The Z Flip 4 is a clamshell foldable device. So, let's explore the specifications and features.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Overview:

Design, Display

The design of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 hasn't undergone a major overhaul. The external display remains unchanged at 1.9 inches diagonally, as expected. This Super AMOLED panel allows you to view notifications and access widgets for various applications.

Not only does the external screen stay the same, but the exterior of the Z Flip 4 also remains consistent. The frames are still constructed with Armor Aluminum, and the thickness remains at 17.1 mm at the hinge and 15.9 mm at the ends where the display meets. Consequently, the gap when the phone is folded is the same size.

However, what distinguishes it from the Z Flip 3 is that its primary cameras are slightly more pronounced, and the sides have been flattened this time around. It is accessible in Graphite, Blue, Pink Gold, and Bora Purple tones.

Upon unfolding the clamshell, you reveal a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display inside. It features a Full HD resolution with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. Additionally, Samsung claims that the panel is now 45% stronger due to changes in the display structure and stronger ultra-thin glass.

For durability, both the internal and external displays use Gorilla Glass Victus. The Flip also maintains its IPX8 rating, meaning it can be submerged for up to 30 minutes in up to 5 feet of water.

Performance, Battery

Under the hood, the Z Flip 4 is powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. It is available in three storage configurations: 8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 8GB/512GB. On the software front, it runs on Android 12-based One UI 4.1 out-of-the-box, but a stable version of the upgraded One UI 5 (Android 13) update is already available for the Z Flip 4.

Moving on, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has improved upon last year's Flip's battery life with a slightly larger 3700mAh cell. The charging speed has also been enhanced from the Flip 3's 15W to 25W. This enables you to charge the smartphone to 50% in around 30 minutes.

Cameras

Additionally, the Flip 4 retains the same camera specifications as the previous year. This entails a dual-camera setup with two 12MP lenses—one primary and one ultrawide. A 10MP selfie camera is housed on the principal screen.

Users can utilize features like FlexCam to capture group selfies from various angles by slightly folding the phone. Samsung has also collaborated with Meta to enhance its FlexCam service for major virtual entertainment platforms like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook.

Rest of the specs

Additionally, the Z Flip 4 incorporates a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for biometrics. The connectivity options include WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and 5G. it comes with the help of one nano SIM and one eSIM. Importantly, it comes with Samsung's hardware-level Knox security.
