Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4, its newest iterations of foldable devices. Brand-new accessories like the Galaxy Watch 5, Galaxy Watch 5 Pro, and Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are available to go along with these new devices. Only the new smartphones will be examined for this impression piece. You might be a little let down if you were anticipating significant improvements like we saw with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Galaxy Z Flip 3 devices. Iterative updates, the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 feature significantly modified designs, improved cameras, and a cutting-edge processor. Even still, some of the adjustments are fairly significant and might be sufficient to win. the favour of prospective buyers.
Let's begin with the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It's priced starting at $1,799.99 (approximately Rs. 1,42,830 before taxes). According to Samsung, the main highlights of the new Fold are its flagship-grade cameras, a more powerful SoC, and a lighter body. The latter is the first thing I noticed and even though this model still weighs 263g (the Z Fold 3 is 271g), the weight now feels better distributed. It's still very chunky and the two halves of the phone don't sit flush with one another when closed, like with the Flip.
This time, the metal frame is flatter, and all the ports and buttons are in their usual places. It's also claimed to have somewhat smaller overall dimensions than the Galaxy Z Fold 3, though it's difficult to discern without holding the two devices side by side. Depending on how you intend to use the Galaxy Z Fold 4, the hinge feels sturdy and can be opened at different angles.
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 now supports the 'Nightography' features, which is the company's marketing jargon for improved low-light images and videos. Samsung has taken some of the camera hardware from the Galaxy S22 series. A 50-megapixel primary camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS), a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera with 3X optical zoom and up to 30X digital zoom are all included in the Galaxy Z Fold 4. The selfie cameras appear to be unaltered.
