Samsung’s new pocket foldable
In the world of folding mobiles there are two trends: mobiles that expand to have a larger size and those that contract to become tiny, like the old clamshell mobiles. Samsung has a model for each of these cases, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 being the latest representative of the school of pocket folds.
Unfolded, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 is not very different from any other current mobile, with a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2,640 x 1080 pixels and dynamic refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. The grace of the matter is that said screen is flexible so that we can fold it on itself and turn our mobile into a small square.
With the mobile folded, we can still interact with 1.9-inch secondary screenAMOLED and with a resolution of 260 x 512 pixels and that has learned a few new tricks in this generation: it can be customized with themes from the Galaxy store and/or adopt the same style as a home smartwatch, in addition to assist us better than ever to use the main cameras of the terminal to take selfies, with the mobile folded.
For photography, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 includes a 10-megapixel front camera with f/2.4 aperture that, obviously, we can only use when the terminal is unfolded. Behind, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 mounts a dual rear camera, with two 12 megapixel sensors, a wide angle and a super wide angle. In this generation Samsung adds an improved night photography, video stabilization and OIS. We can also use these cameras to take selfies, relying on the secondary screen.
Beyond millimeter changes in margins and dimensions, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 increases power by mounting a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 inside, with 8 GB of RAM and storage capacities to choose between 128, 256 or 512 GB.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 has a slightly larger battery than the previous generation, with 3,700mAh capacity and support for wireless charging and fast, wired, 25W charging, although the charger is not included in the box. It goes on sale with Android 12 with One UI 4.1.1, has IPX8 resistance certification and includes the fingerprint reader on one of its sides.
