The Flip 4 is refined and lovely to use, but it’s not quite finished

It folds in half, Good battery life, Camera is fun to use, Actually pocketable

Chunky, No telephoto camera, Cover screen is still small and limited

Streamlined design makes the most of that foldable screen; Cover display more useful than before; Stellar everyday performance;

Camera versatility not as good as regular Galaxy line-up; Long-term durability an unknown; Is this really the best foldable form factor?;

I like that it fits in my purse or pocket so easy. Viewing items on the front screen is good.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is still a capable foldable a year after release, but with the newer Z Flip 5 offering better performance and a new large 3.4-inch cover display for the same price, the Flip 4 doesn’t feel as complete as it once did.

The best small phone around, Battery life improvements, Clever camera tricks, You want a small phone that stands out: The fact the Z Flip 4 folds in half makes it the smallest, most powerful phone on the market. If that’s what you want, this is a perfect choice.

Battery life still could be better, Cover Screen is good, but functionality is better on the Razr, MInimal upgrades over the previous model, You want long battery life: The endurance here is an improvement over the Flip 3, however, it’s still very much a phone that’ll only just make it to the end of...

The new folder from Samsung is its best yet. It looks sensational and works beautifully.

Stunning looks, Excellent cameras, Unbeaten pocketability

Pricey, Still not quite as strong as regular phones

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is a small clamshell-style folding phone with powerful internals and a particularly stylish design. On the outside, the 1.9-inch cover display gives you another way to manage your apps and messages, even if it is quite small. The best part?

Sturdy, waterproof build, Speedy performance and good battery life, 1.9inch cover screen with new widgets

Very similar to Flip 3, Average camera system

Samsung has addressed some of the Z Flip 3's biggest pain points with its 2022 successor; mainly by way of a larger battery that fits into a more compact form factor, but there's still plenty of room left for further improvement.

Larger battery & faster charging, Great long-term software support, Impressively compact design, Excellent performance

Occasional camera inconsistencies, Minor year-on-year upgrades, Battery life underwhelms, Still highly priced

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 makes a few important updates to this popular folding phone, resulting in a better-looking device, better cameras and bringing the power up to date. There's novelty in the design, but the reality is that these phone displays just don't last as long - and that's something...

Premium design, Lots of customisation options, Great display, IPX8 protection

Charging not the fastest, Display durability remains a problem, No zoom camera

“The Galaxy Z Flip 4 may not be a revolutionary year-over-year upgrade, but it stands tall as one of the best folding smartphones you can buy in 2022. It's sleeker, faster, and more reliable than ever.”

Flatter design looks and feels fantastic, Bespoke customization is unmatched, Excellent main display, Blazing fast performance, Good, fun cameras

Battery still only lasts a day, Limited cover screen functionality

Overall, the Galaxy Z Flip4 is a good device for someone who’s looking to dip their toes into the world of folding phones but doesn’t want to pay the higher price tag of the Z Fold4.

Great 120Hz display, Smooth performance, Great cameras, A larger battery is a plus, Easily pocketable

Minimal design changes over Flip3, Overall battery life still isn’t the best, Cover Screen is good but still limited in functionality
