Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 5G (2022)

Flatter design looks and feels fantastic Bespoke customization is unmatched Excellent main display Blazing fast performance Good, fun cameras

Battery still only lasts a day Limited cover screen functionality

“The Galaxy Z Flip 4 may not be a revolutionary year-over-year upgrade, but it stands tall as one of the best folding smartphones you can buy in 2022. It's sleeker, faster, and more reliable than ever.”

Compact foldable smartphone, not insanely priced.

Heavily throttles under 100% CPU/GPU load.

The fourth generation Z Flip is moving the series into a bright future, and it does everything right with the technology it has at its disposal. We are recommending it to people who'd like to own a unique phone, small, and yet powerful and capable; to...

Standout design ; Better battery life than previous model ; Excellent cellular reception ; Useful front screen

Less-capable cameras than other premium phones ; Gaming performance throttles quickly

Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 4 feels as premium as ever, and its all-important-yet-diminutive front screen keeps you focused on the world around you.

Beautifully engineered phone ; Great for content creators/solo travelers ; Flex Mode is *chef’s kiss* ; Compact and pocketable ; Decent battery life (relative to other foldables)

Boring upgrades ; Gets warm quickly ; Power button annoyingly invokes Bixby

Cannot open with one hand ; Crease is still very much there ; $1,000 price might be too high for some ; Front screen is still too tiny

Amazing form factor ; Incredibly small and handy ; Improved durability and IPX8 rating ; 120Hz AMOLED screen is shiny ; Great improvement in battery life

A dragon on a leash (limited performance) ; No telephoto camera ; Slow charging solutions

In my initial review of the Galaxy Z Flip 4, I posed a prompt question: "What would occur if Samsung faced stiff competition in the foldable smartphone category?" My thoughts haven't changed on this, but now I know that Motorola has invested in the...

Unique and beautiful design ; Powerful software ; Fantastic camera

Crease takes getting used to ; Very pricey

This phone is unique yet stunning in design, featuring powerful software to fully utilise the folding function and extra screen face. It houses Samsung's powerful camera specs and has an impressive battery life that will last you the day, making it a...

Equipped with the new and lightning fast Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. Available in the Bespoke edition with 75 possible colour combinations on the front, back and frame.

More or less the same camera as both predecessors. The 3700 mAh battery struggles to hold power for a full day. Lacks optical zoom.
