Advice Galaxy The S is the pinnacle of Samsung's smartphone portfolio, but Galaxy Z Fold simply towers over her. It is a smartphone combined with a tablet. But it doesn't surpass it just because of that, its unrivaled highest price is also to blame. But it can be really justified considering what the Fold can do. So what is he like? Galaxy From the Fold4 after the first minutes of using it? 

The first generation could have been a revolution, the following ones only bring evolutionary improvements, in which Samsung listens to feedback and adjusts everything. He could leave everything as it is and just throw in better cameras and a chipset, but it wouldn't be enough. Even because of the few millimeters by which the chassis of the device was reduced and expanded, it was worth reprogramming all the production lines, because the whole is then controlled all the better.

At least that's how he presents himself. The device is lower in height and the front display is thus more in line with classic touch screens, although it is still a bit narrower. It is expected that the main one will serve only the inner one. When you pick up the Fold4 in its closed state, it's just a slightly thicker phone to you. But there is a clear added value when you turn it into a tablet in an instant.

There is no hinge spring here either, so you can open the device to the position you need. Unfortunately, nothing happened here either with regard to the limitation of his groove, so you have no choice but to simply get used to it. The selfie camera in the front display is in the hole, the internal one is under the display. Samsung has made the pixels denser here, so even on a light background it's less distracting, but you'll know about it. This technology is quite young, so maybe next time. 

Cameras from the range Galaxy S 

Another big change has taken place in the area of ​​the main cameras. These are larger and more prominent and are the ones that the company used on the series phones as well Galaxy S22. The Ultra ones wouldn't fit. So as far as the hardware is concerned, it is Galaxy Fold4 an equivalent device for the S series, in addition without Exynos but with Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (it also has Flip4), which is after the problems with the series Galaxy With just fine.

What is important is that Samsung also focused on the software part, so the device works better with multitasking and drag and drop gestures. Even older models with a system update will get them, but a lot of space is dedicated to them, because they raise the impression of using the device to the next level. Here, too, it is necessary to mention that the Fold4 contains that "security" foil and that the S Pen only supports the internal display. And no, it's not built-in.

Thick, heavy, ultimate 

The Galazy Z Fold4 is a large device. If you are going to consider him, you have to take this into account. You will not mind its height or width, but especially its thickness and weight. You can feel it in your pocket, and if you cover it with a cover, it will be even more amplified. I can't really imagine walking with it in the mountains, but using it as a combination of a phone and a tablet, which is what it is primarily intended for anyway, will be very convenient.

You must have a use for such a device. If you only like the design, you'll be grateful for the Flip, which is also significantly cheaper. The Fold is a hi-end device that also pays well. But for that, it will provide you with the maximum of what modern electronic devices can do. We'll see how it proves itself in a longer-term test, but it's clear that in terms of performance and cameras, it will be the best, the displays are also of adequate quality, so the question remains whether people will be willing to struggle with it. However, if you own the previous generation, you already know the answer, the few grams it has lost are not very noticeable.
