If you haven't stepped into the waters of Samsung folding devices yet, but you'd like to do so, you just don't know whether to go for the Z Fold or the Z Flip, we'll try to make this decision easier for you. In both cases, these are great devices, but it is also necessary to approach them both slightly differently.
Now let's ignore the price, which of course can also play a role, because the Z Fold4 starts at 44 CZK, the Z Flip990 at 4 CZK. Let's focus more on the construction and the actual use. This is based on the very appearance of the device, where the Z Flip is actually just a clamshell smartphone, while the Z Fold combines its use with a tablet.

Galaxy Z-Flip4
If we're being honest about the Z Flip, it's not a flagship or flagship model. It's basically more of a series model Galaxy A, which of course scores with its display technology and unique construction, but which offers the most powerful possible chip that was on the market at the time of the product's launch, which also distinguishes it from the A series. It's not a workhorse, it's more of a lifestyle device that you'll enjoy using not just because of its sense of control, but also the Flex mode.
He also enjoys its external display, whose display and operation is the same as in the case Galaxy Watch. You will feel right at home in its interface, and you can perfectly match its display with your Samsung smart watch. It's the details that make up the whole, and which are brought to perfection here. The internal 6,7" display is ideal for normal operation of the system and its functions and options, thanks to the performance of the device you definitely do not have to worry about playing even demanding games, the battery will last you a day.

The photos are not among the best, because it cannot be said that the cameras are somehow at the top in terms of hardware. Samsung was limited by space here, and what it came up with here is enough for normal use. The photos are pleasant, albeit a lot tinted, but you will have less to do with their post-production. Z Flip4 is simply a fun smartphone with a unique design and technologies, which is not meant to be a workhorse but your elegant and versatile accessory.
Galaxy ZFold4
Galaxy The Z Fold4 is Samsung's most expensive smartphone, and it's true that this device can defend this unflattering position well. This is of course due to its equipment, which offers two large displays, the Snapgragon 8 Gen 1 chip (which also has Z Flip4), but also a great set of cameras. In addition, the wide-angle used from the series reigns supreme Galaxy S22 (not Ultra).

The Flip's clear added value is its internal 7,6" display, which can replace a tablet. And that's exactly the difference compared to Flip. You can have Z Flip4 and with it Galaxy Tab, but you can only have the Z Fold4 and nothing else, because this device combines both worlds. In the closed state, it is only a slightly thicker phone with a 6,2" display, but in the open state, the world opens up to you with a huge range of options, which underlines One UI 4.1.1 and its potential, which is immeasurable.
It is not only about consuming more content, but also about better and more intuitive multitasking. But if the Z Flip4 is intended for the masses, the same cannot be said for the Z Fold4. Not everyone will use its capabilities, not everyone needs to use a tablet. If you belong to the second group who think that a tablet is useless for them, the Z Fold is also useless for you.

So which one to reach for?
It's quite simple. If you want a cute, compact and fun phone, go for the Z Flip. If you want the most versatile device that combines the world of a smartphone and the world of a tablet without carrying two devices with you, the Z Fold will be the ideal tool for you. It only offers one limitation and that is of course stamina.
Two devices in the form of a phone and a tablet simply naturally last longer than a single device that uses only one battery for both senses of use. But it cannot be said that the Z Fold could not handle a maximum busy working day. In addition, if you are worried about its thickness, it is not entirely correct. The thickness doesn't matter in the pocket, because the device compensates for it by how narrow it is overall. Paradoxically, it can be worn better like that Galaxy S22 Ultra.
