The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 takes anything you can throw at it without flinching. The new persistent options allow users to always have access to UI interactions that can be hidden in other large phones or tablets. The Android 12L additions are welcome and something that Android has needed for some time. To the far right of the dock are the traditional Samsung Recents, Home, and Back navigation buttons. Here you get your pinned favorites on the far left of the part and then the last 2-3 most recent apps to the right of those icons. This adds the persistent taskbar while in multi-task mode and honestly makes the Fold feel more like a desktop while using the larger inside display. Part of this investment was pushed to the Fold 4 with the OTA update for Android 12L while I had the unit. In the meantime, Samsung has made the software as friendly as you’d expect for the Fold 4 experience. I’d love to see these tweaks make it to all apps, but that will take time and developer buy-in. The flexible 7.6-inch inside screen sports a resolution of 2176×1812 with the display taking up the entire footprint save a hidden selfie camera. The smaller of the two is a 6.2-inch screen with 2316×904 resolution under a Gorilla Glass Victus display. The dual-screened Fold 4 contains an exterior cover screen and the larger full-size tablet mode. Having the ability to have both a slim candy bar phone and a small tablet in your pocket still makes my nerd heart happy. Much like our review of the previous generation, this modern marvel really gives you a one-of-a-kind Android experience. This is still the business end and innovation you want when shopping for the Fold 4. Lastly, the USB-C port for charging and data is found on the bottom right of the device. You have dual firing speakers on the top and bottom, or side in portrait, of the Galaxy Z Fold 4.
To the right side of the phone, you have the volume rockers and a power button that doubles as the fingerprint reader. Even the crease of the Fold 4’s screen has a slimmer footprint.
The same can be said for how the under-screen camera fades away slightly better this year. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is just nicer at every turn.įrom the balance in hand to the hinge of the dual screens, the Fold 4 simply leaps off the page as more polished. The basic design is not overly changed from the previous generation however, they couldn’t feel any more different. DesignĮverything about the design of the Fold 4 screams refinement. We’ve been testing a unit courtesy of AT&T for the last four weeks and are now ready to bring you our full review.
