We
managed to take a quick sneak peek of the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold phones and
we'll share with you what you think so far.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: Review & Specification
Design
In
terms of design. There's not a lot of changes between the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and
the Z Fold 3, so you really can't tell the difference between the two right off
the bat. Perhaps even quite similar to the Z Fold 2 as well. Nevertheless,
Samsung made it lighter by 17gm, down from 154gm and a bit thinner at 15.8 mm
when folded. The overall dimensions have been shaved off a bit,
Display
Display
sizes remain the same that's the 6.2 inch HD plus AMOLED on the outer display with
120Hz refresh rate and 7.6 inch QXGA plus AMOLED main or inner display with the
same 120Hz refresh rate, pretty much the same as the Z Fold 3.
However,
the main difference here is the aspect ratio due to the fact that they made the
main display 3mm wider and the outer display 2.3mm wider. So in a way they made
the phone a bit shorter and wider, making sure they retain the display sizes
but with a different screen aspect ratio.
Protection
The
outer screen is protected with Gorilla Glass Victor Plus at the front and also
at the back with an armor aluminum body. While the main screen still uses
Infinity Flex display screen brightness has also been improved from 900m to
1000x, so you'll get better screen visibility when using it in the outdoors.
The
Galaxy Z Fold for also retains the same IPX8 rating for dust and water
resistance of up to 1.5 meters and in 30 minutes
Performance
powering
the Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the new Snapdragon 8plus Gen1 chipset with 12GB of Ram and
a standard storage capacity of 256GB or 512GB.There is an online only exclusive
variant of 1TB storage which you can get via Samsung.com. Expect the device to
be blazing fast with this configuration and from the short time we've been
using it while running multiple apps and playing games such as Genshin Impact, the
phone is battery smooth and everything you'd expect it to be.
Interface
The
Galaxy Z Fold 4 runs on Android 12 with
one UI four one that introduced some refinements in the interface, including a
new taskbar floating from the bottom of the screen.
S Pen
There
is style support for the s pen, but still no built in slot for it on the
device, so you'll have to settle with this special S Pen case for now.
Battery
Battery
capacity remains to be the same at 4400mAh, but it's got a 25 watt fast
charging capability, wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.
Connectivity
When
it comes to connectivity, the Galaxy Z Fold 4 supports 5G, 4 G LTE, Wi-Fi 6,
Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, NFC, dual Nano SIM plus and ESM support. There's no microSD
card expansion slot here.
Still,
the fingerprint sensor is side mounted along with the power button.
Camera
There's
some significant upgrades done on the camera setup of the Galaxy Z Fold 4,
starting with a 50MP main wide lens, another 12MP ultra wide and a 10MP space
zoom lens with 3x optical zoom and 3D X space zoom that's just on the rear
camera. There's also the 10MP front camera in the exterior and another 4MP
under display camera inside the fold. You won't really notice that under
display camera until you fired up in the SLP.
Color
When
the phone is unfolded, new colors are available for the default for this time.
That's phantom black, gray, green and beads, which is a Samsung.com exclusive.
Durability
One of the main concerns with the previous foldable phone from Samsung is its durability and some of the improvements done with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 has somewhat addressed that. The new hinge design has been engineered to last longer, which guarantees over 200,000 repetitive folds as tested in the laboratory, and they even showed a demo of how it's done in our product tours.
