The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is Samsung's latest attempt to grab your attention, and after going through the spec sheet, there is a fair bit here worth talking about. Announced in 2022, August 10, it arrives at a time when the competition is as tight as ever.
Design & Display
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 comes with a 7.6 inches, 183.2 cm 2 (~90.9% screen-to-body ratio) display, pushing a resolution of 1812 x 2176 pixels (~373 ppi density), and in real-world use it looks bright, crisp and easy on the eyes. It is not trying to reinvent the wheel with its design, but it does look the part. You can pick it up in a few finishes, including Graygreen.
Performance & Software
Under the hood you will find the Qualcomm SM8475 Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4 nm), paired with 12GB of RAM. That combination should handle day-to-day multitasking and most games without breaking a sweat. It runs Android 12L, up to 4 major OS updates, One UI 6.1.1 out of the box, so the software experience feels current.
Camera
The camera setup is one of the talking points here, with a 50 MP sensor doing the heavy lifting. It is not a pro camera rig, but for everyday memories it gets the job done nicely.
Battery
Battery duties are handled by a Li-Po 4400 mAh unit. With moderate use you can expect to end the day with charge to spare.
