Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is getting close to perfect

Excellent phone reception strength for city, suburbs, regional and rural use, Bright, Colourful and accurate displays, Premium class camera, A more usable outer screen, Decent 1-day battery life

The crease and Two-handed opening may bother you, Mohs hardness 2 (out of 10) for the main screen – take extreme care, Some throttling but not as extreme as other SD8 Gen1 SoCs and no mountable external SSD storage, 25W charger costs extra and is so yesterday – bad Samsung, Heavy in the pocket and...

I have a confession: I’m not really into tablets. The last one I bought was in 2012, and I think my cat technically owns it now. They feel too much like a neither-here-nor-there device to me — too underpowered to do computer stuff, too big and cumbersome to do phone stuff.

Camera system worthy of a flagship, Intuitive multitasking interface, It’s a phone, Excellent performance

$1,799, Android tablet app support is weak, Still heavy and chunky

Slick software makes multitasking effortless; Flagship performance ; Better, more versatile cameras;

No S Pen as standard, or a slot to store one; Screen crease hasn’t disappeared completely; Still your wallet’s worst enemy;

Samsung’s Fold series has come a long way since its disastrous debut, which saw the first-generation model all but fall apart in my hand. Having spent a week with the Galaxy Z Fold 4, it’s clear that this is the most refined version of the foldable phone yet.

Smart UI tweaks, Camera no longer an issue, The form factor really does work

Lack of apps making true use of the big inner screen limits usefulness, Crease and thick body remain from the previous iteration, Price still puts it out of reach for most

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is a refined foldable with improved durability, great performance and pixel-perfect cameras, but it doesn’t do much differently to its predecessor. Minor changes could attract if you were on the fence, but bigger upgrades from competing foldables leave the Z Fold 4 in the...

Large 7.6in display is great for multitasking, Hugely improved rear camera setup, All-day battery life, New software enhancements via Android 12L

Still a gap between displays when folded, Under display camera is bad, App support is hit-and-miss, 25W charging is slow in 2022

Here we are, with the fourth-generation Galaxy Z Fold from Samsung. And honestly, it’s not a huge change from the Galaxy Z Fold 2, released two years ago. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, as Samsung is working to iterate and perfect this form factor before making drastic changes.

Super bright display, Lighter than its predecessor, Slight changes in dimensions makes it easier to handle, Android 12L is a huge upgrade here, Cover Screen is wider and easier to use

Battery life isn't the best, Slow charging, Costly, There's still a crease

At first glance the Galaxy Z Fold 4 isn't particularly different to the outgoing Z Fold 3. But then this isn't really an 'upgraders' phone in my view. Since using the newer Fold for a fortnight I've found the marginally different aspect ratios make both screens – whether the exterior in folded...

Slightly better screen aspect ratio screens than predecessor, It's a lot like a phone and a tablet rolled into one, New Taskbar functionality for enhanced use-cases, Camera improvements over its predecessor

Wait until you see the price, Under-display camera is still too visible, S Pen stylus isn't integrated – and sold separately, Screen creases and reflections unavoidable with folding tech

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades
