Galaxy Z Fold 4 5G Dual SIM Phantom Black 12GB RAM 256GB – International Version Review

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, in its sleek Phantom Black 12GB RAM/256GB configuration (International Version), has been my daily driver for the past month. This review delves into my experience with this cutting-edge foldable, covering everything from its stunning display to its multitasking capabilities and overall performance. I’ve put it through the paces, subjecting it to real-world use scenarios to give you a balanced and honest assessment.
The Galaxy Z Fold4 boasts a number of impressive features. The 7.6-inch Infinity Flex Display is truly breathtaking, offering vibrant colours and incredible sharpness. The under-display camera is a significant improvement over previous models, though still noticeable in certain lighting conditions. The 6.2-inch cover screen is surprisingly useful for quick tasks, making one-handed operation a breeze. Multitasking is a cornerstone of the Z Fold4’s design, and the seamless integration of multiple apps via Multi View is a game changer for productivity. The inclusion of IPX8 water resistance adds a welcome layer of protection against accidental spills.
The 12GB of RAM ensures smooth and lag-free performance, even with multiple apps running concurrently. The Snapdragon processor handles demanding tasks with ease. Gaming performance is excellent, and I experienced no noticeable frame drops or stuttering during intensive gameplay sessions. Battery life is generally good, lasting a full day on moderate to heavy use. The fast charging capability is a huge plus, allowing for quick top-ups when needed. The 4400 mAh battery could benefit from a slight increase in capacity, however, for those who are particularly demanding users.
Pros:
- Stunning 7.6-inch Infinity Flex Display
- Improved Under-Display Camera
- Exceptional Multitasking Capabilities
- Fast and Smooth Performance
- IPX8 Water Resistance
- Useful 6.2-inch Cover Screen
Cons:
- Under-display camera still noticeable in some situations
- Battery life could be slightly better for heavy users
- Price point is high
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 (Model Number: Galaxy Z Fold4) is a significant improvement over its predecessor. The enhanced display, improved multitasking features, and powerful performance make it a compelling choice for power users and anyone looking for a truly unique smartphone experience. While the price is substantial, the overall quality and functionality justify the cost for those who can afford it. I highly recommend the Galaxy Z Fold4 to anyone looking for a premium, cutting-edge foldable phone.
