Tech That: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4

Available from: Samsung, Amazon, Currys and John Lewis

RRP starting at £999

What is it? 

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is Samsung’s fourth iteration of its clamshell folding phone.

Plus points

•  Design of the phone is solid, premium, and very impressive. It’s guaranteed to turn heads!
•  New processor upgrade makes this phone snappy and very responsive
•  Battery life has improved but not substantially
•  New software features make the cover display more useful with added widgets and clocks
•  When the phone is folded it is one of the most compact phones on the market
•  Side-mounted fingerprint sensor is faster than most of the competition
•  Samsung guarantees five years of software updates

Nil points

•  Whilst being a feature, the folding nature of this phone can also be an annoyance, having to open and close it every time. I found myself just leaving it in the open position all day (first world problems)
•  The phone is slightly slimmer than a normal smartphone, making it tricky to grip
•  Cameras are great but not amazing compared to its bigger brother, the Galaxy Fold 4

Bottom line

✡ ✡ ✡ ✡

The price of folding phones is still out of reach for many people but if you’re willing to splash the cash on one of the most unique phones on the market, you won’t regret it!
