Design and Display
On the surface, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 looks very similar to its predecessor. However, on closer observation, you will see some refinements. You still get a 6.7-inch foldable display, but the bezels are now slimmer for a more premium look.
The 6.7-inch Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with 1080 x 2640 pixels resolution features a similar adaptive refresh rate as the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, with a refresh rate ranging from as low as 1Hz to up to 120Hz, depending on your current view.
The adaptive refresh rate promises improved battery performance by using just about the right refresh rate required for the optimal viewing experience. You also get HDR10+ and up to 1200 nits brightness for a great viewing experience.
The front of the Samsung phone is covered in transparent plastic to accommodate the folding. You also get armored aluminium frames with the back covered in Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+. The hinge is covered in the same tough aluminium.
The smartphone is available in numerous colors, including Bora Purple, Graphite, Pink Gold, Blue, Yellow, White, Navy, Khaki, and Red.
You get two rings for the two rear cameras with the 1.9-inch Super AMOLED cover display, which comes in handy for notifications. The cover display can also be used to take selfies with the rear cameras for a better result. It retains the same 260 x 512 pixels resolution as the Flip3. It is covered in the same Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ as the rest of the back.
IPX8 Water Resistance
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 offers an IPX8 rating for water resistance. It can survive for up to 30 minutes in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water.
The tough aluminium frame and hinge, as well as the Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+, make the device durable.
The Cameras
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 5G features a somewhat similar camera setup to the Flip3. You get two 12-megapixel sensors on the back and a 10-megapixel sensor in the front.
The main camera, though still 12 megapixels, has been upgraded to let in more light for an improved low-light performance. This is a wide-angle lens with an 83˚ FoV and f/1.8 aperture. The camera also offers Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and dual-Pixel Phase Detection Autofocus.
The main camera is supported by a 12MP ultrawide wide-angle lens, which is exactly the same as the one provided for the 2021 Flip. You can record 4K videos. Slow-motion recording is also supported with the smartphone’s camera, offering 960fps for 720p HD video recording.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 sports the same selfie camera as its predecessor. You get a 10 megapixel wide-angle camera with support for 4K ultra HD recording.
Hardware and Software
Compared to its predecessor as well as Samsung’s other 2022 flagships like the Galaxy S22, the Galaxy S22 Plus, and the Galaxy S22 Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 5G features an upgraded chipset.
The Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4 nm) octa-core chipset features a tri-cluster architecture with a single-core Cortex-X2, a tri-core Cortex-A710, and a quad-core Cortex A510 clocked at 3.19GHz, 2.75GHz, and 1.8GHz, respectively.
The premium Android phone offers 8GB RAM with the option of 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB built-in storage. It features no memory card slot, similar to iPhone models like the iPhone X and iPhone XR, as well as the more recent iPhone 13 Pro Max.
This Android phone offers an improved battery capacity from 3300 mAh to 3700 mAh. It also offers faster charging capacity from 15W to 25W. However, you have to buy the charger separately as there is no charger in the box. The smartphone supports 15W wireless charging as well as 4.5W reverse wireless charging.
You get Android 12 with One UI 4.1.1 out of the box.
Connectivity
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 5G sports a USB Type-C Port (USB 2.0) for fast charging and wired communications. While it comes with the USB cable, the charger is not provided in a box. Bluetooth 5.2 with LE and A2DP, as well as NFC, is provided for wireless connectivity. This device lacks a 3.5mm audio jack.
The smartphone supports 5G connectivity for superfast downloads, uploads, and streaming. You also get Wi-Fi 6 and dual-band Wi-Fi.
