Admittedly, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is a little older, having been released in the summer of 2022, but its age means that the former top-of-the-range mobile phone is now also affordable for a mid-range budget. At its core, it offers the same exclusive appeal as the current Flip 6: when closed, it disappears into any trouser pocket, and when unfolded, it reveals a large OLED display...

The Flip 4 is cheaper and technically hardly worse than the Flip 5: The camera is practically identical, the processor hardly slower. But it lacks the great outdoor display. But the idea of an XXL mobile that shrinks as if by magic is fascinating here too.

Samsung has hit the bull's eye with the fourth generation of its compact folding smartphone. This is also due to the fact that this form factor is practically out of competition in Germany. The only alternative, the Motorola Razr2022, has only just gone on sale, while the Flip has been on sale since August2022...

With the Galaxy Z Flip, the South Korean tech giant Samsung has successfully eliminated the biggest weakness of the predecessor model - the short battery life due to the too small battery. Apart from that, the technical improvements are manageable and the visual differences are only marginal.

Samsung's Flip is currently the best small folding phone. The technology is similarly strong as in the Galaxy S22 Plus, only the telephoto and DeX mode are missing. When opened, it has a nice big display. When folded up, it even fits into a normal jeans front pocket. The mini-display shows basic information.
