If the Galaxy Z Flip received a new version in 2022, it is clear that the Fold would not be left out of this. Consumers gained one more option to choose from in the folding market — dominated in Brazil so far by Samsung — which is part of the category. 1r5j6k

O Galaxy Z Fold4 5G stands out from the rest not only for its striking aesthetic feature, but for delivering high-quality performance, in addition to incredible photos. Perhaps it was to be expected that the result would be good. But here we are talking about excellence.

O showmetech received a ZFold4 in cream color, 256 GB. Learn more about product features below.

Just as Z-Flip4, it is impossible not to mention that the Galaxy z fold4 it is one of the most ingenious phones in its design. Unlike the Flip, which opens upwards, the Fold line divides the screen in the middle like a book, achieving several possibilities in the way the would like to enjoy this device.

In a succinct box, accompanied by a manual and a power cable with a source - good for the consumer - Samsung's smartphone is a star. Weighing 263 grams, the new version of the cell phone has an external screen wider than its predecessor, with 6,8 inches. If the model wasn't foldable, this would already be a great screen for those who like to see every detail of their favorite content.

When we open it, it's even better: there are two split screens of 3,6 inches each. This equates to a 3mm gain compared to the Z Fold3. The cell phone is IPX8 certified, with resistance to water and dust. In general, we honor technical improvements that are very welcome in this new generation. Its charm is unique, but better than that, it is functional.

screen and performance 3q445p

For the fourth generation, Samsung brought the processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen1, responsible for the best performance on Android smartphones to date. In practice, this is visible: the use is extremely fluid. Accessing and running applications is practical and efficient, without any interference. A great goal from the South Korean company.

all screens of ZFold4 have the technology 2X Dynamic AMOLED, with variable refresh rate up to 120Hz. This means that from a 30-minute video running at 1080p on YouTube to a simple typing on Samsung Notes, it's all very fast, responsive and vibrant. The colors jump out at the 's eyes. The best test to prove this point is to open an animated-style game like Brawl Stars. Fancy colors often reveal how powerful a cell phone screen can be.

Speaking of games, this smartphone has a very interesting new feature called Flex Mode. With it, you can adapt the screen size to cover her view while open. At the Brawl Stars, for example, there is a limit on the player's field of view during matches. With Flex, the sees everything. This is also useful for using touchpad and improve navigation.

Another new tool is the application shortcut at the bottom of the screen. It basically works like a Windows taskbar and allows instant access to favorite or recently closed apps.

With the smartphone open, it is also possible to use both screens at the same time, with different tabs running. For example, when opening Settings, one side shows the available tabs and the other already shows the features within that tab. In other content, such as games and videos, the transmission is done in full screen, both with the screen rotated and in traditional mode.

Those who want to further modernize the experience can use the S Pen Fold Edition ou S Pen Pro, both compatible with the Galaxy Z Fold4. However, they are not included with the product, unfortunately. It must be purchased at stores that sell the accessory with the protective cover.

The coolest thing about the Z Fold4 screen is how it encourages the to discover new ways of working and consuming content in a creative way. In fact, creativity is the key piece that makes Samsung's real folding line stand out from the rest.

Cameras 353z5z

It might sound like an exaggeration, but we're probably talking about one of the best camera sets on the entire market here. For the new generation, Samsung has brought five types of camera: an external front, 10MP; an internal front, of 4MP (the one that is under the display when we open the cell phone); a 50MP Wide rear with optical stabilization; a 12MP Ultra Wide rear; and a 10MP Telephoto rear.

Interestingly, these are the same lenses present in the Galaxy S22+🇧🇷 Another thing these two smartphones have in common is their exceptional performance in photos and videos. The level of detail, especially from the rear Wide lens, is insane. Not to mention that, when using the open device, the feeling is almost of ing the world around with a tablet.

A very relevant factor to score is the possibility of taking selfies in three ways: with the internal camera, the external one and also the main rear one. Those who followed previous releases of this line may some questions that the public asked about the low quality of the internal camera. Being below the screen, the quality of the photos was impaired. Furthermore, Samsung was still improving this technology.

With the Z Fold4 in 2022, we can say that, yes, there has been a significant improvement — which is great. It's not on par with its neighboring lenses, though. s more interested in taking advantage of the power of the rear cameras can use the external screen to mirror what is captured by the Wide. Thus, the results are of the highest quality.

The photos recorded here are selfies taken in the three formats mentioned, without editing. The difference between them is remarkable. But even the “worst” photo still works great. There's no way not to recommend it. Some other interesting image resources: Super Night Solution (limits noise), 'nightography' (toolkit for night logs) and Space Zoom (30x).

sound and drums 1f4l15

The Z Fold4 is made up of stereo sound that can play various audio formats. It works great and offers exactly what it proposes.

The battery comes with something new: they are 4.400mAh🇧🇷 That is, the smartphone lasts longer unplugged. And when it's plugged in, charging is fast. In less than an hour, we are back to normal use with 100%. The only contrary mention here is that the device heats up a little, probably due to the number of activities to be performed simultaneously.

Anyone who wants to further reduce charging by up to 50% can buy a 25W charger compatible with the technology. Super Fast Charge🇧🇷 In addition, even with screen splitting and mutual application execution, the device manages to sustain much more than others in the Samsung ecosystem.

Price and availability 1s705x

O Galaxy Z Fold4 5G, by Samsung, is now available for purchase nationally on the company's official website and partner stores. Prices may vary according to shipping, promotions and chosen establishment.

Nas American stores, the 32-inch product can be found for a price of R$9.503.04, in cash.

With all its technology and talent, Samsung has managed to build a smartphone that is second to none in the market. The new Galaxy Z Fold4 5G it is a benchmark for design, connectivity and practical use. Its great ergonomics break the possible feeling that a foldable cell phone is limited to its aesthetics.

The fourth generation model is, like the Z Flip4, one of the best products of the year in its niche. Creativity makes the use lighter and encourages the search for new ways of consuming content. In addition to the small mention of the battery, the only points that play against the smartphone are its very high price and the absence of the S Pen, precisely considering the already high cost. Furthermore, a memorable experience.
