Is the Z Fold4 the best foldable? Maybe yes, maybe not. Is the Z Fold4 the most widely available foldable in global market? Absolutely. This is why more foldables should be launched around the world, to be of some competitions in the field.
Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 blows this thing out by a huge margin, there are quite a number of shortfalls with the Samsung Z fold but Samsung is big to an extent that almost every review makes an a excuse for the shortfalls as if they are insignificant at that price tag
@@sirsilva7079 yeah but I don't trust a Chinese brand like Xiaomi, lol. I've had a few of their devices in the past, their privacy concerns are disheartening.
GSMArena always one of the channel/site I go to whenever I look for reviews. Thank you for making this one with Z fold. Overall, i think this device is impressive.
Though honestly the biggest thing with this device I can say is you kind of can't blame Samsung for being sort of iterative this year with it. They spent billions on research and development for this tech. So they might as well take time and try and get as much money as they can before trying to innovate more and more.
Yes I love their innovative thinking, but I still don’t recommend buying it. Like it’s still fragile with the folding screen. Have to be lucky and fortunate to get a device that lasts 200k folds and not dies after 3-6 months. And then the additional needed insurance and ofc the price tag.
The only thing is, if another company were to reveal a lighter, thinner foldable phone in the US sector then Samsung is basically out of the foldable race because their phone would look antique.
@@dennisk8733 what are you on about, how is the device fragile from any other Galaxy Devices. Only silly humans use their mobiles without a case. And who folds and unfolds their device so much in 1 day do you not work. I love my ZF4, think there's a sweet spot with this 4th gen. Only thing that could top it for me is having a built in S-Pen which will come either next year or within 3 years. I have a case which allows me to keep the S-Pen within the hinge protector and when unfolded it acts like a lil kick stand. Check them out iBlason clear case. I also turned on protect battery so it only charges to 85%. Better battery longevity. I normally keep my devices for 2/3 years so I'm in no rush to change it.
Switched over from the S22 Ultra and purchased the Fold 4 (my first fold phone) and I've had no regrets since. My fold 4's battery is way better than the S22 ultra - kudos to the new chipset... It actually makes a difference! Sure, do I miss the display on the S22 ultra, but the display when my fold is unfolded beats it. Also, although when folded, its small, it's actually a really good size to hold with one hand. The cameras are pretty solid, but if you're not a camera guru, the fold 4's cameras are more than enough. I honestly don't think I can go back to a candy bar shaped phone anymore. The hype is very real.
It is real. I’ve thought about getting one, but for me durability and longevity is very important and folds aren’t there yet for being used 3-5years. Like candybar phones like s22 ultra or in my case IPhone 13 Pro Max
I did the same and felt the same way for a week. Now the honeymoon is over and the Fold 4 is in its box and on the way back to Samsung. I'm so glad I didn't actually send my S22 Ultra off for the trade in.
A few days ago, I was kinda confuse cause how good it is and the potential to make Candy Bar Phone Dead or become Boring Device. But yeah, I maybe will try this device
I have a very bad experience with Sumsung Fold 4 and very bad experience with Sumsung's customer after sale services , it LCD not functioning just after few months ( not able to connect to wifi , not able to connect hot spot, the front external screen not responding, not able to detect the Sims card and a lot of Sumsung phone users facing the same issues . The customer service team lost my phone data and yet made a policy to erase all our phone data before send in for any services , I worry same problem with come back again and again
Almost perfect phone, but after 9 months, serious issues with the inner screen protector film. It´s peeling off. Even when Samsung is replacing it for free (just one time), it´s not expectable for a high end value phone. Techology is not fully solved and mature. Early adopters will have to deal with cover film issues and consecuences such as main screen scratches and so on. Moving back to S line as the fold 5 will not overcome these issues. maybe the fold 6.
It's a piece of overpriced junk. Beware, within 18 months of purchase, mine has had its fold out screen film replaced twice (thankfully within the guarantee period). But immediately thereafter, coinciding with it falling outside the guarantee, it's become an unusable slab - the front LCD screen has failed. Because of that there is no accessibility to WiFi (apparently the WiFi is integrated with the front screen). SIM slot no. 2 is unusable. To repair it requires the large foldout screen to be replaced because the SIM slot is integrated with the foldout screen! A marvel of design. And, the starter switch does not work. All this within 18 months of purchase and very careful use. Cost of getting it to start working again: Rs. 70-75,000 (as per the local Samsung service centre). Guarantee on repair? 3 months. Are these guys kidding?? Avoid the GalaxyFold if you value your money. And your peace of mind.
How many times this phone will be folded ( close /open ) before it breaks at the center ??? It's what we call wear and tear perhaps it will come to this point

You can thank US of A for the state of competition
Especially in the USA, we loose out on so many incredible foreign brands

Same with the Vivo X Fold, Me Mobile even said if it's released globally he would buy it over the Samsung offering.

Just curious if you guys switched on the Dolby Atmos while testing the speakers. It makes quite a difference.

Hey Will! I watch all your reviews and you bring us the best information on the product. Keep up the good work 👍, yeah we miss Angie.....
Did Angie quit?
very organized review. thanks
If you set refresh rate to Standart, what are numbers? Constant 60fps or 60 is maximum and it drops to...what number (if drops)?
Great review!
After getting this phone, candy bar form factors have become obsolete for me. No going back. This is the real deal, the future.
I don't know how Will manages not to break all the phones with them guns
How do I get around the blurry backgrounds ? I honestly don't like them unless I WANT them?
Portrait lol
Got a refurbished Z fold 4 for 650usd, will try it out soon!
How'd it go?
There's no stylus, right?
might buy one of these in 2-3 years…i feel rollable phones won’t make it pass the development stage now
Did u?

Thanks,GSM
Def a worth it upgrade from XR to Fold 4, me. I want that upgrade.
I have a very bad experience with Sumsung Fold 4 and very bad experience with Sumsung's customer after sale services , it LCD not functioning just after few months ( not able to connect to wifi , not able to connect hot spot, the front external screen not responding, not able to detect the Sims card and a lot of Sumsung phone users facing the same issues .

Did it happen after software update?
I would think as the top of the line model with we be allowed to have expandable storage!!
My carrier only has the 250 gb model :(
Why is S22U, Zflip 4 Zfold4 not as lous as previous generation counterparts
I think you just convinced me brother 😂
S21 Ultra vs Fold 4...do I switch 🤔🤷🏽♂️
Yes

If someone has this, the crease shouldn't be a problem... considering you have 2 cellphones at the same time
All I see is Fred again.. 🤘
Wish foldable phones weren’t in such demand

Does anyone else feel like the guy in the camera test section look like an NPC 😂
Form factor wise, flip is the better folding phone. Feel free to make me change my mind but i doubt it.

It was
Honor V Fold is the best in terms of everything. Samsung should learn from them!
Good 👍🙂🙂
How many times this phone will be folded ( close /open ) before it breaks at the center ??? It's what we call wear and tear perhaps it will come to this point
200000 times in 5 years or 110 times a day Samsung says
@@mrkring1526 so meaning after 5 years this phone would break at the center ... That is if i exceed 200000 times ????
Are you sure galaxy Z fold 4 has 12 mp main camera??? Everyone telling lie that it has 50 mp main camera!! GSMARENA?
50mp full resolution
