Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Hands-On: More powerful and improved battery

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a relative change in appearance. This year we have a vertical folding smartphone with a more square design, a bit stronger instead of towards femininity like the previous Flip 3. Samsung Z Flip 4 will be suitable for both men and women.

Samsung has perfected the hinge, and the entire frame of the device is thinner, so it looks more beautiful and luxurious. In addition to the design, most of the features remain unchanged, mainly updated with some new gems for the daily experience.

Square design, thinner and more beautiful hinges, and frames

Ignoring the specifications, the overall appearance or size of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has not changed too much compared to the previous generation. We still have a vertical folding phone with the same length and width when folded, the two rear cameras are placed vertically to the right of the secondary screen.

The biggest difference as we said is that when folding the device, the hinge of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 has been completed more compactly, less protruding out. At the same time, the metal frame is also designed to be thinner, making room for two glass backs, which partly enhances the beauty and increases the elegance of the device. Personally, we like this new design.

The entire border around the handset has also been designed in a flat and glossy form instead of curved and rough lines. In general, Samsung Flip 4 has a more square, the powerful design aimed at unisex, not just positioned as a smartphone for women.

The right side of the device includes the volume up and down buttons and the power button integrated with a one-touch fingerprint.

The only left edge is the SIM tray. When folding the device, the two upper and lower parts of the device still have a gap, Samsung has not changed that according to the trend of the companies that are. Basically, this does not affect the machine experience much.

The bottom edge includes a microphone, external speaker, and type C port. In general, the layout of the keys or the connection port of the machine has not changed.

The secondary screen remains the same size but with additional features

The secondary screen still has a size of 1.9″ with a Super AMOLED panel, 60Hz refresh rate, and the same design as the previous generation. However, users can do more with it, such as adding more widgets, creating personalized AR emojis, replying to instant messages, and saving 3 phone numbers to make calls from the screen.

A durable home screen increased protection

The main screen of the Galaxy Z Flip4 is still infinity-O, with a size of 6.7″, using Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels, supporting Full HD + resolution. As shown in the picture, there is no difference if viewed from the screen of the device in use.

There is a small change in parameters, similar to the Galaxy S22 series, the screen of the device will also support automatically changing the refresh rate from 1-120Hz, instead of from 10-120Hz as before. This automatic feature will help the device save more energy, suitable for each display content.

The screen is more durable, with increased protection with Gorilla Glass Victus+, and IPX8 water resistance.

In the Samsung Galaxy Flip 4, the Flex Mode feature will be compatible with more applications, and users can do more things with it, such as using the bottom half of the screen to hover.

Same camera but changes sensor parameters

We still have two rear cameras with the same 12MP resolution and a front camera with 10MP resolution. However, the main camera is raised to a 1.8µm pixel sensor instead of 1.4µm. In theory, this change will help the device be able to capture better light and take sharper images.

Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with an additional 512GB version

As a new flagship, Galaxy Z Flip4 is equipped with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, which is understandable. A top chip brings high performance to the handset, more than enough for multi-tasks and gaming. Therefore, the performance of the handset is undisputed.

The Galaxy Z Flip4 has 8GB LPDDR5 RAM and optional internal memory from 128GB to 512GB. This year, Samsung added a 512GB version, suitable for users who prefer to use a phone with a lot of internal memory.

Battery upgraded to 3,700mAh and 25W fast charging

More battery and faster charging are key upgrades in the Galaxy Z Flip4. Galaxy Z Flip users have now been satisfied when Flip4 has had a battery upgrade to 3,700mAh. It is not known how much longer the battery life will last, but this is also a good sign. Besides the larger battery, the device also supports faster charging with 25W.
