Flagship device with PC-like features offers a bright, tablet-sized screen and good battery life but lacks a built-in S Pen
Samsung is pushing on with the foldable phones. In much the same way as the company created a market for the large-screened Note and made the supersized display ubiquitous, the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip don’t seem like they are going away any time soon.
There’s the size. Samsung has made it a fraction thinner than the Fold3 but there’s no denying that the Fold4, when closed, is still noticeably thicker than the average smartphone. But I’ve spent a few days with the Fold4, and it’s surprisingly easy to get used to in your pocket and bag. You have to wonder what this means for the Microsoft Duo 2; it doesn’t mean the company will ditch it – it has its own laptops too – but if the Samsung experience is better, customers may opt for that over the Microsoft-designed device.
Speaking of the camera, that is where you will see the big change. Samsung has improved the Fold4, adding the 50 megapixel-wide angle camera to the triple-camera set-up. That’s an upgrade from the last version’s 12 megapixel lens, and brings it in line with the S22 Plus. There is no built-in S Pen, an ongoing inconvenience for a device that pitches itself as a productivity and multitasking powerhouse. The S Pen will once again be relegated to an add-on that either floats around your bag or is tethered with a case. Neither option is ideal, given that Samsung pitched the Note with a built-in S Pen and, quite frankly, we liked the convenience.
