Performance and Software of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

While Samsung does an excellent job of integrating key One UI features and apps into the Fold experience, they’re the stock you really want. Outside of Android Google apps holding.

But we were particularly impressed with the effortless transition between the cover screen and the main flexible display. The phone switches screens instantly, so you can move the same app between the main and cover screens without waiting for it to reload. It works like a regular phone with a cover screen, a tablet with a home screen, or something in-between if you fold the screen at a 90 degree angle.

Galaxy Z Fold 4, at a 90 degree angle it knows if it’s bent, and if you’re in an app like Word, it places the split keyboard in the lower half of the screen. It’s not a perfect experience because touching the creases is best avoided, but it works. A lot small a android laptop It’s no different than using it.

Battery Life of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

With the Galaxy Z Fold 4, we’ve had a very busy day doing everything from video conferencing to word processing, playing games, video editing, watching Netflix shows, and sometimes all at the same time.

Battery about 13 hours This is pretty good, but we would like to see more. Still, going this far is probably Power management of 8 Plus Gen 1 It’s a testament to his abilities.

The phone supports fast wired and wireless charging, and at one point we added 30% of the power back in just 15 minutes (using a non-included Samsung 65W charger). The phone can also perform wireless power sharing tasks; but not with the Galaxy S22, only With Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro we were able to run it.
