Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Compact and pocket-friendly foldable design
  • Smooth 120Hz AMOLED display with vibrant colors
  • Improved battery life compared to the previous model
  • Powerful Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor for fast performance
  • IPX8 water resistance rating
  • Useful 1.9-inch cover display for quick notifications and selfies
  • Class-leading long-term software support from Samsung
  • Versatile Flex Mode for hands-free photos and video calls

What we don't like about Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 (8GB + 256GB)

  • Physical fragility; many users report concerns about the hinge and screen durability
  • Visible and tactile crease in the middle of the main screen
  • Camera system lacks a telephoto lens and optical zoom
  • No dust resistance certification
  • Slow 25W wired charging speed with no charger included in the box
  • Performance throttles significantly during heavy gaming or intense heat
  • Lack of a headphone jack and no microSD card slot for expandable storage
  • High retail price compared to standard flagship smartphones with better specs

Verdict

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 (8GB + 512GB) is a compact, stylish foldable smartphone powered by the flagship Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and 8GB of RAM, offering excellent performance and 512GB of non-expandable UFS 3.1 storage. Its main characteristics include a 6.7-inch inner Dynamic AMOLED 2X 120Hz display and a 1.9-inch Super AMOLED cover screen, all housed within an Armor Aluminum frame with IPX8 water resistance. The primary pros are its highly pocketable and unique form factor, powerful performance, improved battery life over its predecessor, solid main 12MP camera with OIS that is great for hands-free "FlexCam" usage, and an industry-leading software support policy of four OS updates. Key cons include the lack of a telephoto camera, a still-noticeable screen crease, no dust resistance (only water resistance), and slow charging speeds compared to other flagship phones.
