![]() Samsung manages to squeeze a 3700 mAh battery into the chassis at the expense of extra 4 grams of total weight increment. ![]() On top of the temperature improvements, the Z Flip4’s battery life has got upgraded as well. Overall, a very positive first impression! Battery Life The same experience applies when I’m downloading the Genshin Impact game assets. While copying my data into the phone, I noticed the device didn’t heat up as much as I thought it would. The new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 somehow alleviated most of the aforementioned issues, making it the better evil of the two. While the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 is a powerhouse, it was never a successful chip when you factor in power efficiency and heat output. Less Heat OutputĪnother major upgrade of the Z Flip4 is the SoC. While this may not be my final verdict for the camera, do stay tuned for my review of the Z Flip4 after spending more time with it. That said, what customers care about is a positive user experience. It is a tough comparison since the Z Flip4 has a different lens, sensor, IPU and software version. While the difference is not that obvious, I can tell that the camera is more “responsive”, especially in low light situations. At the same time, the sensor is slightly bigger at 1/1.76″ as opposed to the Z Flip3’s 1/2.55″. The lens is slightly wider at 24mm instead of 27mm. While the camera module might look similar to the Z Flip3, the primary shooter has received a silent upgrade. Of course, a device with a foldable display is still not for everyone, nevertheless, I believe device durability shouldn’t be the main concern for those who are on the edge of leaping. Samsung’s hardware team has done a tremendous job at improving the device’s durability. Then again, most of the users are going to use a case anyway. While the changes are minor, they all reflect on the outcome and how we feel while handling the device. I like the flat frame chassis design since it is much easier to hold no matter if the phone is in folded or unfolded state. If you value practicality over form, you will appreciate the refined Z Flip4 construction over the outgoing Z Flip3. However, having a brand-new device that looks almost exactly like its predecessor is not an easy pill for consumers to swallow. Rehashing the same chassis is fantastic for the team to focus on enhancing the hardware and software instead of worrying about integration. It is a double-edged decision from Samsung. I’m sure many have pointed out how Samsung has kept the same outlook for the second year.
