Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, an excellent iterative upgrade from the Galaxy Z Fold 3, is now available. This phone boasts an upgraded primary and telephoto camera, longer battery life, and a more power-efficient SoC. It’s also a little bit easier to use, but don’t get me wrong—it’s still a bulky smartphone, and using the folding display requires far more caution than using a standard phone display. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is unquestionably a more useful large-screen smartphone than the iPhone 13 Pro Max, even though prices have gone up.
