The Galaxy Fold was the original folding smartphone, and so the line comprised of its successors has always been incredibly important throughout these past few years, especially as they have always been the most geographically spread folding smartphones you can buy. The most recent iteration is still the Galaxy Fold4, at least until Samsung announces the Fold5 later this month, so we decided it's time to take this one for an extended spin.
The Fold4 has more direct competition than any of its predecessors, even if a lot of its direct competitors aren't available officially outside of China. Thus, the Samsung 'Fold' is still, for many people, the benchmark for this phone-folds-out-into-a-mini-tablet form factor, and, of course, it helps that it comes from a brand that's well-known across the globe, and with a very long software update window as well - that's more of a thing throughout the Android world today, but it hasn't always been.
So, the Galaxy Z Fold4 (which we'll simply refer to as "Fold4" from now on), on paper, looks like a solid contender even today. But does that translate into a great user experience day-in and day-out when you have this as your one and only smartphone? That's what we're trying to find out in this review.
We've lived exclusively with the Fold4 for many weeks now, and are ready to share our thoughts. Is the Samsung Fold still the best non-Flip foldable that you can officially buy internationally? Or is the market leader in dire need of severe changes, which will hopefully be implemented with the release of the Fold5? Let's explore together. Join us over the next few pages to see if Samsung's software advantage is still big enough to negate some of its hardware oddities.
I had bought Samsung galaxy Z fold 4 in January last year and it worked very well and was useful for 1st year. Then 3 months after expiry of my phone's manufacturer warranty, one day the WiFi stopped working. I looked for online help an...
"The aspect ratio went from 25:9 to 23.1:9. As those numbers strongly imply, the problem is that it's less tall by only a teeny tiny amount, and so the issue with typing on the outer screen remains" 🤦 ... What an utterly crap...
