The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 features a slimmer hinge mechanism, a lighter weight, and mostly the same design aesthetics as the Galaxy Z Flip 3 from 2021. The sides are flat, and come with brighter colors, depending on the color you pick up. When unfolded, it feels like a standard device, and it features roughly the same dimensions as the previous model.

There aren’t any significant upgrades over the design, but the sides are brighter and shinier thanks to the new coating that Samsung uses to make it stand out. We’ll let you decide if this is good or bad, but we’re a fan of the new minimal changes.

Display

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 still sports the same 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, which supports 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and it even has the same resolution. The good thing is that the display now supports adaptive refresh rate, which should improve the battery life, and it should also be more enjoyable while using the phone.The cover screen was previously rumored to be larger, but that too is the same 1.9-inch Super AMOLED display that could be found on the previous device. It also sports the same resolution panel, but the software can now show even more stuff on it to make it even more useful.

The crease in the middle of the screen is still there, but it’s less noticeable, thanks to the new hinge mechanism. The Flip 4’s cover screen can still act as a viewfinder for taking selfies using the primary or ultrawide cameras on the back.

Samsung says that the camera on the Flip 4 comes with a 65% brighter sensor, powered by the latest Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. It can take even better and brighter photos in low-light and at night. Regarding the sensors themselves, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 houses a 12MP f/1.8 primary sensor, and a 12MP f/2.2 ultra-wide. There’s also a 10MP f/2.4 selfie camera on the main display. Samsung promises better images and video recording in all lighting environments, but we’ll have to take it for a spin to see the results for ourselves.

Battery

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 comes with a 3,700 mAh battery capacity, the same cell used in the Galaxy Z Flip 3 last year. Even though it’s the same capacity, it’s worth pointing out that the device is powered by the more efficient Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC, which means that it should – in theory – outlast the previous generation. The device still only supports 25W fast wired charging, but Samsung says it’s now even quicker and can go from 0-50% in just 30 minutes. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 supports Fast Wireless Charging 2.0, and reverse wireless charging, also known as Wireless PowerSshare.
