Six Reasons You Should Use a Foldable Smartphone

Six Reasons You Should Use a Foldable Smartphone

Samsung’s latest foldables, the Galaxy Z Flip4 and the Galaxy Z Fold4, are delivering new and versatile device experiences optimized for work, play, and everything in-between. Besides being engineering marvels, Samsung’s newly launched Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 incorporate unique functions and mainstream apps such as Microsoft Office and Instagram making them suitable for everyday use.

We unpack six reasons why you should start using the Galaxy Z Flip4 or Galaxy Z Fold4 today.

Effortless and Flexible Multitasking

Having a flexible screen design that can work as separate panels gives you more ways to multitask across apps on-the-go, especially with the Flex Mode function. Flex Mode enables apps to reorientate to fit the screen when your phone is partially folded, so you can use one half of the screen to watch a video, and the other half to navigate (see image above).

The Galaxy Z Fold4 also comes equipped a new Taskbar and swipe gestures, giving you a PC-like layout for quick access to both your favorite and recent apps. For increased productivity, you can then easily re-fit full-screen apps in one’s screen with just a swipe and shift swiftly between pop-ups or split screen views.

Enriched user experiences on your most-used apps

The experience of using foldables can only be great if the OS and apps are optimized to their unique form factors. The latest Galaxy Z series are the first devices equipped with Android 12L, exclusively developed for large screens, including foldables.

To ensure that users get the best out of their foldables, Samsung worked closely with leading app developers to create unique user interfaces and optimized apps that enable increased functionality whenever the phone is open or closed.

Google-branded apps, including Chrome and Gmail now support drag-and-drop functionality, allowing users to quickly copy and paste links, photos and more across apps. With Google Meet, you can now share joy-filled experiences with more people though virtual co-activities, including co-watching videos on YouTube or playing games together on a video call. Microsoft’s Office suite such as Outlook now take advantage of the foldable display, providing more information onscreen, and faster ways to interact with content.

Improved navigation with the upgraded S Pen

With the Galaxy Z Fold4 opening to showcase a stunning 7.6-inch AMOLED Main Screen, the S Pen is the perfect add-on to ensure precision and efficiency as you draw, take notes, or navigate. The S Pen is now even smarter, with new AI technology that automatically recommends follow-up actions in its Smart Select function.

To ensure your phone remains as light and thin as possible, the S Pen can be stylishly attached to the Galaxy Z Fold4 with the new Standing Cover that comes in matching colors for a seamless look.

Thinner, lighter, and more portable than ever

A primary benefit of foldables is being able to enjoy large screen sizes in a conveniently compact form, and these latest devices in the Galaxy Z series continue to push the limits of the folding form factor without compromising on quality.

While both the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 are smaller than the previous generation, the devices have retained their respective 6.7” and 7.6” AMOLED Main Screens.

Due to the slimmer hinge and narrower bezel used on the Galaxy Z Fold4, the phone is lighter and more comfortable for one-handed use. The Galaxy Z Fold4’s improved dimensions also result in new screen ratios on the Cover Screen and Main Screen for added functionality and an immersive viewing experience.

Built for Creativity and Customization

If compact size, versatility in creating content, and customization options play a big part in which foldable you choose, the Galaxy Z Flip4 is the perfect choice for you.

This fun-sized device packs a punch with an upgraded camera that has a 65% brighter sensor and is powered by the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform. FlexCam, the phone’s front and rear dual cameras also allow you to capture photos and videos from different perspectives, with the enhanced Quick Shot function which now supports a preview on the Cover Screen to give you more options as you snap your favorite moments. The FlexCam function is supported on Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, so you can share your creative shots with loved ones seamlessly.

The 1.9-inch Cover Screen now has more shortcut choices, letting you switch on the flashlight or airplane mode, play a tune, make a call, or reply to texts with emoji and Speech-to-Text without needing to open your phone.

The Galaxy Z Flip4 is available in four vibrant colors – Bora Purple, Graphite, as well as Pink Gold and Blue which are newly added. If these choices are not your vibe, you can create a device that is uniquely you with the Galaxy Bespoke Edition. Available exclusively for the Galaxy Z Flip series, the Galaxy Bespoke Edition lets you choose from 75 combinations of glass and frame colors for the ultimate customization experience.

Designed to go the distance

If you worry that foldables may be more fragile to the trials of daily life, fret not. Both Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 use Armor Aluminum frames and hinge covers, along with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ on the Cover Screen and rear glass. The devices’ screens are carefully engineered and optimized to be extra durable and resist damage from external shocks, like dropping one’s phone.

You can also take comfort in the fact that strenuous durability tests have proven the foldables’ design can be unfolded and folded over 200,000 times. Both phones are certified with IPX8 water resistance, so no problem using them whether rain or shine too.

Long day ahead? The Galaxy Z Flip4’s expanded 3,700mAh battery capacity and the Galaxy Z Fold4’s 4,400 mAh batteries will keep up with you on big days out. If your phone needs some extra juice, both Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 can charge up to 50% in 30 minutes so plans can go on with minimal disruption.

Fold or Flip – the choice is yours today!

So now you know the flexible design and ground-breaking innovations behind Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 that can complement the dynamic lifestyles we live today. These foldables are thoughtfully built to support and evolve with your every need, catering high performance, durability, ease of use and variety of customization to the masses.
