Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Impressions: The Foldable Phone You Would Want To Buy In 2022
Samsung has done a good job overall to make buyers feel confident about buying the Z Flip 4 as their first foldable smartphone.

Talking about the Android smartphone market, there are not many handsets out there that you can proudly flaunt around after spending upwards of Rs 70,000. In India, if someone’s budget is close to around Rs 1 lakh for buying a new smartphone, there are mainly two options– get the iPhone 13 series or flagships from Samsung. And if you don’t want an iPhone, then your choices are mostly restricted to the Samsung Galaxy S22 series and the Z Flip 4 or Z Fold 4. And it goes without saying that Samsung is the only brand out there that is making reliable foldable smartphones.

Samsung strongly believes that foldable smartphones are the future and the fact that the new Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4 devices have ventured into the 4th-generation already, reveals how serious Samsung is when it comes to foldables.

Now, it is obvious that it takes a certain change in the mind frame of buyers to spend a big amount on buying a foldable smartphone that comes with a plastic display and a crease in the middle.

The durability has been a concern for foldable phones but Samsung has focused heavily on this by strengthening the aluminium frame body, adding IPX8 water-resistance, providing stronger hinge and Corning Gorilla Glass Victus on the cover screen. Samsung now is actually advertising the durability by claiming that the Z Flip 4 “withstands drips and drops". But unless Samsung is actually able to deliver the impossible– a real flexible screen that is made of glass, we think that durability will be a question in the minds of first time buyers of foldable phones.

On the contrary, many who have already invested in a foldable phone, claim that the convenience and ease of use is unparalleled. It’s like after using a foldable phone, you may feel devices that don’t fold as a ‘downgrade’.

Talking about the new Galaxy Z Flip 4, it’s a power-packed compact device that looks classy. If you have the money and if you want the most stylish phone in 2022 then the Z Flip 4 is a no-brainer. In fact, there’s no other phone in the market that matches the design prowess of the Z Flip 4.

It has most of the hardware and software capabilities of Samsung flagship. Having said that, there is no support for Samsung DeX and S-pen stylus on the Z Flip 4.
