Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 review

[@teresadalessio1]

Once my husband, a smart phone software developer, saw a prototype of this, 3 yrs ago, b4 it was officially in the works, he waited with bated breath for this. He passed away late February and never got the chance to use one. I just ordered one in his honor;maybe he's looking down at me smiling form maybe it'll make him come back to watch me use it. I know it doesn't matter, but he shared the appreciation for technology advances like the reviewer in this video.

[@Johnnyiswhere]

Awww...that's wonderful. So sorry to hear about your loss. I think he would be all smiles seeing you with one!

[@karabogafane4402]

Reviews everywhere keep saying it's affordable but in South Africa it costs an arm and leg. There's even exclusive launch parties with local influencers. Love the device though

[@allvid_]

So... Do you lose your leg or what now...?

[@shlomilahav8978]

People, before you buy a Samsung device, you should read what I write here: I bought a Samsung flagship device a year ago and miraculously, a few days after the device's warranty expired, the device's microphones burned out, the repair requires a screen replacement at a cost of $500. Unfortunately Samsung was not willing to test the device free of charge and certainly not fix it even though there is a serious bug in their devices.

[@mikkei2381]

well I've a lot of samsung devices and no problem with any of them. You caused the hardware issue there.

[@sammyt3514]

Thorough yet succinct and professionally produced review; brilliant!

[@lawren7615]

I have used the flip 4 for a couple of days great phone and it seems to make the apple loyalists envious.

[@Player-gv5lp]

use both new zflip and 13 pro.. no need to see another phone now 😂

[@mikldude9376]

I think the flip makes way more sense than the fold , The fold comes with a lot more compromises given the expectation it is supposed to be a power users device , but imo it has some very serious short falls for that particular title . The thing that worries me more about these devices is how long they will last , less so on the flip because it is more likely once the novelty factor wears off to be just that very nice convenient little device to keep on your person and use when the occasion arises , but not use it like a power user would . The fold on the other hand , early on samsung inferred it would be the replacement for the note , but imo other than having extra screen real estate it does fall short in certain areas i think . And for the reasons i mentioned regarding power users i still have my doubts about its (the fold 4) longevity with the folding screen .

[@thecutest23]

I am always happy about the apple eco system but i can't resist the flip 4 and grabbed one. I am enjoying it so far. The best thing is the battery. I thought it would be the same problem as what i heard with flip 3. The battery is the only thing that made me get this one because i heard so many negative review with flip 3 battery.

[@RFA1988]

Too many moving parts. Give us an update in 1-2 years

[@thecutest23]

@@RFA1988 maybe after a year or two there will be new phone or flip coming.

[@parthmalani6286]

How's the battery holding up for you?

[@glpzdmd9259]

Im still hoping the flip will have different sizes.. it will be so cute if we will get a 6inch flip..

[@rocfella]

I'm considering this phone, looks like a very comfortable phone. + perfect for shallow or small pockets, gym bag pockets + easier to pull it out of the pocket while sitting, u have more flexible hips + flex mode awesome for taking selfie photos when traveling alone + flex mode good for lying in bed and watching some youtube without trying to find something to lean phone against + flex mode good for browsing while phone on the table, no need to lean forward and over the phone + when folded answering a call automatically puts it on loud speaker, when u unfold it it changes to earphone + no need to always unlock and stare at the phone for notifications that can draw u in and u end up using the phone just too much + it's different - no dust protection - battery could be a bit better - cover screen could be bigger, some day will be

[@timothychinonso8770]

GSMArena what are you waiting for, please make a review on the Motorola razor 3 2022 and also compare it with z fold 4. Thank you

[@ambizytl]

I am surprised you didn't cover the new feature on cover screen: Direct Dial. I have the phone but it appears Direct Dial does not work.

[@peterheemskerk3182]

Yeah, I can’t find anywhere that they talk about this. I thought it was just me that couldn’t work out how to set it up

Over 1.3 TB of video, music and games on my old s9+... no money to Samsung till they get the storage problems fixed. How can a 9th gen galaxy have more storage than phones in 2022?

[@blackenedshroud2366]

See I've never had a foldable, but I love my s22 ultra... but I'm heavily considering the z flip 4. Maybe I'll wait and see what the zflip 5 will be like

[@hman6159]

I hope it will have at least a 4000 milliamp battery

[@divinusfilius3771]

I know you are doing the right thing for testing the device in all most common scenarios, including gaming, and we thank you for your thoroughness, but this baby, who ever gets it, didn't get it for gaming. Just like with PCs, there is only one category of machines, if geared towards a certain use scenario, can easily cover and perform in every other scenario, that of course being gaming. A gaming PC can do everything, from spreadsheets (who says spreadsheet now a days anyways?) to graphic design. My advice to anyone who wants an all-round smartphone is to focus on one's geared for gaming. It'll do everything. Lastly, same as for PCs, usually gaming device means big and fat, so I guess they aren't really meant for amazing portability. Look at this Z Flip wonder of a device though, this thing defines a whole new level of portability! Absolutely irresistible, to me anyway. 😁🍻🙏🤟

[@GuidingGear]

Nice! There are lots of new units in Samsung. I wonder which one is the best

[@divinusfilius3771]

Samsung definitely pawns everyine else in camera quality. They really are the best. Not just quality but in number of tools and built-in gadgetry within the camera app and hardware-wise. For comparison, iPhone is great too, always has been, but does not offer nearly as many camera tools.

[@user-hy2ry3if8h]

It sounds like Samsung throttles their device the prioritise battery endurance over gaming performance... Since you didn't unlock the phone to use external tools we cannot be 100% sure. Still - whole thing looks pretty amazing. My biggest worry is: how long before the crease wears out, buckles, bubbles etc? Once the screen is reliable I'd love one of those. It's a large break-through for all folks who need big screen due to work, health issues etc.

[@jackiekhoapham7804]

In my experience with Z Flip 3, around 6 months. But you can take it to Samsung center, they do free replacement.

Thank You for the review! I was wondering if anyone knows from experience, does this super low refresh rate (now as low as 1Hz/ 1 FPS) result in greater chance of burn-in issue? It scares me a little.

[@GFourGadget]

Sacrificing battery and camera for the form factor, is it really worth it? 🤔

[@Truesk8er1]

Yup. Innovation comes at a cost.

[@mikldude9376]

Yep , and you might also put a question mark next to longevity next to those two items , it seems far less innovative to me that a device we once took for granted would easily last 3,4, or 5 years and possibly more easily like a good quality slab phone , is being cast aside for something trendy with possibly built in obsolescence .

[@ron87rs]

Absolutely

[@naheem]

Has anyone noticed accubattery displays the z flip battery as 3300 mah and not the advertised 3700 mah

[@valeriedutson3299]

Is this phone compatible with 4G?

[@marcin_karwinski]

Well the question should not be which Flip version is best to get now, but rather whether the new RAZR from Mororola is the better choice once it's available world-wide...

[@bryannavarro1706]

hello, can anyone tell me if the flip 4 battery drains easily? I bought a flip 4 secondhand from someone and it drains quickly. if the flip 4 battery takes a long time to drain, does that mean the flip 4 battery I bought is broken, does that mean I should replace the battery? please suggest me

[@medoomedoo1634]

My dream phone full compact foldable, i'm just concerning the Display durability over time !

[@mikldude9376]

That is a valid concern , and it is a worry is for me that we are being herded into a scenario like sheep by samsungs marketing where incentives are offered every year to keep people buying a brand new folding device every single year , and samsung has a vested interest in doing this , for a start the moving parts like the hinge and the screen that folds and unfolds will have less time to fail , and likely less warranty claims for samsung . Too me it seems like clever marketing obsolescence. And this is not a problem i have with standard flagship slab phones that last 4 or 5 years easily without a worry .

[@karama300video]

I really like the concept of the phone but the screen is with limited life.

With the front screen, the selfie-taking experience is through the roof. I wonder if one day Z Flip will enlarge the front screen and get rid of the punch hole camera on the main screen. Honestly, the punch hole bothers me when I watch videos. Now I can't stand watching videos, especially netflix, on any small screen after I bought a Samsung Tab S7 FE.

Every year people review phones for their camera not the actual phone...you're buying a phone not a DLSR camera. Its like if the phone is great and feature rich, it will get shit on cause of not so great camera performance.

[@divinusfilius3771]

What pains me to see is due to average mass consumer not really knowing anything about audio quality, most MFGs have neglected investing another half a cent to up and include better Bluetooth audio streaming quality. This is so sad, and puzzling, since wireless Earbuds are Everywhere! My grandma is coming up with a pair of 5.3s....Jokes aside, this is SERIOUS, to me anyway. Having checked, iPhones stagnating the longest, being stuck at the very basic BT quality since forever to present moment, followed by not much better Samsung... only major smartphone MFG including any serious quality, such as formidable AptxHD, is Google's Pixel 7 Pro. ALL LG flagships, as they've been known for their top quality audio, have had pretty much support for all of the high-end BT audio streaming formats, including Sony's excellent LDAC and Qualcomm's AptxHD, etc. The difference in quality is so great, that even the mass consumer mule would not just notice it but be wowed by it. What makes this reality even gloomier, is the fact that Earbuds, from $20 ones from a corner store to "high-end" Bose total rip-off ones at $300+ DON'T HAVE the support for the before mentioned "HiFi" formats. AUCHHHH! this is madness I tell you, MADNESS! I'd rather stay on my brilliant LG G8 Thinq for another 5 years than get the Google Pixel - what a joke of a device. I know this is an old argument, but all the more solid - include a 4K, now even 8K camera capability, without any expandable storage, is a joke played on all of us. At least Samsung goes upto 1TB of built-in. Anyway. Thus concludes this rant 😁🍻🙏🤟

Please beware purchasing this flip phone. My wife's phone of 9 months is kaput. Very disappointing. The center fold line has swelled up and just gave way. In the last 9 months the phone was probably f;ipped oven less than 2k times and yet it gives way. Samsung's boast of 200k oepening and closing is a complete falacy. I hve enquired with other users and most have had to send back the phones for screen repairs. Good luck to people who are planning on acquiring this phone.
