Galaxy Z Fold 4
Pros
- Lighter design with a slim hinge
- Bright, radiant display
- New taskbar significantly improves multitasking
- Includes upgraded 50-megapixel camera
Cons
- Expensive
- Under-display camera is just 4-megapixel
- Crease is still visible
Samsung has made vital improvements to its latest Galaxy Z Fold – so much so that you might wonder why all phones didn’t incorporate tablet functionality. The device brings multitasking right to your fingertips, so that you’ll never miss your laptop or desktop. Using the latest Android 12L feature drop, which is optimised for foldable devices, this smartphone also has a new taskbar that makes switching between apps smooth and easy. Its brighter 7.6-inch main display and 50-megapixel primary camera are inspired additions to a light, slim device. However, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 remains a very expensive phone. But if you’re replacing a PC or tablet with this single device, it may be well worth the purchase.
On Amazon, you can also order it as a bundle with the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 Pro Smart Watch.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4

This year’s Galaxy Z Flip 4 seems to be a more polished version of last year’s model. With a slimmer, lighter hinge and flatter edges, its design has undoubtedly improved. The Flip 4’s clamshell folding design is still a draw for those who appreciate these newer, trendier phones. It’s also smaller, with slimmer bezels, so it slips easily into pockets and the palm of your hand. The phone’s screen is a 6.7-inch Full HD+ panel that offers great visual quality. It comes with an IPX8 water resistance rating – considered unusual for foldable phones, but much appreciated. The Flip 4 also takes advantage of Android 12 tech, and Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor. However, the hinge gap between the two displays is quite prominent when the phone is folded, which can be a serious downside.
As with the Fold 4, you can also buy this phone bundled with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 on Amazon.
