With the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, less is definitely more. It’s slimmer and lighter than its folding predecessors, yet it’s packed with more features.

In all, it’s an impressive smartphone that’ll be loved by foldable smartphone enthusiasts — and quickly convert those who’ve yet to come around to the concept into fans.

Portable goes widescreen

The beauty of the Galaxy Z Fold4 is that it lets you enjoy a screen that’s the size of a small tablet, yet the device itself is as compact as a small phone.

In its closed state, this gadget is 15.8cm long and 6.7cm wide, and it only weighs slightly more than other non-folding phones of that size.

When opened up, the Galaxy Z Fold4 reveals an expansive 7.6-inch (about 19cm) screen with a 1,812 x 2,176 pixel resolution. That’s a whole lot of screen that will happily accommodate spreadsheets and presentations, with text that’s easy to read. If you’re in multitasking mode, no worries, as the Multi View function will allow you to operate more than one window at once.

Fold away your concerns about durability

Concerned about how durable a foldable smartphone is? Worry not. The screen of the Galaxy Z Fold4 is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+, while the entire device is encased in lightweight Armor Aluminum. Samsung’s toughest aluminium frame to date, it acts like a suit of armour for your smartphone.

Another exiting feature that adds to the robust nature of the Galaxy Z Fold4 is that it’s water resistant. In fact, in Samsung’s test lab, it was found to be able to survive being submerged in up to 1.5m of fresh water for up to 30 minutes1

A battery that can go on and on

Designed to keep up with your routine, the Galaxy Z Fold4’s generous 4,400mAh battery will power your day2.

This stylish foldable smartphone also fuels up in a flash thanks to its Super Fast Charging capabilities3.
