Hands-On With Samsung's Latest Foldable Smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip

The $1,000 and $1,800 foldable devices are the fourth generation of the device. We thought we'd take a look at the newest phones from Samsung to see what Apple needs to improve upon when it comes to foldable devices.

There were a lot of issues with the early foldable devices, but they have had several years to fix them. A lot of these issues have been addressed by new hinge designs and body refinements.

The Z Fold 4 is the larger of the two foldable phones and it folds like a book, going from a 6.1-inch display to a 7.6-inch display. The Z Flip 4 has a 6.7-inch display and folds vertically, top over bottom. There is a 1.9-inch display where you can see notifications, the time, and other information.

The Z Fold 4 runs a special version of the operating system built for foldable devices, and both of the foldable devices feature 120Hz displays. There are useful multitasking capabilities with the addition of the dock that makes it easy to swap between applications.

These two devices have a lot of high end features. Multi-lens cameras, high-capacity batteries, the latest chips, and more are included. To see the folding mechanism in action and to see the rest of the feature set, you must watch our video above.

Ross Young believes that Apple is working on a foldable iPhone that will be launched in the year 2025. Apple often holds off on implementing new technology until the available hardware can meet the quality specifications that the company demands, so it is no surprise to see Apple waiting for several years after the launch of foldableAndroid smartphones to launch its own
