust waterproofing, an excellent main screen, and a $999 price tag — high, but not astronomically high like the $1,799 Fold 4. But whether or not you should snap it up depends on what you’re looking for. Most people, I suspect, will want the version of this device that’s (hopefully) coming next: something with a bigger, more useful cover screen and a slimmer profile. Right now, it’s both an incredible little device that I’m very tempted to buy for myself and one that falls short of its full potential. Samsung made some subtle cosmetic changes that give the Flip 4 a little bit of a differen...

Not every year can be a revolution. Sometimes, it's just better to tweak the current formula to get it a little bit better. That's essentially what Samsung has done with this year's Galaxy Z Flip 4. The fourth generation Flip debuts in a sleeker, lighter, slightly smaller, and stronger form factor, without breaking the mold of what users have come to expect from the famous flippable phone. More specifically, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 follows up last year's hit flip phone with a shinier, more squared-off design that looks closer to what a Galaxy S22 foldable might. But the I got a chance to go hands-on with the Galaxy Z Flip 4 at a press event in New York City, and came away with plenty of photos and impressions of the (Image credit: Nicholas Sutrich / Android Central) Samsung is offering more colors and styles than ever with the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Upon seeing the Galaxy Z Flip 4 for the first time, my eyes lit up at its incredibly shiny and glitzy design. Samsung is doubling down on style with the Flip 4, debuting boxier edges that mimic the style of the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus, completing the pseudo-iPhone look with incredibly shiny finishes in gold and silver. More subdued tones are available as well, and a total of 75 different color combinations can be chosen when you order a special Bespoke Edition Galaxy Z Flip 4 from Samsung’s website. During the session, Samsung took me on a tour of its newest facility in New York City's Chelsea district, which included an impressive secti...
