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

“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

Throttles under heavy load ; Visible crease ; Screen isn't polarized
