As someone who works in the home health setting, the 3-window display is what I'm very excited about! It gives me a chance to complete patient notes in one window, have the patient's history on the other, and have another window for a word doc/template copy-pasting. I've used a tablet for work, but most are slow, clunky, and I can't send/receive text messages in it for care team communication. The s-pen will also prove helpful for patient verification. Getting mine this weekend, and hopefully it all works out! With all things considered, it looks like a great upgrade from my S9 haha
@@UBZUKki it has been pretty awesome! Maybe not the 3 window display, but there is a lot of real estate with the big screen. I bought the samsung case with the s pen fold, I can't seem to use it on the front screen. Had to use my amazon bought stylus to get patient signatures in the front. So far, my work productivity has tripled and I do not have to complete my notes at home as I can easily do them on the spot!
@Aunchient Pistol I never had a issue with my fold 3 I was getting 6hrs sot everyday but it would definitely die around 11pm and off the charger at 7am . I Missed the delivery for my fold 4 yesterday so it just went out for delivery again a few minutes ago so I'll see how it does after a few days of use . I've seen ppl get 7.5-9hrs sot on Reddit
I'm really loving the fold 4, mine came last night and I have been hooked to this phone, I feel its worth the money I paid, I upgraded from a galaxy note 9 and let me tell u its a HUGE difference
I'll really debating on this fold.. I'm really digging it and I have the S21.. I'm gonna have to see what th S23 will be about.. But that fold display 👌
Yeah Note9 gang!, im excited with mine I transferred to iPhone after my note 9 coz I feel like that’s the best Samsung ever and wasn’t tempted to new Notes and S23 ultra until this Fold 4 since this is the refined version of the first 3 folds.
I'll be upgrading from a note 9 as well, the note 9 is a mega solid phone given how long it's been able to hold up performance wise, and I am on the other end of the spectrum, where I don't think I will be upgrading rather than moving laterally.
I've switched from my S22U to Fold 4 and I'm so glad a did! Sometimes I miss that 10x optical zoom, but that's about it. Fold 4 is a much better overall device, also thanks to the Snapdragon, with the S22U I usually got 3,5h of SOT, which is ridiculous. Now I'm gettin around 6h which I'm really happy with.
I gave my Fold 3 to my daughter a month after launch as the battery life and camera weren't great for me so switched to S22 Ultra which I love. Just received my Fold 4 and I'm back baby - battery life is better than my Ultra and the camera improvements are significant. The extra zoom on S22 Ultra is a bit of a party trick but for the pics I actually take daily I think the photos on the Fold 4 are as good and often better. Nice work Samsung.
I use three windows on my fold 3 when driving since my car doesnt have android auto. I put the phone dialer/spotify on the smaller windows and google maps on the big half. I bought a wireless charging holder that works with the phone when unfolded. Its a great work around.
Got my Z Fold 4 (and S Pen) yesterday morning and I cannot put it down! Absolute BEAST of a multitasking device. Plus battery life has been great, build quality is top-notch, and the cameras are glorious!
I love the phone for the advancing technology. Not sure why cameras have taken over as the prime reason to buy a phone. This mini tablet is perfect for all my needs personal and professional. Thanks for the review. Oh I got the free case with the S-pen and find that the availability is a must. Also you can write on any display front and back with your finger. You gotta love Samsung. They think of everything!
13:00 I found the multi-window is great for playing tabletop games. One for my "primary" character sheet, the second for quick notes, third for quick references, and the pop-up for a dice app... The ultimate all in one game use. The other place I use multi-window is for my story/game writing with different resources in one window, notes in the other, and final compilation in the main window.
Just ordered my fold 4 I have an s21u at the moment. The main two things I use my phone for are texting/calling and media consumption with the occasional gaming session. I rarely take photos and when I do they are reference photos for work they dont need to be HD everything. It's my first fold and I really think it's gonna be perfect for my use cases. Super excited
He might not have been using the light performance mode during his time with it maybe?🤷🏻♂️ I'm wanting this phone but am still nervous about the main screen durability. Only one way to find out! Lol
@@SooHooSamaSito my fold has the same battery life as the S22U. I do use the front screen when am out and about. Only really use the inner display when sat at home etc.
@@YT_Kieran To be honest, I can say my S22 Ultra's battery absolutely destroys my iPhone 13 Pro's.....................................if I don't use it and leave it off. I pay top dollar to use my devices at their fullest. I've just accepted to let whatever Samsung says go in one ear and out the other. To be honest, with Samsung now offering cheap packaging, lower specs on the most expensive devices, a joke of a warranty, call centers with employees that know nothing about the products or who just outright lie to get a sale, I am about ready to move on from Samsung. I hope the U.S. opens the market to free trade again so Samsung can have some actual competition do have to deal with.
I switched from the Z Fold 2 to the Fold 4 and maaaan I love my new phone 🥲 the crease is almost not even visible. The battery is great, the brightness is a huge upgrade for me coming from the fold 2. And having a slightly larger cover screen really helps a ton. If you're upgrading form a fold 3 to 4 I wouldn't recommend it. But anything before that for sure makes the difference! Loving the phone for sure. 🙏🏽
@@alexisaguirrevideos i hope you enjoy it as much as I am, can I ask why why you don't plan on keeping it? My Fold 2 was a power house these last 2 years
This is my third day with my fold 4. This is my first foldable and I am looking over the few draw backs of this phone ie: the crease, the inside camera which i don't even notice and no s-pen. I had a note 4 once and I never used the s-pen so I don't care about it. I don't see the crease when using and the battery life is improving as I use the phone. The small display is usable for quick stuff like phone calls, texting and checking my gmal. It looks fine and I don't mind it. Yes a litter wider would be nice but i'm good with it as is. The big display is spectacular and the split screen is a fantastic feature. One thing is a must, you have to get a case. The phone is slippery and with the $$$ spent I rather have a case with a holding strap. All in all, very happy with my purchase.
For the multi screen view with 3 apps, I would use it to have chrome, excel, and notes open. I use a spreadsheet I created to enter in a list of dances from class into a spreadsheet i created, then copy and paste the results from lookup formulas into notes, do a little editing there and then paste into this site I go to for logging information. That's one example for me. I definitely would use it more often than not. I like the idea of not feeling required to keep my tablets with me. Still debating on getting the fold 4 and I know have another day to think about it before this big promo ends. 🤔🤷🏽♂️🧐
It's meant to take notes while on a zoom meeting or watching a video while chatting on work chat. Or from grabbing and dragging files from one app to another. It's business on the go.
A review that isn't gushing the entire time, good job. This will be my first folding screen and I really struggled on fold or flip/keeping 22 Ultra The multi tasking and the shit ton of accessory credit has me getting the fold.
The z fold 4 has convinced my mum to finally upgrade from her ancient Note 3, I did get her a note 9 and 12 pro max which she handed right back. Let's hope she is not just going to pass it on and finally switch.
Ya I still have a note 10 plus. Working great and battery life still good. Need to make up my mind as I won't purchase after pre order deadline. Leaning towards waiting for the 23 ultra and waiting till the fold 7 or 8 to delve into foldables
@@manujoe72 All I think about is carrying this fold 4 in my pocket at the gym in my synthetic shorts. Absolute brick! No thanks! Maybe if they can minimize the size and weight in the future, I'll jump on board.
I agree with your thoughts on the S pen. Only reason I don't want them to do that is because I don't want them to have a chance at getting rid of the "Note" option. I absolutely have no desire for a foldable but I love my "Note"!
I was the same way but I decided to risk it to try the fold. There's no way I could go back to a regular display. Try it and you might be pleasantly surprised
@@SooHooSamaSito I'm not sure how much experience you have with Samsung, but they discount everything. I got the $1900 fold 4 and $499 watch 5 pro for $850 for BOTH with a trade in. My fold 3 from last year was discounted to $800 when I traded in my note 20 the previous year. Free case, free s pen. I would never pay $2k for a phone, but $750 for a fold 4? All day. $32 for a $500 watch 5 pro.
@@V3NOMOUS22 I've been ordering unlocked devices from Samsung for years. With the Fold 4, they've included free buds2 Pro, case with stylus, 512gb upgrade, fast charging brick, screen protector and the other 6 month free Spotify, UA-cam, etc. nonsense. With a trade in of my unlocked S22 Ultra, they still want an extra $800. Now that I've seen enough reviews to realize that I'm paying an extra $800 over the $1400 I paid for my S22 Ultra for a huge downgrade. I've already received my return label and when the items get here this afternoon, I"m going to immediately ship them back to Samsung without bothering to open anything. But thank you for the heads up!
I've had my Z Fold4 for 2 days now, I love it. Switched from S10+. It is my first Foldable (smart) phone, and is such a unique device. I really like that it is a thicker device while being used as a regular phone.
I upgraded from the Fold 3 because of brightness and they delivered. It even has the option for more brightness and I love it. I would at least like to see the S-Pen either magnets to stick to the back like the pen for the Surface Duo or have that S-Pen case to have adhesive to stick it on the back if they cannot make an internal one. I do not carry it with me because I will lose it.
One of the best reviews of the galaxy fold 4... i like how you keep mentioning that what you say is your own opinion and it helps me think before i make that decision. Thanks Saf.
Let's get this camera comparison to the iPhone 13 pro. I've already been comparing them and still shots have been better on the front and back camera on the fold 4. It actually surprised me, especially using night mode the dynamic range is better and everything. The cover screen is perfect imo because of the thickness of the phone. Who wants a thick phone and a super wide display like the others I see out there. They look clunky, Samsung nailed it imo. Battery is also much better. The 4 is sweet as pie.
I don't know how someone can justify upgrading from Fold 3 to 4, even with the trade-in offers it's very expensive for such marginal improvements. I think I will wait and see how the Fold 5 looks.
Nah. Front screen is so much better to use, i barely open phone anymore. Battery life has been much better. Those 2 alone were worth an upgrade. And your foldn3 will just keep losing value and you'll risk having it break on you.
Im a mechanic, and have found having youtube up researching a fix to something while having notes up, making my own critiques works quite well. Also did a 3 way screen to voice text coworkers what i was finding for a fix. Worked alot easier than sending them the link and them going "wtf am i looking at"
It's super interesting to know about the crease bothering you when you want to do a full artwork, it's a very important point for me... glad to know about it now thanks to your video
Hey Saf your presentations are always great, however, your knowledge of the devices (Samsung) leaves one wondering if you really understand how the device really works at it's best!!! I often find your evaluations to be rather short sighted!!! I would suggest that you dig a little deeper and present a more accurate description of how it will work with a little more attention! You don't always present the most accurate information for new buyers!!!
Got my fold 4 today. Literally everything about it I'd better than the 3. I don't get why people call it an incremental upgrade, the front display appears bigger and not as cramped, battery life has definitely been improved and the cameras and build make look and feel more premium. Im really loving the the flatter look of the phone.
Because these reviewers get their hands on so many devices, they've literally lost touch with what is a useful and significant upgrade to the average consumer. They are more concerned with the same ol' thumbnails and click-baity titles, and then flip flop back and forth.
@@alphagodvon that's the one I got. My Fold 3 would normally be sitting around 65% battery by noon on an average use day. As of right now, it's sitting at 85% and it's currently little past 11am
If I was just hanging out or going on long trips I would totally use the multitasking windows. Podcast screen on one, sporting event on another, and then maybe my social media.
hopefully the zfold 5 will have even a wider screen plus a larger battery and a slightly wider space for the spen 8:9 aspect ratio which unfolds into a 16:9 aspect ratio which would gives the device more spcase to breate, room for bigger battery and better battery and well as being able to have the spen slot with all the air action features without the phone exploding
@@npcimknot958 because it makes sense I don't mind the cover display staying 6.2" it's the narrow display that bothers me, ya I prefer the size of the s22 ultra but since this is a folding phone I don't mind as I can unfold into a bigger display but I want the cover display to feel like a candy bar smartphone rather than a tv remote, they can make it the same size and aspect ratio as the s22, that phone is comfortable to use 1 hand and is usable, the zfold 4 cover display some what usuable but not as usuable as a normal sized candy bar phone. About the bigger battery their is no reson why the zfold 4 can't have bigger battery if the s22 ultra can fit a 5000mAh they could fit that in the zfold 4 atleast true it folds and a thinner device than the s22 ultra in unfolded mode but its also alot more wider than the s22 ultra when unfolded they are just cheaping out on us with the 4400mAh size and them sticking with a 4400mAh battery but not giving us internal spen support isn't reasonable with a small sized 4400mAh battery it's more than possible to fit the spen inside and the wider cover display can solve the problem, even though it's an imporvement from the pervious gens I would like it to be wider like the vivo fold atleast. Why don't u want a wider outter display and who doesn't want bigger battery lol
I have been using my Fold 4 for a week. It replaces an Exynos S22 Ultra. I had a Fold 3 (which I sold because it was too frustrating) so I can compare. Really, the Fold 4 is "just a bunch of little incremental upgrades" compared to the 3. But, these little things add up and the 4 is in fact a huge upgrade in terms of pleasure. Battery life, wider cover screen, task bar, easier to use multi-window, screen quality/brigthness, camera quality, all these little things together provide a totally new experience. Compared to fold 3 and exynos S22Ultra, it's a BIG winner.
Enjoy reading all the comments. Got a 512k red one on order should arrive wednesday... looking forward to setting it all up and then transfer across from the old S8+
I missed my Fold 4 yesterday cause I was showing some family visiting my town around lol Fedex just left a note that they'll come back today. I'm gonna be impatiently waiting for that Ring notification for my package to arrive today. I'm so fucking excited!
I am in sales and my crm is on my phone. I use the three window view to have my calander, crm, and notes open when I am prospecting or following up with a client so I can put their information in my system, make sure I am not double booking myself, and take notes so I dont forget important information all without having to fumble around with switching apps which takes a lot of time when you have to flip back and forth between apps while talking to someone that I am already interrupting.
I made a bold move and traded my S22 Ultra for the Z fold 4. It was not simple to leave the S22 Ultra which is an amazing device. First of all the camera. I had a good use of the x10 zoom (and the x30 zoom) but in the end i mostly use the x3 zoom. So i will miss opportunities but that's it. Regarding the S Pen I used it a few times but i always felt limited by the screen size. By the past i almost possessed all the Note series. At start the concept of phablet was something really new. But if we compare in size the first note with the S22Ultra, and it's the main issue for me, the S22Ultra is too large to fit in my pockets. On the over part the Fold4 is really a phablet, a phone with a correct size, fitting in my pockets, able to transform into a tablet. So far i'm really enjoying it and the confort procured by this phone. As for the battery life it seems to be on par with the S22U.
Do you use the main (inner) display a lot? I'm actually debating between the Fold 4 and the S22 Ultra but sceptic about the battery life since the Fold has a smaller battery and a bigger screen
@@007Babush I have a mixed use. Biggest screen is used mostly for videos, reading and web browing. Regarding the s22U i had at start i could use it for 1,5 days without charging it. Latety it was a full day at max.
This dudes representation of Samsung devices are always lack... it's like he googles as much as he can runs with the phone for a few hours maybe a day... then makes a video like he's had it for weeks maybe a month and it's confusing or off-putting to new users or people wanting to upgrade from Apple... I hope people watch more than one videos than one
What are you talking about? He even brings up how to hold it and which way would be more responsive that's not on Google haha. Idk man I think you watch 2 minutes and just leave a message. It's a 20 minute video he didn't just talk about what you find on Google. You didn't even watch it seems. He brought up alot of things from his own usage that I haven't seen anybody bring up yet.
At the end of the day, it'll truly be up to the user. I don't think people are as blinded as they once were. The need for another to influence their decision is lower I feel. However, there is still some people that think Android is as bad as it's once was. I remember wanting to switch to Android, when the last iPhone I had was the IPhone XS Max. I had a feeling they were just going to be releasing the same thing year after year, and the Oppo Find X actually broke the curse on me. I use to watch Apple events, and hearing things like, "we're the first to-" "never done before" and instead of researching elsewhere to see if it was true, I didn't. Mostly because, I was so blinded. I didn't even know there was this thing called "Android." I had no idea there were phones other than the IPhone. The Oppo Find X was spreading so fast at the time, that it ended up on my youtube home page. It was trending like crazy. I also remember thinking, theres a new phone coming to the market? To compete with Apple? Not knowing there were so many different manufacturers, and models of phones, varying in different shapes and sizes, etc for years. Honestly, even today, going out and seeing something other than an IPhone is rare, mostly unheard-of I feel. Once looking into Android, and at the time, the Note 9 (first and favorite Android, or Samsung phone for the longest) I was being told to stay away by people who were reviewing it. They talked horribly on the software experience, and the performance provided by the Snapdragon, etc. People also loved pointing out how different IPhone and Androids are. When it doesn't really matter. At least for me it didn't. I love innovation, and can't complain about the experience I've received from Samsung with software. It's grown so much since then. My Note 9 was not the best when it came to software (whatever it was running at the time) but it wasn't enough to scare me away either. Nor was the performance. It was quite powerful. I'm glad I didn't run away. I'm currently with my second folding device. It has yet to yet to get old. Still so refreshing using it everyday. What I'm trying to say is, everyone is different. People gripe at things on the fold that I can't see to gripe about. They aren't complaints of mine. Some viewers might allow videos to direct them, but you really need to experience things on your own. I definitely feel like it would be harder, as the coverage and come up of Androids has been insane. Android is nothing like it was. It's come so far. Fortunately, I pulled the plug. I realized what I wanted in a phone, and Android has been able to provide that. Along with manufacturers (Samsung particularly). I feel like I'm everywhere with what I'm trying to say, but I think you get what I mean. I wouldn't be worried about this, or anyone else putting off viewers.
no point in watching a phone infulencers "opinion" they change phones every few weeks, I've had the fold 1 2 and 3, get my fold 4 tomorrow, and it's hand Down the best device I've had the pleasure of owning, my advice is to go to the nearest Samsung experience store and try the device to see if you like it, the staff are usually more than happy to demo them and show off the features.
I upgraded from the Z fold 3, I keep hearing reviewers say the crease is the same....unless it gets worse over time, it is not the same. It was the first thing I noticed taking it out of the box. It isn't as deep as on my Z fold 3. I always noticed the crease to an extent on that phone...the Z Fold 4 is easier to ignore for me, and I've compared them directly side by side so I know it's not a placebo effect. It's still very much there but it's definitely more shallow to my eye and harder to notice even with angle shifts. It's slight, but I see it.
Happened the same to me, switching from the Fold 2 to the 3 also noticed the crease less visible and not as deep as with the Fold 2, BUT, I think the crease deepens more and more over time, today when I opened my Fold 4, the crease was very minimal compared to the Fold 3 (side by side). So, I think the crease will get more noticeable over time. Regards!
As far as multi windows function, I am excited to get this phone tomorrow so I can enter the holiday season with that feature. I think it's going to be a game changer with holiday shopping, price comparison and a calculator floating around on top of it!
I actually use the 3 window multi task on my fold 3 for work atleast 2x a week on the field when im not in my office, 1# is the zoom meeting then we pass our pdf work sheet thru email so 2# is the email app the 3# is a pdf editor to look at the documents and e-sign if needed. So here you go a example of 3 windows multi task 😂
Now that I have had my fold for a while I realized there's one thing that I'm absolutely loving! Since it is so thick it's like those old big phones or even the landline member how back in the 90s you could do things and just kind of put the phone in between your shoulder and your ear and just laying down on it while you're doing something and continue to talk the full being so thick makes it much easier to do that then you could do with the S21
Multiple window is useful if you are a stock market trader. You can view charts on two window [Index and Stock] and place your order on the third one [In case your broker is not connected to trading view]
Practical uses for the 3 windows (if you're a football fan) 1. Live game on Sky Go 2. WhatsApp group chat with your football friends 3. Social Media I'm personally looking forward to getting mine for this alone, especially when I'm away from home and want to feel connected. Exciting bit of kit!
I came from an iphone 12 pro max and the fold 4 is by far the best purchase i have made. The battery life is pretty good for my usage and i get about 7 hours of screen on time a day. Scree iphone and apple. Its all about android and the fold from now on😂
@@Sullytaan I did get adjusted pretty easily. Im familiar with android because i had the Galaxy S3 10 years ago. I've been with apple and iPhone for about 8 years until now with the fold 4. I continue to use my cellular apple watch for phone calls and iMessage texting.
As a digital illustrator, I really don't even mind the crease. I posted a quick time-lapse on reddit and I had no noticeable issues due to the crease. If it did it was so minimal I didn't even notice. Also using the standing case that comes with the spen and while it's slightly thicker, I do enjoy having the slightly better grip for my fingers, plus the pen holder actually provides a slant that keeps the camera off any surface even more than just the case would provide.
Mine is on order and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I traded up from my Fold 2 so it will be a larger jump in tech compared to a trade up from the 3. I like the Microsoft type row at the bottom of the phone plus the much easier method of dividing the screen up which was something I didn't do because of how cumbersome it was to initiate. Plus I was not happy with the camera on the 2 in low light setting so this should be a major upgrade for me. Oh! Not to mention those rebates and trade in value were fantastic on my fold 2.
this has around the same battery life as the s22 ultra because the new 8+ gen 1 processor is well optimized and performs much better and that optimization makes the battery life much better despite the zfold 4 having same battery size as the zfold 3 and they also have a better display tech, both the zfold and zflip uses the M12 pro display tech which only consumes 48% of the dynamic 2x amoled tech found on the zfold 3, s22 ultra etc.... plus they have the new power saving mode which lowers the performce very slightly to last years z series which still performs great and the adaptive refresh rate feature isn't limited. The zfold 4 doesn't give any new featue I'd basically call this the zfold 3 edition as it just improves alot of things wrong with the zfold 3 even though it doesn't have any feature feature I'd say it's an important upgrade it's pretty much like android 13 in a way, although they could've added dust resistance, spen support on the cover display and gotten rid of the crease because this is the 4th gen of the product so that crease being their not the end of the world but not acceptable. Other than these changes despite them adding more optimized processor I want to see 4800-5000 mAh battery, wider display and enclosed spen as well as atleast making the main camera sensors s23 ultra while keeping rest of the camera lens s23/s23+ and would like to see the camera fully flushed and the phone to sit flat and please Samsung make their cases better and add hinge protection they can just glue the 2 peces together with a thin stretchable sleeve as well as making it such as fit were you don't have to put stickers because what it you want to change cases and putting that hinge protection not only protects the hinges but also prevents the case from sliding off without using stickers hopefully 3rd party maunfacterers pay attention to this
The Z Fold4 is actually a really good device, minus the really visible crease, but compared to the Fold3 the upgrades are too minor. More foldables should come to the global stage to compete with Samsung!
I have not got my fold yet, so take my opinion as the speculation it is, but I think having the larger s-pen as a separate accessory is a better idea, I never used the s-pen much on the notes I had in the past as it was just 2 narrow and 'unnatural' to hold. I thought it was just me not liking writing on a screen (no texture) but since getting a 2-in-1 laptop with a pen, I actually really like it because its larger and more like holding a real pen, the only complaint is the palm rejection, which I hear is quite good on the fold 4. the s-pen included with the case looks like its about the size a normal pen/pencil, if it was in the phone it would have to be smaller than the one in the old notes or the phone would have to be a lot thicker (at least on one half) particularly with the 2 screen.
I use the three break down of the screen. I watch my professor in the floating window. I read the book in another window and I keep the last window open for OneNote to take notes in class.
Must have been big improvements in the battery life with software updates since it was released and this video was made. I've had the phone for a few weeks and on the latest firmware I get between 6 and 7 hours SOT with 90%+ of that screen time on the foldable display. No complaints.
I got my fold 4 on the 17th, idk how it arrived early but it did I've been using it as my daily after upgrading from a S20U. And it's an amazing phone. The crease isn't noticeable and the under display camera is basically invisible. I tried the fold 3 and I must say the 4's front display is much but for size, and i can 2 finger it (my hands aren't that small). The camera improvements are quite the upgrade even compared to an ultra phone that isn't that old. And I'll be honest, I was intimidated by the split keyboard, but it's very natural feeling and I picked it up pretty quickly. And yes the durability is very good, even without a case on it I fell off my bicycle and the phone hit pure asphalt, bearly a mark on the device. My only complaint is that you definitely need to carry a microfiber with you. The screen easily picks up finger prints on the inside, and when closed it tends to attract alot of dust in the gap Overall an amazing phone, I don't think I'll ever be able to go back
When I draw over the crease it never bothers me.. my samsung case doesn't make my phone thicker and it holds my s pen to the "spine" of the phone so it's out of the way when not in use. As far as the cameras, they aren't on par with my iPhone but I'm never left unsatisfied. My phone was a birthday gift so I'm not trying to justify any money spent lol
A real world practical reason to use 3 apps on the screen: I prop my phone up in the kitchen using the kickstand case. I start smoking a brisket outside so I have the weber app open in one lower quadrant to monitor the meat while I prepare the sides in the kitchen. I'm expecting a fedex package that I need to sign for so I have my doorbell cam open so I can see if the van pulls up and quickly wash my hands. On the remaining top half of the screen I put on your latest video so I can keep up to date on the latest tech while I cut vegetables.
I'm an art student and I bought this phone. I love drawing on it. I don't do clean line art and have a painterly style. I absolutely adore this phone! Perfect choice if I am looking at a reference while painting or drawing on the phone itself. If you're an artist this is the best phone.
If it matters I'm coming from an s20 but previously owned many note phones, none of which really stuck with me for creating art. I wanted them too but they were too small, and pretty weak. The 12gb of ram is great for art software, and there is minimal brush lag
As a day trader in stock market, I find the multiwindow feature very useful. 4 windows for trading app, calculator, stocks news, and note app or youtube
A practical reason that I use often for the triple screen display, is when I log accounts in quickbooks for my job on the go. I can have quickbooks open as the main, my notes from word in another, then my excel spreadsheets with workbooks in the third. Also, I use the fourth for my bank account app to check transaction history for my clients and pair transactions to code in quickbooks.
the three window function is great for me who likes to draw (biggest window) and have a reference tab or social media app open, and also listen/watch youtube. all at the same time. i usually use my laptop for the other two.
The main reason I would use multiple screens at the same time is when I am working on few social media for example and need to look at something while I am finalising a text or edit something. When you are sending an email but need to look at something else in order to finish your email without jumping from one screen to another and login in again and again on the previous device if it's a mobile baking, crypto platform and etc. Keep current stock/crypto open to check whats going on and at the other side just browse regular social media or internet browsing.
the 2 screen modes is very usable for me when i want to send aa file, so the app i want to use is on the left, and te gallery is on the right, and you can drag the file u want to the app from the gallery or file manager, after that when i can't sleep i usually scroll tiktok and reading the comment there, but because its a big display, i watch the videos on the left and swiping through the comment on the right, i don't now how many peope out there who use the phone like that, but i'm very happy with that features which i can't get on a regular smartphone
On the uses of multiple windows open, I would use that to keep things like UA-cam running audibly but still being able to shop, make Pinterest boards and game at the same time. Some people 🙋🏻♀️ like alot of stimulation. Some people actually require it to process. Win foe me
I've had mine since Saturday. I'm coming from an old S9+, so this is a huge upgrade. My only complaints are the weight, would have liked it bigger, storage for the SPen (I hate cases). Other than that, this thing is a beast! I've used multiwindows when talking on the phone with clients, opening up the calendar to set a date while having my email open as well as zoom to schedule that in too. If I'm on FB, I'll usually have youtube Vanced running at the top with a podcast or something. Watching vids or Toks while commuting is awesome. The whole thing is just too good. I've not had any issue with battery life, mind you, I have wireless chargers in my car, by my computer, by my bed. So not that big a deal in our modern lives. But from the tests I've seen this thing has better battery life than than the S22 Ultra anyway. But ya, I keep finding more to like with this thing and I can't imagine going back to a candybar phone again after this.
@@CJ_Figy they did but you can still find the apks to download. Should work for some time, but just won't be updated. Hopefully by the time UA-cam doesn't work well on it anymore, someone will have come out with something else..
Still debating getting the fold 4 but if I do I'd keep the s22ultra and finance the device outright. I've heard enough stories of people waiting weeks for their device to get repaired. I am still a little skeptical about the durability. Folding glass is still maturing technology. I see the internals being slimmed down a little and possibly wider and a bit taller to get flagship cameras and a bit bigger battery.
19:00 I have the Fold 2 and use a capacitive touch pen with rubber tip and "floating disc" for screen use. It works great and I have not had any production problems with it. With the exception of a few dead pixels (my fault for sitting on it and also sleeping on it) I have never had a problem with it and it powers through my day. The only upgrade for me to the Fold 4 would be the camera... except I don't take many pictures... like, almost none... So for me, I'll stick to the Fold 2 for a little bit longer.
I can use 3 windows for drafting email, open an xl or pdf on the 2nd to view data and type it on emails and on 3rd youtube or voice clip to hear some lecture or podcast.
People complaining about the crease, it's never going away, it folds like a book. If you don't want the crease, stick with a regular boring size phone. But the fold is innovative for phones, and of course samsung brought it to life. I love the fold 4. I get so many looks and questions about my fold. I am a fold 2 user upgraded to the fold 4. This is my go to phone like the note series use to be, but I won't upgrade every year.
I switched to the fold 4 from a s22 ultra and i was worried about the downgrade in battery and charging. It's been a week and I haven't missed it at all, so I guess I had nothing to worry about
@@dupasraja9885 it definitely seems like the cpu is doing its job. i feel like my s22 ultra would last longer than the fold 4 doing nothing. there are days were i run the full screen a lot and you would assume it would drain the battery like crazy and it doesnt. i never even have to think about charging it throughout the day. the biggest difference i notice is the charging speed is slower. about 1.5 hours using my 100w gan pps charger whereas the s22ultra was 55 minutes from dead.

Samsung z fold 4
As someone who works in the home health setting, the 3-window display is what I'm very excited about! It gives me a chance to complete patient notes in one window, have the patient's history on the other, and have another window for a word doc/template copy-pasting. I've used a tablet for work, but most are slow, clunky, and I can't send/receive text messages in it for care team communication. The s-pen will also prove helpful for patient verification. Getting mine this weekend, and hopefully it all works out! With all things considered, it looks like a great upgrade from my S9 haha
Exactly Michelle. I completely agree. For professionals, Fold Series phones are a ‘God sent’
Goodness me. That is brilliant and it'll work great with my follow up consultations
Did you get it? And how's the phone experience going for you right now?
@@UBZUKki it has been pretty awesome! Maybe not the 3 window display, but there is a lot of real estate with the big screen. I bought the samsung case with the s pen fold, I can't seem to use it on the front screen. Had to use my amazon bought stylus to get patient signatures in the front. So far, my work productivity has tripled and I do not have to complete my notes at home as I can easily do them on the spot!
Michelle, you're a professional like myself. I love the foldable device. I use the 3 windows all the time. I love setting up paired screens.
Actually shocked you said battery was a little better but I've been seeing tons of people saying it's dramatically better .
@Aunchient Pistol I never had a issue with my fold 3 I was getting 6hrs sot everyday but it would definitely die around 11pm and off the charger at 7am . I Missed the delivery for my fold 4 yesterday so it just went out for delivery again a few minutes ago so I'll see how it does after a few days of use .
I've seen ppl get 7.5-9hrs sot on Reddit
Facts it's a huge diff
Because it is dramatically better.
Im only on day 4 of use and im consistently seeing 1.5hrs more SOT than the best i had on the fold 3...thats pretty significant to me
It's way way better there you satisfied now .....
I'm really loving the fold 4, mine came last night and I have been hooked to this phone, I feel its worth the money I paid, I upgraded from a galaxy note 9 and let me tell u its a HUGE difference
I'll really debating on this fold.. I'm really digging it and I have the S21.. I'm gonna have to see what th S23 will be about.. But that fold display 👌
Yeah Note9 gang!, im excited with mine I transferred to iPhone after my note 9 coz I feel like that’s the best Samsung ever and wasn’t tempted to new Notes and S23 ultra until this Fold 4 since this is the refined version of the first 3 folds.
I'll be upgrading from a note 9 as well, the note 9 is a mega solid phone given how long it's been able to hold up performance wise, and I am on the other end of the spectrum, where I don't think I will be upgrading rather than moving laterally.
I'm upgrading from the galaxy note 10 plus. I would be getting mine tomorrow. Can't wait
I upgraded from a note 9 too I got the fold 3 absolutely brilliant 👏 1 year later
Got mine yesterday. First foldable. Amazing device.
I've switched from my S22U to Fold 4 and I'm so glad a did! Sometimes I miss that 10x optical zoom, but that's about it. Fold 4 is a much better overall device, also thanks to the Snapdragon, with the S22U I usually got 3,5h of SOT, which is ridiculous. Now I'm gettin around 6h which I'm really happy with.
I got 1h sot on my note 10 💀
@@Gecko730 😥
The S22 Ultra has a better screen though
@@Mike-t5r9q True, at first I thought I'm goinna miss that, but the bigger screen is so much better it doesn't bother me at all.
I just traded my s22 ultra in and purchased a fold 4. I never used the 10x optical so it won't bother me lol
I gave my Fold 3 to my daughter a month after launch as the battery life and camera weren't great for me so switched to S22 Ultra which I love. Just received my Fold 4 and I'm back baby - battery life is better than my Ultra and the camera improvements are significant. The extra zoom on S22 Ultra is a bit of a party trick but for the pics I actually take daily I think the photos on the Fold 4 are as good and often better. Nice work Samsung.
Thats because is new phone wait for later same shiiiiiieeetttt , i wait for the fold 5
I use three windows on my fold 3 when driving since my car doesnt have android auto. I put the phone dialer/spotify on the smaller windows and google maps on the big half. I bought a wireless charging holder that works with the phone when unfolded. Its a great work around.
Name of the charger, please?
Please give a link or some info for this holder please! Sounds ideal!
Got my Z Fold 4 (and S Pen) yesterday morning and I cannot put it down! Absolute BEAST of a multitasking device. Plus battery life has been great, build quality is top-notch, and the cameras are glorious!
Mine comes today. Can't wait to try it out.
I need to wait until Friday! 😭
In which color did you guys get it?
@@TomerShemesh went with 512 gb black
@@TomerShemesh got mine in beige, It's look more premium, than my black fold 3.
I love the phone for the advancing technology. Not sure why cameras have taken over as the prime reason to buy a phone. This mini tablet is perfect for all my needs personal and professional. Thanks for the review. Oh I got the free case with the S-pen and find that the availability is a must. Also you can write on any display front and back with your finger. You gotta love Samsung. They think of everything!
13:00 I found the multi-window is great for playing tabletop games. One for my "primary" character sheet, the second for quick notes, third for quick references, and the pop-up for a dice app... The ultimate all in one game use.
The other place I use multi-window is for my story/game writing with different resources in one window, notes in the other, and final compilation in the main window.
Just ordered my fold 4 I have an s21u at the moment. The main two things I use my phone for are texting/calling and media consumption with the occasional gaming session. I rarely take photos and when I do they are reference photos for work they dont need to be HD everything. It's my first fold and I really think it's gonna be perfect for my use cases. Super excited
So it has been proved that the Fold 4 has better battery than S22 Ultra but you're saying the opposite. Pretty sure you're the one who's wrong here
He might not have been using the light performance mode during his time with it maybe?🤷🏻♂️ I'm wanting this phone but am still nervous about the main screen durability. Only one way to find out! Lol
I'm actually seeing a lot of people saying that their Ultra's last longer than their Fold 4's now.
@@SooHooSamaSito my fold has the same battery life as the S22U. I do use the front screen when am out and about. Only really use the inner display when sat at home etc.
@@YT_Kieran To be honest, I can say my S22 Ultra's battery absolutely destroys my iPhone 13 Pro's.....................................if I don't use it and leave it off. I pay top dollar to use my devices at their fullest. I've just accepted to let whatever Samsung says go in one ear and out the other. To be honest, with Samsung now offering cheap packaging, lower specs on the most expensive devices, a joke of a warranty, call centers with employees that know nothing about the products or who just outright lie to get a sale, I am about ready to move on from Samsung. I hope the U.S. opens the market to free trade again so Samsung can have some actual competition do have to deal with.
I switched from the Z Fold 2 to the Fold 4 and maaaan I love my new phone 🥲 the crease is almost not even visible. The battery is great, the brightness is a huge upgrade for me coming from the fold 2. And having a slightly larger cover screen really helps a ton. If you're upgrading form a fold 3 to 4 I wouldn't recommend it. But anything before that for sure makes the difference! Loving the phone for sure. 🙏🏽
Did you get samsung care+?
I’m getting my fold 4 today and I’m super excited for it. I’m not planning on keeping it, but still excited just to mess around and play with it
I'm coming from the 3 and it's a noticeable difference.
@@daniaalhussain8331 yes I did since I financed it through them as well.
@@alexisaguirrevideos i hope you enjoy it as much as I am, can I ask why why you don't plan on keeping it? My Fold 2 was a power house these last 2 years
I'm liking my ZFold 4 so far. Especially the Taskbar.
Same!!!
This is my third day with my fold 4. This is my first foldable and I am looking over the few draw backs of this phone ie: the crease, the inside camera which i don't even notice and no s-pen. I had a note 4 once and I never used the s-pen so I don't care about it. I don't see the crease when using and the battery life is improving as I use the phone. The small display is usable for quick stuff like phone calls, texting and checking my gmal. It looks fine and I don't mind it. Yes a litter wider would be nice but i'm good with it as is. The big display is spectacular and the split screen is a fantastic feature. One thing is a must, you have to get a case. The phone is slippery and with the $$$ spent I rather have a case with a holding strap. All in all, very happy with my purchase.
I got mine on Friday and I'm absolutely in love with it. Best phone I've had.
For the multi screen view with 3 apps, I would use it to have chrome, excel, and notes open. I use a spreadsheet I created to enter in a list of dances from class into a spreadsheet i created, then copy and paste the results from lookup formulas into notes, do a little editing there and then paste into this site I go to for logging information. That's one example for me. I definitely would use it more often than not. I like the idea of not feeling required to keep my tablets with me. Still debating on getting the fold 4 and I know have another day to think about it before this big promo ends. 🤔🤷🏽♂️🧐
It's meant to take notes while on a zoom meeting or watching a video while chatting on work chat. Or from grabbing and dragging files from one app to another. It's business on the go.
A review that isn't gushing the entire time, good job.
This will be my first folding screen and I really struggled on fold or flip/keeping 22 Ultra
The multi tasking and the shit ton of accessory credit has me getting the fold.
The z fold 4 has convinced my mum to finally upgrade from her ancient Note 3, I did get her a note 9 and 12 pro max which she handed right back. Let's hope she is not just going to pass it on and finally switch.
I think I might wait a couple of more iterations before investing in a foldable. Atm loving my S22 ultra.
Yeah. I'm having a hard time fathoming paying an extra grand plus trading in my S22 Ultra for a much lower spec camera system and fragile screen.
@@SooHooSamaSito same here
Ya I still have a note 10 plus. Working great and battery life still good. Need to make up my mind as I won't purchase after pre order deadline. Leaning towards waiting for the 23 ultra and waiting till the fold 7 or 8 to delve into foldables
@@manujoe72 All I think about is carrying this fold 4 in my pocket at the gym in my synthetic shorts. Absolute brick! No thanks! Maybe if they can minimize the size and weight in the future, I'll jump on board.
Anyone took the bullet and traded their s22u in for the fold 4.
I agree with your thoughts on the S pen. Only reason I don't want them to do that is because I don't want them to have a chance at getting rid of the "Note" option. I absolutely have no desire for a foldable but I love my "Note"!
I was the same way but I decided to risk it to try the fold. There's no way I could go back to a regular display. Try it and you might be pleasantly surprised
At their ridiculous prices, there should be an S-Pen Silo in every top tier device they make.
I thought they already ended the Note series and are now going with the Ultra series. No?
@@SooHooSamaSito I'm not sure how much experience you have with Samsung, but they discount everything. I got the $1900 fold 4 and $499 watch 5 pro for $850 for BOTH with a trade in. My fold 3 from last year was discounted to $800 when I traded in my note 20 the previous year. Free case, free s pen. I would never pay $2k for a phone, but $750 for a fold 4? All day. $32 for a $500 watch 5 pro.
@@V3NOMOUS22 I've been ordering unlocked devices from Samsung for years. With the Fold 4, they've included free buds2 Pro, case with stylus, 512gb upgrade, fast charging brick, screen protector and the other 6 month free Spotify, UA-cam, etc. nonsense. With a trade in of my unlocked S22 Ultra, they still want an extra $800. Now that I've seen enough reviews to realize that I'm paying an extra $800 over the $1400 I paid for my S22 Ultra for a huge downgrade. I've already received my return label and when the items get here this afternoon, I"m going to immediately ship them back to Samsung without bothering to open anything. But thank you for the heads up!
I've had my Z Fold4 for 2 days now, I love it. Switched from S10+. It is my first Foldable (smart) phone, and is such a unique device. I really like that it is a thicker device while being used as a regular phone.
I upgraded from the Fold 3 because of brightness and they delivered. It even has the option for more brightness and I love it. I would at least like to see the S-Pen either magnets to stick to the back like the pen for the Surface Duo or have that S-Pen case to have adhesive to stick it on the back if they cannot make an internal one. I do not carry it with me because I will lose it.
@Aunchient Pistol I got one free as a promo and tried. It was way too bulky for me. It became a tank. lol
One of the best reviews of the galaxy fold 4... i like how you keep mentioning that what you say is your own opinion and it helps me think before i make that decision. Thanks Saf.
Let's get this camera comparison to the iPhone 13 pro. I've already been comparing them and still shots have been better on the front and back camera on the fold 4. It actually surprised me, especially using night mode the dynamic range is better and everything. The cover screen is perfect imo because of the thickness of the phone. Who wants a thick phone and a super wide display like the others I see out there. They look clunky, Samsung nailed it imo. Battery is also much better. The 4 is sweet as pie.
Saf I think you are the most unbiased youtuber of Samsung devices.. most of your peers seem to have become Apple sheep of late.
I don't know how someone can justify upgrading from Fold 3 to 4, even with the trade-in offers it's very expensive for such marginal improvements. I think I will wait and see how the Fold 5 looks.
It will be malrginal improvements only as well lol.
Nah. Front screen is so much better to use, i barely open phone anymore. Battery life has been much better. Those 2 alone were worth an upgrade. And your foldn3 will just keep losing value and you'll risk having it break on you.
@@ArianTheDon88 then why buy a fold? Just wait for the s23u.
Im a mechanic, and have found having youtube up researching a fix to something while having notes up, making my own critiques works quite well. Also did a 3 way screen to voice text coworkers what i was finding for a fix. Worked alot easier than sending them the link and them going "wtf am i looking at"
It's super interesting to know about the crease bothering you when you want to do a full artwork, it's a very important point for me... glad to know about it now thanks to your video
Practical use for 3 screens - Maps on left screen and UA-cam along with UA-cam Music/Spotify on the right screen
Hey Saf your presentations are always great, however, your knowledge of the devices (Samsung)
leaves one wondering if you really understand how the device really works at it's best!!!
I often find your evaluations to be rather short sighted!!!
I would suggest that you dig a little deeper and present
a more accurate description of how it will work with a little more attention!
You don't always present the most accurate information for new buyers!!!
Got my fold 4 today. Literally everything about it I'd better than the 3. I don't get why people call it an incremental upgrade, the front display appears bigger and not as cramped, battery life has definitely been improved and the cameras and build make look and feel more premium. Im really loving the the flatter look of the phone.
Because these reviewers get their hands on so many devices, they've literally lost touch with what is a useful and significant upgrade to the average consumer. They are more concerned with the same ol' thumbnails and click-baity titles, and then flip flop back and forth.
So the battery life is much better?? I might return my iPhone 13 pro max for it today. I want the Gold 512GB
@@alphagodvon that's the one I got. My Fold 3 would normally be sitting around 65% battery by noon on an average use day. As of right now, it's sitting at 85% and it's currently little past 11am
If I was just hanging out or going on long trips I would totally use the multitasking windows. Podcast screen on one, sporting event on another, and then maybe my social media.
hopefully the zfold 5 will have even a wider screen plus a larger battery and a slightly wider space for the spen 8:9 aspect ratio which unfolds into a 16:9 aspect ratio which would gives the device more spcase to breate, room for bigger battery and better battery and well as being able to have the spen slot with all the air action features without the phone exploding
this. desperately want a larger fold lol and battery lol.
@@npcimknot958 because it makes sense I don't mind the cover display staying 6.2" it's the narrow display that bothers me, ya I prefer the size of the s22 ultra but since this is a folding phone I don't mind as I can unfold into a bigger display but I want the cover display to feel like a candy bar smartphone rather than a tv remote, they can make it the same size and aspect ratio as the s22, that phone is comfortable to use 1 hand and is usable, the zfold 4 cover display some what usuable but not as usuable as a normal sized candy bar phone. About the bigger battery their is no reson why the zfold 4 can't have bigger battery if the s22 ultra can fit a 5000mAh they could fit that in the zfold 4 atleast true it folds and a thinner device than the s22 ultra in unfolded mode but its also alot more wider than the s22 ultra when unfolded they are just cheaping out on us with the 4400mAh size and them sticking with a 4400mAh battery but not giving us internal spen support isn't reasonable with a small sized 4400mAh battery it's more than possible to fit the spen inside and the wider cover display can solve the problem, even though it's an imporvement from the pervious gens I would like it to be wider like the vivo fold atleast. Why don't u want a wider outter display and who doesn't want bigger battery lol
I have been using my Fold 4 for a week. It replaces an Exynos S22 Ultra. I had a Fold 3 (which I sold because it was too frustrating) so I can compare. Really, the Fold 4 is "just a bunch of little incremental upgrades" compared to the 3. But, these little things add up and the 4 is in fact a huge upgrade in terms of pleasure. Battery life, wider cover screen, task bar, easier to use multi-window, screen quality/brigthness, camera quality, all these little things together provide a totally new experience. Compared to fold 3 and exynos S22Ultra, it's a BIG winner.
Enjoy reading all the comments. Got a 512k red one on order should arrive wednesday... looking forward to setting it all up and then transfer across from the old S8+
EXCELLENT review, Saf! Looks fantastic to me! Wish I could afford it!
I missed my Fold 4 yesterday cause I was showing some family visiting my town around lol Fedex just left a note that they'll come back today. I'm gonna be impatiently waiting for that Ring notification for my package to arrive today. I'm so fucking excited!
I am in sales and my crm is on my phone. I use the three window view to have my calander, crm, and notes open when I am prospecting or following up with a client so I can put their information in my system, make sure I am not double booking myself, and take notes so I dont forget important information all without having to fumble around with switching apps which takes a lot of time when you have to flip back and forth between apps while talking to someone that I am already interrupting.
Wow that affiliate cod saved me so much money lmao thank you. Canceled my order I already had and ended up saving way more

I made a bold move and traded my S22 Ultra for the Z fold 4. It was not simple to leave the S22 Ultra which is an amazing device. First of all the camera. I had a good use of the x10 zoom (and the x30 zoom) but in the end i mostly use the x3 zoom. So i will miss opportunities but that's it. Regarding the S Pen I used it a few times but i always felt limited by the screen size. By the past i almost possessed all the Note series. At start the concept of phablet was something really new. But if we compare in size the first note with the S22Ultra, and it's the main issue for me, the S22Ultra is too large to fit in my pockets. On the over part the Fold4 is really a phablet, a phone with a correct size, fitting in my pockets, able to transform into a tablet. So far i'm really enjoying it and the confort procured by this phone. As for the battery life it seems to be on par with the S22U.
Do you use the main (inner) display a lot?
I'm actually debating between the Fold 4 and the S22 Ultra but sceptic about the battery life since the Fold has a smaller battery and a bigger screen
@@007Babush I have a mixed use. Biggest screen is used mostly for videos, reading and web browing. Regarding the s22U i had at start i could use it for 1,5 days without charging it. Latety it was a full day at max.

This dudes representation of Samsung devices are always lack... it's like he googles as much as he can runs with the phone for a few hours maybe a day... then makes a video like he's had it for weeks maybe a month and it's confusing or off-putting to new users or people wanting to upgrade from Apple... I hope people watch more than one videos than one
Thanks for the input. Been an apple user for 12 years now. Picking up my fold 4 tomorrow. ( ill keep scrolling :))
Yeah, there is so much better reviewers out there.
What are you talking about? He even brings up how to hold it and which way would be more responsive that's not on Google haha. Idk man I think you watch 2 minutes and just leave a message. It's a 20 minute video he didn't just talk about what you find on Google. You didn't even watch it seems. He brought up alot of things from his own usage that I haven't seen anybody bring up yet.
At the end of the day, it'll truly be up to the user. I don't think people are as blinded as they once were. The need for another to influence their decision is lower I feel. However, there is still some people that think Android is as bad as it's once was. I remember wanting to switch to Android, when the last iPhone I had was the IPhone XS Max. I had a feeling they were just going to be releasing the same thing year after year, and the Oppo Find X actually broke the curse on me. I use to watch Apple events, and hearing things like, "we're the first to-" "never done before" and instead of researching elsewhere to see if it was true, I didn't. Mostly because, I was so blinded. I didn't even know there was this thing called "Android." I had no idea there were phones other than the IPhone. The Oppo Find X was spreading so fast at the time, that it ended up on my youtube home page. It was trending like crazy. I also remember thinking, theres a new phone coming to the market? To compete with Apple? Not knowing there were so many different manufacturers, and models of phones, varying in different shapes and sizes, etc for years. Honestly, even today, going out and seeing something other than an IPhone is rare, mostly unheard-of I feel. Once looking into Android, and at the time, the Note 9 (first and favorite Android, or Samsung phone for the longest) I was being told to stay away by people who were reviewing it. They talked horribly on the software experience, and the performance provided by the Snapdragon, etc. People also loved pointing out how different IPhone and Androids are. When it doesn't really matter. At least for me it didn't. I love innovation, and can't complain about the experience I've received from Samsung with software. It's grown so much since then. My Note 9 was not the best when it came to software (whatever it was running at the time) but it wasn't enough to scare me away either. Nor was the performance. It was quite powerful. I'm glad I didn't run away. I'm currently with my second folding device. It has yet to yet to get old. Still so refreshing using it everyday. What I'm trying to say is, everyone is different. People gripe at things on the fold that I can't see to gripe about. They aren't complaints of mine. Some viewers might allow videos to direct them, but you really need to experience things on your own. I definitely feel like it would be harder, as the coverage and come up of Androids has been insane. Android is nothing like it was. It's come so far. Fortunately, I pulled the plug. I realized what I wanted in a phone, and Android has been able to provide that. Along with manufacturers (Samsung particularly). I feel like I'm everywhere with what I'm trying to say, but I think you get what I mean. I wouldn't be worried about this, or anyone else putting off viewers.
no point in watching a phone infulencers "opinion" they change phones every few weeks, I've had the fold 1 2 and 3, get my fold 4 tomorrow, and it's hand Down the best device I've had the pleasure of owning, my advice is to go to the nearest Samsung experience store and try the device to see if you like it, the staff are usually more than happy to demo them and show off the features.
The camera should've been the best of the best. It's actually not worthy of a 1.7k phone
I upgraded from the Z fold 3, I keep hearing reviewers say the crease is the same....unless it gets worse over time, it is not the same. It was the first thing I noticed taking it out of the box. It isn't as deep as on my Z fold 3. I always noticed the crease to an extent on that phone...the Z Fold 4 is easier to ignore for me, and I've compared them directly side by side so I know it's not a placebo effect. It's still very much there but it's definitely more shallow to my eye and harder to notice even with angle shifts. It's slight, but I see it.
I concur
Second that
(I think it's just cool rn too hate the crease)
Happened the same to me, switching from the Fold 2 to the 3 also noticed the crease less visible and not as deep as with the Fold 2, BUT, I think the crease deepens more and more over time, today when I opened my Fold 4, the crease was very minimal compared to the Fold 3 (side by side). So, I think the crease will get more noticeable over time. Regards!
💯 I have fold 3 and fold 4 and it is obvious the crease is far less visually and the feel.
As far as multi windows function, I am excited to get this phone tomorrow so I can enter the holiday season with that feature. I think it's going to be a game changer with holiday shopping, price comparison and a calculator floating around on top of it!
Ordered mine yesterday and the watch… feel like a kid waiting for xmas.. can’t wait for it to arrive
Two questions....does Waze support full screen and does this phone charge in your Tesla? I have probelms with my S22 in our Tesla.
I actually use the 3 window multi task on my fold 3 for work atleast 2x a week on the field when im not in my office, 1# is the zoom meeting then we pass our pdf work sheet thru email so 2# is the email app the 3# is a pdf editor to look at the documents and e-sign if needed. So here you go a example of 3 windows multi task 😂
Now that I have had my fold for a while I realized there's one thing that I'm absolutely loving! Since it is so thick it's like those old big phones or even the landline member how back in the 90s you could do things and just kind of put the phone in between your shoulder and your ear and just laying down on it while you're doing something and continue to talk the full being so thick makes it much easier to do that then you could do with the S21
Multiple window is useful if you are a stock market trader. You can view charts on two window [Index and Stock] and place your order on the third one [In case your broker is not connected to trading view]
Great vid as usual ! Do you mind sharing your wallpaper?
Always useful information and I'll be staying with my S22 Ultra as well.
Practical uses for the 3 windows (if you're a football fan)
1. Live game on Sky Go
2. WhatsApp group chat with your football friends
3. Social Media
I'm personally looking forward to getting mine for this alone, especially when I'm away from home and want to feel connected. Exciting bit of kit!
I legitimately use multitasking on my fold 4 sometimes all 3 windows and that's for trading stocks it's Actually a big part in why I got the phone.
Is this deja vu or a re-upload? Anyway, I’m definitely torn between on getting this or the Pixel 7 Pro
I came from an iphone 12 pro max and the fold 4 is by far the best purchase i have made. The battery life is pretty good for my usage and i get about 7 hours of screen on time a day. Scree iphone and apple. Its all about android and the fold from now on😂
I don't know many who have made that apple to android jump. Did you get adjusted pretty easily?
@@Sullytaan I did get adjusted pretty easily. Im familiar with android because i had the Galaxy S3 10 years ago. I've been with apple and iPhone for about 8 years until now with the fold 4.
I continue to use my cellular apple watch for phone calls and iMessage texting.
As a digital illustrator, I really don't even mind the crease. I posted a quick time-lapse on reddit and I had no noticeable issues due to the crease. If it did it was so minimal I didn't even notice. Also using the standing case that comes with the spen and while it's slightly thicker, I do enjoy having the slightly better grip for my fingers, plus the pen holder actually provides a slant that keeps the camera off any surface even more than just the case would provide.
3 screens nice, I can open 1 for my stock trading on my app while checking LiVe stock activity and lastly watching your UA-cam 😀
My thoughts as well.
Thanks for the info and discount link, looking forward to my new phone.
Mine is on order and I can't wait to get my hands on it. I traded up from my Fold 2 so it will be a larger jump in tech compared to a trade up from the 3. I like the Microsoft type row at the bottom of the phone plus the much easier method of dividing the screen up which was something I didn't do because of how cumbersome it was to initiate. Plus I was not happy with the camera on the 2 in low light setting so this should be a major upgrade for me. Oh! Not to mention those rebates and trade in value were fantastic on my fold 2.
Same for me. I will stay using my S22 Ultra for now.
this has around the same battery life as the s22 ultra because the new 8+ gen 1 processor is well optimized and performs much better and that optimization makes the battery life much better despite the zfold 4 having same battery size as the zfold 3 and they also have a better display tech, both the zfold and zflip uses the M12 pro display tech which only consumes 48% of the dynamic 2x amoled tech found on the zfold 3, s22 ultra etc.... plus they have the new power saving mode which lowers the performce very slightly to last years z series which still performs great and the adaptive refresh rate feature isn't limited. The zfold 4 doesn't give any new featue I'd basically call this the zfold 3 edition as it just improves alot of things wrong with the zfold 3 even though it doesn't have any feature feature I'd say it's an important upgrade it's pretty much like android 13 in a way, although they could've added dust resistance, spen support on the cover display and gotten rid of the crease because this is the 4th gen of the product so that crease being their not the end of the world but not acceptable. Other than these changes despite them adding more optimized processor I want to see 4800-5000 mAh battery, wider display and enclosed spen as well as atleast making the main camera sensors s23 ultra while keeping rest of the camera lens s23/s23+ and would like to see the camera fully flushed and the phone to sit flat and please Samsung make their cases better and add hinge protection they can just glue the 2 peces together with a thin stretchable sleeve as well as making it such as fit were you don't have to put stickers because what it you want to change cases and putting that hinge protection not only protects the hinges but also prevents the case from sliding off without using stickers hopefully 3rd party maunfacterers pay attention to this
Watching this on my brand New galaxy z fold 4 and I love it
This is the reason regarding the frame i wished they use stainless steel for foldables. Just look at iPhones, they dont easily dent.
Can't wait to get mine! It's two days away. My first fold phone.
The Z Fold4 is actually a really good device, minus the really visible crease, but compared to the Fold3 the upgrades are too minor. More foldables should come to the global stage to compete with Samsung!
vivo and Xiaomi also produced some really good foldable
the price is also too high... apple can make a more tempting phone simply by re-launching the 13 pro max this year.
The crease is actually noticeably less prominent than on the Fold 3 on my unit at least...
I think upgrading every other year is the way to go. That way the incremental changes feel more substantial.
@@Oc603 I'm getting the Fold 4 for $800 with the trade-in of my Fold 2.
Doesn't feel too high to me.
I have not got my fold yet, so take my opinion as the speculation it is, but I think having the larger s-pen as a separate accessory is a better idea, I never used the s-pen much on the notes I had in the past as it was just 2 narrow and 'unnatural' to hold. I thought it was just me not liking writing on a screen (no texture) but since getting a 2-in-1 laptop with a pen, I actually really like it because its larger and more like holding a real pen, the only complaint is the palm rejection, which I hear is quite good on the fold 4.
the s-pen included with the case looks like its about the size a normal pen/pencil, if it was in the phone it would have to be smaller than the one in the old notes or the phone would have to be a lot thicker (at least on one half) particularly with the 2 screen.
I use the three break down of the screen. I watch my professor in the floating window. I read the book in another window and I keep the last window open for OneNote to take notes in class.
Must have been big improvements in the battery life with software updates since it was released and this video was made. I've had the phone for a few weeks and on the latest firmware I get between 6 and 7 hours SOT with 90%+ of that screen time on the foldable display. No complaints.
I got my fold 4 on the 17th, idk how it arrived early but it did
I've been using it as my daily after upgrading from a S20U. And it's an amazing phone. The crease isn't noticeable and the under display camera is basically invisible. I tried the fold 3 and I must say the 4's front display is much but for size, and i can 2 finger it (my hands aren't that small). The camera improvements are quite the upgrade even compared to an ultra phone that isn't that old. And I'll be honest, I was intimidated by the split keyboard, but it's very natural feeling and I picked it up pretty quickly.
And yes the durability is very good, even without a case on it I fell off my bicycle and the phone hit pure asphalt, bearly a mark on the device.
My only complaint is that you definitely need to carry a microfiber with you. The screen easily picks up finger prints on the inside, and when closed it tends to attract alot of dust in the gap
Overall an amazing phone, I don't think I'll ever be able to go back
When I draw over the crease it never bothers me.. my samsung case doesn't make my phone thicker and it holds my s pen to the "spine" of the phone so it's out of the way when not in use. As far as the cameras, they aren't on par with my iPhone but I'm never left unsatisfied. My phone was a birthday gift so I'm not trying to justify any money spent lol
P.S. I've never been able to justify choosing android over iPhone or vice versa but now the iPhone camera is the only thing I'd ever pick it up for.
A real world practical reason to use 3 apps on the screen: I prop my phone up in the kitchen using the kickstand case. I start smoking a brisket outside so I have the weber app open in one lower quadrant to monitor the meat while I prepare the sides in the kitchen. I'm expecting a fedex package that I need to sign for so I have my doorbell cam open so I can see if the van pulls up and quickly wash my hands. On the remaining top half of the screen I put on your latest video so I can keep up to date on the latest tech while I cut vegetables.
I'm an art student and I bought this phone. I love drawing on it. I don't do clean line art and have a painterly style. I absolutely adore this phone! Perfect choice if I am looking at a reference while painting or drawing on the phone itself. If you're an artist this is the best phone.
If it matters I'm coming from an s20 but previously owned many note phones, none of which really stuck with me for creating art. I wanted them too but they were too small, and pretty weak. The 12gb of ram is great for art software, and there is minimal brush lag
I got the beige/gold version which looks prominent. All my previous phones had White, Grey or Black back.
As a day trader in stock market, I find the multiwindow feature very useful. 4 windows for trading app, calculator, stocks news, and note app or youtube
A practical reason that I use often for the triple screen display, is when I log accounts in quickbooks for my job on the go. I can have quickbooks open as the main, my notes from word in another, then my excel spreadsheets with workbooks in the third. Also, I use the fourth for my bank account app to check transaction history for my clients and pair transactions to code in quickbooks.
the three window function is great for me who likes to draw (biggest window) and have a reference tab or social media app open, and also listen/watch youtube. all at the same time. i usually use my laptop for the other two.
I really liked this review. Very informative. Just that I'll never have the money to buy this.
The main reason I would use multiple screens at the same time is when I am working on few social media for example and need to look at something while I am finalising a text or edit something.
When you are sending an email but need to look at something else in order to finish your email without jumping from one screen to another and login in again and again on the previous device if it's a mobile baking, crypto platform and etc.
Keep current stock/crypto open to check whats going on and at the other side just browse regular social media or internet browsing.
the 2 screen modes is very usable for me when i want to send aa file, so the app i want to use is on the left, and te gallery is on the right, and you can drag the file u want to the app from the gallery or file manager, after that when i can't sleep i usually scroll tiktok and reading the comment there, but because its a big display, i watch the videos on the left and swiping through the comment on the right, i don't now how many peope out there who use the phone like that, but i'm very happy with that features which i can't get on a regular smartphone
Anyone having Android Auto issues with the Fold 4? Not connecting at all!! Saf did you try it?
I'm coming from the Z Fold 2 and I must say, I am definitely digging it! I see myself using the outer screen then the inner screen.
❤️❤️❤️
Perfect details note 📝 great work
Information good job bro
On the uses of multiple windows open, I would use that to keep things like UA-cam running audibly but still being able to shop, make Pinterest boards and game at the same time. Some people 🙋🏻♀️ like alot of stimulation. Some people actually require it to process. Win foe me
That's only an example, of visual, audible and active use simultaneously. I frequently mix this up in all of the ways
Great video. Just got my flip4 but maybe I’ll try the fold in a few years. If I can ever stomach the price. 😂
I traded my Fold 3 and got S22 Ultra - best decision ever!
Personally I’d use the 3 window option for working out my finances- my notes app, chrome and my calculator
I've had mine since Saturday. I'm coming from an old S9+, so this is a huge upgrade. My only complaints are the weight, would have liked it bigger, storage for the SPen (I hate cases). Other than that, this thing is a beast! I've used multiwindows when talking on the phone with clients, opening up the calendar to set a date while having my email open as well as zoom to schedule that in too. If I'm on FB, I'll usually have youtube Vanced running at the top with a podcast or something. Watching vids or Toks while commuting is awesome. The whole thing is just too good.
I've not had any issue with battery life, mind you, I have wireless chargers in my car, by my computer, by my bed. So not that big a deal in our modern lives. But from the tests I've seen this thing has better battery life than than the S22 Ultra anyway. But ya, I keep finding more to like with this thing and I can't imagine going back to a candybar phone again after this.
i thought they took YT vanced out. give me the tea please!
@@CJ_Figy they did but you can still find the apks to download. Should work for some time, but just won't be updated. Hopefully by the time UA-cam doesn't work well on it anymore, someone will have come out with something else..
Still debating getting the fold 4 but if I do I'd keep the s22ultra and finance the device outright. I've heard enough stories of people waiting weeks for their device to get repaired. I am still a little skeptical about the durability. Folding glass is still maturing technology. I see the internals being slimmed down a little and possibly wider and a bit taller to get flagship cameras and a bit bigger battery.
I thought the S22 Ultra had a bigger battery so shouldn't it have a better battery life?
@@007Babush the fold 4 is using the 8 gen 1+ which is a much better soc
Seems like maybe you should slap a case onto your phone next time rather than blaming it on Samsung’s choice of phone material:)
19:00 I have the Fold 2 and use a capacitive touch pen with rubber tip and "floating disc" for screen use. It works great and I have not had any production problems with it. With the exception of a few dead pixels (my fault for sitting on it and also sleeping on it) I have never had a problem with it and it powers through my day. The only upgrade for me to the Fold 4 would be the camera... except I don't take many pictures... like, almost none... So for me, I'll stick to the Fold 2 for a little bit longer.
Yes I was waiting for this intro, if you dont do this intro I don't watch😂
I didn't like the big black bars when watching UA-cam or nitflex, for now I will stick with 10" s6 amoled.
I can use 3 windows for drafting email, open an xl or pdf on the 2nd to view data and type it on emails and on 3rd youtube or voice clip to hear some lecture or podcast.
People complaining about the crease, it's never going away, it folds like a book. If you don't want the crease, stick with a regular boring size phone. But the fold is innovative for phones, and of course samsung brought it to life. I love the fold 4. I get so many looks and questions about my fold. I am a fold 2 user upgraded to the fold 4. This is my go to phone like the note series use to be, but I won't upgrade every year.
I switched to the fold 4 from a s22 ultra and i was worried about the downgrade in battery and charging. It's been a week and I haven't missed it at all, so I guess I had nothing to worry about
Does the battery last long ?
@@dupasraja9885 it definitely seems like the cpu is doing its job. i feel like my s22 ultra would last longer than the fold 4 doing nothing. there are days were i run the full screen a lot and you would assume it would drain the battery like crazy and it doesnt. i never even have to think about charging it throughout the day. the biggest difference i notice is the charging speed is slower. about 1.5 hours using my 100w gan pps charger whereas the s22ultra was 55 minutes from dead.
@@lozodidit Thank you for your reply. Greatly appreciated buddy.
The multiple tiles could be useful if you had 3 WiFi cameras connected to your device for streaming live from different angles?
Ordered the burgundy version and color pops!
