“The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is less compromised, more powerful, and more durable than its predecessors. The battery struggles to keep up with its ability, but otherwise, it's one of the very best smartphones you can buy today.”

Usable cover screen, Excellent multitasking features, Inner screen is great for games and video, Reliable and fun camera, Water resistant and durable materials

Heavy use kills the battery, Slow charging

Samsung has pushed the limits of what Android hardware should be for years now. From devices like the Note and its first launch to today with its foldable devices, Samsung pioneers the future.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is a carefully considered upgrade that addresses the greatest concerns of its predecessor and improves the design, performance and user experience in almost every way.

Improved rear camera, Slimmer and lighter than predecessor, Excellent performance, Wider aspect ratio makes it more comfortable to wield

No integrated SPen stylus, Not cheap

Samsung's Z Fold 4 is a stellar device, and I've been over the moon happy with being able to use a foldable again. With high-quality productivity, multi-tasking, a slightly lighter build and a good camera, this handset is definitely an improvement

The camera is an absolute unit, Wider aspect ratio Cover display, Taskbar of champions

Still hefty, Battery is meh, Over $2000 in Canada

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 follows in its predecessor's footsteps and is mostly for those who have inherited a rich uncle while needing unique mobile productivity.

Lightning-fast and well-made foldable smartphone with top-shelf configuration. Improved camera and more usable format thanks to Android 12L.

Very, very expensive. Really crappy battery life.

Samsung’s Fold series has come a long way since its disastrous debut, which saw the first-generation model all but fall apart in my hand. Having spent a week with the Galaxy Z Fold 4, it’s clear that this is the most refined version of the foldable phone yet.

Smart UI tweaks, Camera no longer an issue, The form factor really does work

Lack of apps making true use of the big inner screen limits usefulness, Crease and thick body remain from the previous iteration, Price still puts it out of reach for most

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is a refined foldable with improved durability, great performance and pixel-perfect cameras, but it doesn’t do much differently to its predecessor. Minor changes could attract if you were on the fence, but bigger upgrades from competing foldables leave the Z Fold 4 in the...

Large 7.6in display is great for multitasking, Hugely improved rear camera setup, All-day battery life, New software enhancements via Android 12L

Still a gap between displays when folded, Under display camera is bad, App support is hit-and-miss, 25W charging is slow in 2022

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is a welcome update that moves this folding phone into a flagship space with boosted power and new cameras. This remains the big screen folding phone of choice, with software support for wider usage of the display and plenty of quality in all areas.

Narrower bezels, Flagship cameras, Loads of power, S Pen compatible, Undeniable 'cool' factor

No S Pen storage, Charging speeds remain average at best, It's really expensive, Internal display drains battery quite quickly

Here we are, with the fourth-generation Galaxy Z Fold from Samsung. And honestly, it’s not a huge change from the Galaxy Z Fold 2, released two years ago. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as Samsung is working to iterate and perfect this form factor before making drastic changes.

Super bright display, Lighter than its predecessor, Slight changes in dimensions makes it easier to handle, Android 12L is a huge upgrade here, Cover Screen is wider and easier to use

Battery life isn't the best, Slow charging, Costly, There's still a crease

At first glance the Galaxy Z Fold 4 isn't particularly different to the outgoing Z Fold 3. But then this isn't really an 'upgraders' phone in my view. Since using the newer Fold for a fortnight I've found the marginally different aspect ratios make both screens – whether the exterior in folded...

Slightly better screen aspect ratio screens than predecessor, It's a lot like a phone and a tablet rolled into one, New Taskbar functionality for enhanced use-cases, Camera improvements over its predecessor

Wait until you see the price, Under-display camera is still too visible, S Pen stylus isn't integrated – and sold separately, Screen creases and reflections unavoidable with folding tech
