Samsung has been iterating on this new idea of a folding phone for a few years now and I think it is safe to say with the new Galaxy Z-Fold 4 and Z-Flip 4, they finally worked out most of the bugs. By many standards, they are ready for mass market adoption, but if you are tired of your rigid single screen phone, which foldable is the right one for you?

PRODUCTIVITY
Battery life: depends on how you use it. I was getting about 8.5 hrs with with Flip, and about 13 with the Fold. Fold is much better from my experience
Fold is better suited for productivity with the taskbar on the bottom
Fold4 works with s-pen
Fold can split screen in a useful way
Quite a few apps are actually optimized for the Fold now
12GB vs 8GB RAM
256, 512, or 1TB with Fold4
128, 256, 512 with Flip4
Fold4 has DEX! Flip does not?
RELAXING
Fold4 has 6.2 and 7.6” displays
Flip4 has 6.7” display and 1.9” cover display
Flip has better aspect ratio for videos, but Fold has extra functions around it
Fold is much easier for reading the news, ebooks, notes, etc.
For normal scrolling, you feel the crease on the Flip, but usually not on the fold
Fold has uninterrupted display
PRICE
$1000 vs $1800
CONCLUSION:
Flip is for showing off
Fold has better cameras, better multitasking, DEX, and s-pen support for a tablet and phone in one
Flip is lighter, smaller, is easier to type, but generally delivers a classic phone experience, with the fun novelty of folding vertically – cool for flexing on friends

bruh look at his VEINS
Great review. I ordered the fold and returned it. It was too thin closed and not big enough for a real tablet experience open. It didn't fit in my cars phone cradle. It was awkward to hold when open. And I have a Tab S8+ court my tablet needs already, which I love. I ordered the flip to take advantage of the discounts for the watch 5 pro and ear buds. I like the convenience of the flip. Also, what you said about the letterboxing is true too. What's the point if videos look the same on that huge screen. And if I don't care for the flip I'm sure I'll be able to get good trade in value for the s23 ultra next year.
NOT CHEAP, NOT WORTH
im getting a flip, mainly go reduce my phone time
can we attach charms to either phone?
More like Z Flex 4. Amirite? 👀💪🏾
When the camera is on par with the S22 Ultra I might consider it. For now spending more for a chunkier folding phone with a weaker camera makes no sense.
Samsung was so smart to release these two form factors
I like fold
What's up with these kids having such little self control that they make it a selling point of the flip phone. Man this country and world is doomed.
Samsung Knights Unite !!!!!
Got my Z fold 4 today, and boy oh boy, that internal screen….I'm in love. Coming from using Note devices I absolutely love the immersiveness of consuming media on a large screen. Glad I waited for better refinements before taking the plunge.
No one is gonna mention he called the Nintendo DS a Gameboy DS?!
3:51 🤔
I prefer Fold 4
Haven't watched the video yet, will do as soon as I can, but they appear to be solid devices with incremental but nice upgrades that improve day to day usage.
Sidenote, is it normal that smartphones don't interest me anymore? The last 2,5 years, all the smartphones that have released really became boring to me, even the foldables which should be 'bleeding edge' technology, doesn't interest me and wow me anymore. I'm all for smartwatches now for some reason. Would love to hear your thoughts Mike, if you have the same thoughts or what your views are. Cheers
why comparing two completely different phones
Good point about the square aspect ratio and video watching of the fold vs flip
With Z Flip you'll get: a normal phone & a bulky brick that does nothing in your pocket.
With Z Fold you'll get: a bulky phone in your pocket and a normal tablet.
Whoever buys a Z Flip really needs a doctor appointment.
Really enjoys your videos 👌
Why you dont review s22 ultra and s22?
Is the S Pen support the fold specific S Pen like last model or can it use any S Pen?
The fold. For the flip might as well stay with traditional because you would be opening most of the time anyway.
Are you able to answer the flip 4 without opening it?
Just how big are your hands?!? The Z Fold 4 looks for small when you hold it
Fold 3 user here. Many people complain about the gigantic keyboard when using the phone in tablet mode, but that's easily remedied by using the floating keyboard and resizing it to your preference. The Samsung keyboard and Google keyboard both have the floating option.
"all INTENSIVE purposes! 🤣 It's "intents and purposes" Mike
Is it real pink color and gold
Mike, great job. For me, Fold 4.
Are you going back to the flip? Since you sent the flip 3 last year? I have the flip 4 and really like it so far. My concern with it is I feel like I'm going to break it every time I touch it. Thanks for the videos. Best content.
Nice video once again. A lot of good points. Exited for the buds review^^
Gameboy reference was spot on 😄
I've held both of these phones, and I like the Z Flip 4 more. I like how compact it can be.
I just got my fold yesterday and I don't think I will be going back to regular phones. Traded my s22 ultra and got $1,000 off. I am surprised that the flip is better for videos. I wish they had spent worked on the front screen.
As someone who uses their phone almost as much for work as I do personal use, I am looking forward to receiving my fold tomorrow. I think productivity will benefit me.
Been a Flip user since the first one. Never had one issue with any of them so I'm lucky in that sense it seems, but I'm so used to folding it a bit and standing it in landscape to watch videos, use the cover display to record and take pictures, folding it a bit to hug my face during a phone call. All these small things just make it so much more versatile than any other slab phone. The cameras can be better and the battery still isn't flagship level but still, If your into the flip and "get" it, there's no substitute.
If you ar sick of your slabby big phone, getting the fold which is slabby and twice as thick clearly isn't the solution!!!
Willing to look at these just as soon as they figure out how to eliminate that. Crease.
Really don't understand why flip exists . Yes it's cool and that's it
What is your trust regarding the very real dangers of electronic radiation damage to humans associated with the regular use of any of the Ear Buds
I'd rather my 22 ultra, got a lot of comments on how good the camera is👍
