The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 has gone up for pre-orders and if you are considering as your next daily phone, a big question might come up – will a foldable phone be a good idea? Samsung has been selling folding phones for a while and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is the third generation in its flip phone style foldables. Starting at Rs. 89,999, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is right now the most affordable phone with a folding display. But you get an iPhone 13 or a Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus for the same price. Are you confused?

If the answer is yes, we give you five reasons why the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is a smarter choice over those conventional flagship phones. We have had the Galaxy Z Flip 4 with us for a while and these are things we find extremely cool about it.

Galaxy Z Flip 4: 5 amazing reasons to consider it

It is a flip phone

Flip phones were cool in the early 2000's and with the folding displays, they are still cool to rock. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a robust hinge that lets it stay folded at the desired angle you choose. It is so satisfying to cut a call by folding the phone shut! Despite the hinge, the phone has IPX8 rating for water resistance, which means it should survive light showers with ease. And when done, you can fold it shut to easily shove it in your trouser pockets.

Cool and fast processor

The Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip is not only the fastest chip on an Android phone but it is also power efficient and runs cool. Hence, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 can run almost any app and game with ease.

Reliable battery life

With a larger 3700 mAh battery [aired with an efficient chip, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is now able to last an entire day with ease. Hence, you can have your phone charged in the morning to 100% and end the day with almost 20-30% charge left. If you need to fill up the battery, the 25W charging fills up the battery fairly quickly.

Cool camera tricks

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has its own Flex mode features for the cameras. You can fold it in half and leave it on the surface for a tripod-like functionality. When clicking someone's portrait, you can use the Cover Display to show them a tiny preview of the photo. When closed, you can use the 12MP + 12MP main rear cameras for selfies by using the Cover Display as a viewfinder.
