The phone’s two screens make its battery life more variable than a regular phone. The Fold 4 is super snappy and smooth with Qualcomm’s latest top processor, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which is the most powerful chip available on Android, as used by the Flip 4 and the OnePlus 10T. Water resistance: IPX8 (1.5 metres for 30 minutes)ĭimensions unfolded: 155.1 x 130.1 x 6.3mm

Operating system: One UI 4.1 based on Android 12LĬamera: 50MP wide, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x telephoto 10MP and 4MP selfie camerasĬonnectivity: 5G, dual sim, esim, USB-C, wifi 6E, NFC, Bluetooth 5.2 Main screen: 7.6in QXGA+ 120Hz Amoled flexible display (374ppi)Ĭover screen: 6.2in HD+ 120Hx Amoled (387ppi) The main display is great for videos, games, reading sites and books, or multitasking with two or more apps open at the same time. The hinge holds the display open at any angle, shutting with a satisfying snap. The under-display camera is slightly better hidden, too, so you won’t see it day-to-day unless specifically looking for it. It would be better if it wasn’t there but you won’t notice it within a few minutes of using the device.
There’s still a crease along the fold, which you can feel with your finger and see at an angle. Samsung says the screen is 45% more durable than last year but I would still keep it away from children as it simply isn’t as robust as traditional hardened glass. The display is big, bright, smooth and feels slightly harder under your finger than the first version. Open it like a book for the large, tablet-sized 7.6in flexible OLED screen, still very much a quasi-magical experience. It feels more like a regular phone for messaging and calls when closed, albeit a chunkier and heavier one. The device is shorter and the hinge is thinner, making the outside screen wider.
The metal sides are flatter with a premium, lustrous finish. The general look is similar to last year’s first version, with small refinements all round. The bleeding-edge tech makes the Fold 4 one of the most expensive devices you can buy at £1,649 ($1,799/A$2,499) – roughly the same price if you bought a premium phone and a tablet separately but more than most should ever pay for a pocket computing device. Its folding form, five cameras and two screens should tell you this isn’t a normal phone, instead being the most advanced glimpse at the evolution of the humble smartphone. But the price means it is not ready yet for most consumers. Samsung’s cutting-edge Galaxy Z Fold 4 Android phone-tablet hybrid is back and here to prove that folding devices are the future.īy putting both a powerful smartphone and 7.6in tablet in your pocket, Samsung has created the device of choice for gadget lovers. Refined phone-tablet hybrid is better all round – but still a gadget-lover’s dream and not for the mass market
