GALAXY Z FOLD4
It feels like just yesterday that Samsung surprised everyone with a foldable smartphone, and now, already in its fourth iteration, the Galaxy Z Fold4 is almost perfect. It’s a bit on the heavy side, and perhaps a touch narrow if you’re not used to it, but don’t let that deter you – the Fold4 is easily one of the most covetable devices out there.
Folded, you can use it like you would any other smartphone, but when opened up it becomes a streaming dream with tabletlike multitasking functionality. The beautiful 7.6” Infinity Flex Display supports HDR+ and there’s even a front-facing camera camouflaged under that big screen (which now supports Samsung’s S Pen stylus). This is a Samsung smartphone, after all, so you already know that the Z Fold4’s rear camera line-up is as premium as it gets. The 50-megapixel wide-angle camera and 30× space zoom are very impressive and we particularly liked using the main screen as the viewfinder.
More than anything, the Z Fold4 feels durable – there’s a new and improved hinge mechanism and it’s (finally!) waterproof.
This is, by far, the best foldable device created by the tech giant. RRP R36 999 samsung.com/za
