From customising what widgets I want on the covers screen to getting used to what the phone’s flipping nature has to offer – which is quite a few but we’ll go into that in the review article. Setting the phone up took some time but they were enjoyable. Honestly, I used to dread using a phone that I’d have to unfold/unflip every time something important comes up but thanks to my days spent with the Z Fold3, I’ve grown accustomed to such exercise. I need to charge the phone at least twice a day and have to be especially vigilant with its battery life as well as my charging discipline because it takes 30 minutes to get it up to 50% (+/-). At 3,700mAh, the Flip4 has 12% more juice but that is still only 3,700mAh which isn’t exactly convincing. The Z Flip4 comes with a slightly bigger battery than its older sibling the Flip3. Who would have thought? That the biggest attraction of the Z Flip4 to me would be how it handles an app from its biggest market rival. So, it really put me in a bad mood whenever I’m in the middle of a job and want to see which song I’d like to quickly skip to. On the S22 Ultra, Apple Music no longer shows on the lock screen, only Spotify does. As an S22 Ultra user before this, I had to turn the screen on and off to access that information.īut perhaps the biggest turning point for me is how the Apple Music app interface is actually presented and accessible from the cover screen. If you don’t use a smartwatch like me, simple actions like tracking steps on the Samsung Health app can also be easily accessible on the Z Flip4’s cover screen. Messages can be previewed and replied to directly via ‘quick reply, a speed dial of up to 3 people can be easily set. The cover screen that seemed rather pointless to me at first because of its dwarven-sized took less than a day to convert me into a fan with its convenient and pampering widgets. The phone’s body is largely resistant to any staining, but as you can probably guess, metal finishes and the cover screen are the two parts that are vulnerable to these intrusions, so I found myself maintaining its appearance rather regularly by wiping off the fingerprint from the metal hinges and making sure the cover screen wasn’t blurred by any stains. But no matter which one you pick, you”ll be getting a beautiful phone.įor this review, we got the Pink Gold model that looked really elegant with a smooth hazy surface finish surrounded by its sleek metal frame.

The Galaxy Z Flip4 in Malaysia will come in four variants including the customisable Galaxy Z Flip4 Bespoke Edition model. Otherwise, the new phone looked and feel largely the same as the older model until we look at their specs, of course, where meaningful comparisons can finally be made. I’ve used a Fold phone before and only managed to toy around with the Z Flip3 from last year for a while, but never really used it as my day-to-day phone.Īt first glance, it’s hard to tell the Z Flip4 apart from its older Z Flip3 sibling except for the noticeable raised bumps circling the camera lenses that serve as the lens’ protection. This was special for me because this was my first experience with a Flip phone.
