Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 hasn't changed much, but in terms of appearance design, core performance, camera and battery life, it solves the major flaws of the previous generation models and should help convince anyone.
It is fair to say that Galaxy Z Flip4 has not undergone a large-scale upgrade. Perhaps it can be understood in this way that Z Flip4 is a relatively small upgrade, more of iteration than innovation.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 Review Begins:
Appearance Design
Let's figure out the obvious first: Z Flip4 looks very much like Z Flip3.
Galaxy Z Flip4 is very close to the exterior design of the previous model, so you get a compact foldable screen phone that folds into a small square with two tones of finish on the outside, partially covering the shell display.
has undergone some changes. The main body of the phone is now matte, not glossy, and its edges have been cleverly smoothed. The cover display is basically unchanged, but the camera lens is now protruding a little from the body.
A larger change can be found in the hinge, and although smaller and more subtle, the creases displayed are less noticeable.
However, Samsung has not caught up with competitors like Huawei P50 Pocket, which can be completely closed, and Z Flip4 will still leave a little gap when it closes.
display
Dual display is an area that Samsung has not changed in nature, besides the aforementioned hinge improvements and some new software tips for the cover display, the home screen is 6.7-inch, 120Hz AMOLED. Samsung said this is technically different from last year’s panel, but the improvement is mainly for energy efficiency rather than display quality.
6.7 inches means the Galaxy Z Flip4 is as compact as it was when it was opened, and although it is thinner and lighter than almost any other phone with the same size screen, it is still a big phone.
screen is bright and clear, but to be fair, you can find better display quality in a tablet phone with similar prices. The cover of
.9 inches is more split. I love this tiny monitor, which is hidden in the design when not using and provides plenty of room for some simple controls for the rest of the time.
core performance
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 is equipped with a powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. Compared with the previous generation of Snapdragon 888, this phone has a performance improvement of one and a half generations.
is limited to 8GB of running memory, which can be said to be slightly disappointing, and the shape also limits the cooling plate that can be stuffed into a larger area. This means that the phone will be a little hot when performing more demanding tasks and has a slightly behind the fastest Snapdragon 8+ phones, but this isn't exactly a device for advanced users.
For daily use, Galaxy Z Flip4 is very smooth, and only the most demanding gamers will complain about performance.
camera
What is a bit disappointing is that there is no telephoto lens here, and the back of the Galaxy Z Flip4 model is only equipped with a 12MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens. There is a 10MP selfie camera on the front.
When it comes to camera, the only real change to is the main camera, which comes with a new, larger image sensor that can capture more light. In bright sunlight, this camera is better than the previous generations, while in low light, the difference is more obvious.
Although the hardware is relatively limited, Galaxy Z Flip4 can shoot 4k videos. I suspect Samsung really considers the people who like to shoot videos and post TikTok.
battery
Compared with the previous 3300mAh battery, the battery capacity of the Galaxy Z Flip4 model has increased to 3700mAh. With a larger battery and the more energy-saving chip of , the battery life of the Galaxy Z Flip4 model is quite good.
I have been using my phone for two days. I have been browsing Douyin videos, checking Baidu information, and then chatting on WeChat, and reading online novels. Basically, when I was about to go to bed at 10 o'clock in the evening, there was still 30-40% of the battery left in my phone. However, the 25W charging is very slow and it takes about 90 minutes to fully charge.
is excellent, but there are 3 points I can't tolerate
Galaxy Z Flip4 is not a perfect foldable screen phone, but it is undoubtedly one of the best foldable products on the global market at present. For example, in terms of appearance design, display screen, camera, etc., there are more or less improvements compared to previous generations.
If you look at it overall, Galaxy Z Flip4 is still excellent, but there are 3 points I can't tolerate. First, there are still questions about the durability of ; second, the charging of 25W is very slow; third, there is no telephoto lens.
