This is great news for me since i dont wish the Fold/Flip to stop being made. Regarding the creases folks dont worry you simply cant see it when you watch something on it. What surprised me how durable it is too. My s8+ shattered so quickly even with the official case. The fold 3 and flip 3 fell badly on the ground a few times and nothing happened to it. No cases on these two. For those on the fence with the Fold 3 or the new 4: just get it. You wont regret it.

Genuinely don’t understand why people want a wider outside display. The whole point is that you can use it one-handed. If it was wider it would be far more awkward. Considering Most people use swipe and or voice to text needing a larger keyboard just doesn’t make sense. I feel wanting a Wider display is another one of those social things that people want because they’ve gotten used to it not because it’s practical

[@Cooe.]

The ≈25:9/≈24.5:9 Fold 2/3 cover screen's espectively were DEFINITELY too narrow, even for one-handed use, but the ≈23:9 Fold 4/5 cover display is IMO BASICALLY PERFECT!!! It was juuuust wide enough for comfortable typing (both one & two-handed), largely uniform display bezels, and mostly correct app rendering, but not wide enough to impact one-handed usability (both folded AND unfolded) or turn the interior tablet display into a straight up fucking "dogshit for watching widescreen media in landscape & dogshit for scrolling vertical app feeds in portrait" SQUARE ala the OnePlus Open or Oppo Find N/N2.

Oooh, this has me looking forward to the Fold 4! I have the Fold 3 and absolutely love it. I was also impressed at its durability after my phone was left unfolded on an electric burner that was turned on, cooking the entire front, taking off the cameras and cracking and burning through the front screen. After it cooled off, I turned it on for poops and giggles, and it came on and worked like nothing happened. I was able to use the interior display with no cracking, lagging, or loss of pixels or performance. That sold me right there and luckily, thanks to insurance, I am enjoying an intact 3 until it's time to upgrade to the 4. Never going back to standard phones again.

[@zuhairazreekarim9397]

how's the battery performance?

[@Ruminations09]

@@zuhairazreekarim9397 It's noticeable that it burns through battery faster than normal phones do (especially if - like me - you use the inner screen a lot) but the battery is still definitely big enough that it's higher power consumption doesn't become an issue. I fairly consistently end my days at about 15% charge - so it does get low - but I've never had it die on me. At long as you charge your phone every night, you should be totally fine.

[@michca2112]

@@zuhairazreekarim9397 I travel a lot for work, so if it is a longer flight, but I am too lazy to grab my batter pack, I keep it closed and use only the front screen. That actually stretches the battery life out quite a lot (from 100%, I was on it for most of the day either reading a book or on social media and it lasted until later in the evening). During normal days, I like to have the screen open, watch videos, read books, and play my games on the highest image quality, and have 3 or 4 windows open at a time. That burns through the battery faster, but it is a fair trade for the crispy, large display, smooth gameplay and enjoyment. It spoils you and has random people around you ask about it, because it is so different from any other phone in the US market.

Doing both of those at the same time was impossible, as there wasn't enough room for an easy fit. They needed to make the battery bigger FIRST w/ Flip 4, and THEN see what kind of cover display they could still fit in the phone w/ the now bigger battery for the Flip 5. Doing it sequentially like that was the only way to make absolutely SURE that everything would fit.

I was sitting in starbucks with a friend while we were playing some intensive diablo immortal yesterday. My friend is with his iphone 13 pro max while im using my z fold 4. Apparently, his 5G reception was really bad that he ended up using hotspot from my z fold 4 to play the game throughout. I thought that was really unfortunate since it was the supposedly best flagship phone from apple. I was a note 10 user to both z fold 3 and z fold 4 user right now. Btw, z fold 4 battery is a beast compared to the z fold 3. Way to go for the excellent improvement on the chip efficiency considering drawing power on a large screen. Didnt regret one bit.

[@Hyperion_40k]

I've researched the fold more than any other phone ever and I still have a hard time upgrading to it despite desperately wanting one. The ultra phones are better because they have a built-in spen, bigger battery, 45w charging, and better cameras. If you can get past that the fold doesn't have a dust rating, I don't think its water protection claims hold up long term and the screen protectors start to peel around 8 months in on the last version. Still, the utility of both phones is amazing with the fold slightly beating the ultra in that department.

[@thegamingwolf5612]

The s pen thing I fixed by sticking a ringke band to my phone works decent enough but yeah I would rather have it in the fold it self

[@jahayrac8636]

If it helps any, I purchased the Fold 3 as an upgrade to my Note 9. I was concerned with the smaller outer screen at first but I honestly use it a ton. Plus, I really like how easy it is to hold the whole thing in my hand and it makes texting with Swype so much easier to reach all the buttons. I don't have very small hands but they're certainly not as large as some people who are taller than me. And with my Note 9 I had to dock my keyboard to one side and minimize its size just so that I could reach all the buttons. I only use the inner screen for entertainment and when I need to use multiple screens to get stuff done. Additionally, I hybridized a case so that I can carry my Spen, have a kickstand and have a card slot for ID and MetroCard. And honestly, it's become the best thing ever. Especially when coupled with a Bluetooth folding keyboard. I also added a button remapper app that allows me to set short keys for some touch functions. Now I can easily go from typing on the front screen to typing and using short keys on the inner screen. Some days I honestly forget that I have a Tab S7+ and can use a bigger screen. I carry a small portable charger that I can pop in in the late afternoon, or early evening if needed. I still wish the front screen supported the Spen though. I think once it does then maybe Samsung will decide to add the spen into the phone. Still, I actually use the Samsung Notes app more now with the Fold 3 than I did with the Note 9 due to comfort and space. As wide as my Note 9 was, it still always felt a bit cramped and more so with a thin stylus. I've also accidentally dropped my Fold 3 in my shower once and it was thankfully just fine. I just had to wait to make sure the ports dried out in order to charge it again. It has been sprayed, dripped, touched with wet fingers, or rained on a bit and still manages to deal with the humidity of my hot showers. It's been fine so far. I'm not a big photography person for portraits, mostly stills of scenery or data, but photos have been okay with this phone. I don't like that the camera seems to only focus on the center of the images and leaves the edges slightly blurred when taking regular photos. I find it annoying when taking photos of documents or when I need the full frame in focus. I find that I still like my Note 9 camera better as everything in the shot is in focus. I haven't noticed if there's been an update to the camera since I first noticed it back in December 2021, I think I just decided not to care as much then. I hope this helps add to your research if you're still considering the Z Fold 4. Edit: I also purchased my phone as a bundle with the Watch Classic 46mm and Buds 2 in November 2021 for $1399. The deal was so good I jumped on it even if I already had a pair of buds (the new ones made great gift) and the watch was bigger than I wanted. But it looks great on my small wrist and the screen size is wonderful so I think I was pretty lucky that I didn't have a choice. It might be worth considering to wait for the price drops near Black Friday if you don't want to trade in a phone for a discount.

I own a Samsung Gear S3 Frontier watch and, to be honest, none of the new features of Samsung's smartwatches seem like a good reason to upgrade. The lack of new apps mean that an upgrade would only be nice if I was looking for very precise exercise and sleep tracking, but as I only use my watch for notifications, it would be meaningless to me. The only other smartwatch that seems to be advancing is the Apple Watch, mainly because of the app support from developers.
