The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is lighter and more durable than its predecessor, boasts the fastest processor in the Galaxy Z Fold series, a pro-grade camera system, and tablet-like functionality that makes multitasking a breeze. Words Adam Colby FOLD IT!

SAMSUNG FOLDS FLAGSHIP FEATURES INTO THE GALAXY Z FOLD4 Demand for foldable smartphones has taken off and Samsung once again leads the charge with the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold4, delivering a smartphone and tablet-like experience that fits comfortably in your pocket. The Fold4 incorporates the 50MP wide camera found on the Galaxy S22, with 30x Space Zoom and greater versatility when it comes to app use. Qualcomm’s next-gen processor, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, powers the device, offering a 17 per cent increase in CPU performance when compared to

the Fold3. And there’s a whopping 512GB of internal storage (a 256GB model is coming soon). The ultimate do-more device, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 is your constant companion for work, play, streaming, socials and more.

Pro level camera system The Fold4 features a flagship camera system, sporting a 50MP wide angle, 10MP telephoto with 3x Optical Zoom, and 12MP ultra-wide on the rear. A 10MP cover camera and discreet 4MP under-display camera complete an impressive array. The 50MP main camera also features a Detail Enhancer to increase depth and sharpness and banish any blur. Nightography captures clear photos after dark and in low light environments, and clips gain extra clarity with Advanced OIS and VDIS to smooth out video, along with Super Night Solution to limit noise in low light. Innovative hardware and software work in unison to brighten low light portraits and boost colour and clarity. Capture View lets you instantly check the pics you’ve just snapped and stage a reshoot if required, while the cover screen’s Dual Preview mode enables the subject to check that they’re looking their very best in the shot. There are also a range of inbuilt editing and post production tools to touch up images and erase unwanted objects and photobombers. Appy days With more apps now optimised for the Fold4’s expansive screen, you can enjoy an immersive full screen experience while working or playing, and seamlessly switch between them instantly with just one click. And App Pair launches up to three apps with one tap for quick navigation.

More screen real estate With slimmer bezels and a re-engineered hinge, the Galaxy Z Fold4 has an expansive main screen that’s akin to using a tablet. The 7.6” Dynamic AMOLED 2x display and wide 6.2” cover screen have a refresh rate of up to 120Hz for super smooth gaming on the go and improved typing, and an unobtrusive under the-screen front camera for distraction-free viewing. The display is well protected against daily wear
