The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 has just been revealed and if you want to know all the ins and outs, well you came to the right place. I'll be comparing the Galaxy z-fold 4 versus The Fold 3 specs displays cameras and even the colors and see how they stack up. So even if you haven't had a foldable phone since a hand-me-down Motorola Razer or if you're someone who already loves a z-fold 3 and are wondering if it's worth jumping up to the four, well I've got you covered.
Well let's get this out of the way first these phones ain't cheap. The Galaxy z-fold series is the most premium and expensive foldable in the Galaxy family starting at $17.99 US Dollars. Where the fold 4 is actually starting at the same price as last year's fold three. I haven't had a chance to get my hands on the fold 4 just yet but you can be sure we'll have a more in-depth impressions in the coming days so be sure to stay tuned And subscribe for the latest.
And that being said let's jump in the Galaxy full 3 comes in two storage options either 256 or 512 gigabytes with 12 gigabytes of RAM while the full 4 also comes with 256, 512 gigabytes and the newly added one terabyte option all with 12 gigabytes of RAM. The processor in the fold 3 is the Snapdragon 888 while the fold 4 runs on the newer Snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 chip. The fold 4 is also the first phone to ship with Android 12l the version of Android OS specifically made for large screen devices like foldables.
Samsung also promises it will support z-fold 4 with major updates for the next four years and security updates for the next five so even if you are dropping a pretty penny on this device it sure will last for the long run. The z-fold 3 isn't guaranteed to get as many updates as the newer phone over its lifespan but it is being sold at $17.99 US Dollars.
The Galaxy full 3 comes in three different colors in silver green and black none of the colors are really eye grabbing like on the z-flip 4 but the variety of choices is nice while the z-fold 4 comes in Phantom black gray green beige and a samsung.com exclusive burgundy.

is being sold at 16.99 US dollars if you want to save an extra hundred dollars on the fold three like most new Galaxy phones the inside and outside have 120 hertz refresh rate which is great if you're a fan of games like players on known Battlegrounds like I am the full 3's main screen is a 7.6 inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a resolution of 2208 by 1768 the full 4's main screen is three millimeters wider than the older phone with a resolution of 2176 by 1812 it also gets a bit brighter than the z-fold 3 and has a wider aspect ratio as well and when closed the fold 3's cover screen measures at 6.2 inches the full force cover screen is the same physical size that has a wider aspect ratio compared to the fold three the fold 4 is slightly lighter than last year's phone weighing in at 263 grams compared to 271 grams both phones also feature Flex mode where compatible apps will shift videos from one half of the screen and controls to the other similar to a fully touchable Nintendo DS the z-fold 4 also features a new taskbar located at the bottom of the screen allowing you to drag and drop up to three apps at the same time the full 4 also features new swipe gestures that Samsung says will make multitasking even easier than before both phones have the same water resistance so you can dunk them in fresh water for up to 1.5 meters or about 5 feet for 30 minutes we test the resistance on the fold three last year holding up really well when dumped in the suggested depth and still functional at twice a depth you can check out that full video right here but please don't try this at home the fold 4 also comes with a newer gorilla glass fictus plus on the cover screen and rear glass and Samsung promises increase durability on the inside screen and if you're interested in using a stylus with that internal screen you will need to get that special S Pen specifically made for the fold series that will cost extra of course this lets you take notes draw hover and magnify across screens while in Flex mode the S Pen also has a bit of give to ensure your screen doesn't get damaged even if you're pushing a bit too hard and if you're an insta Queen like me both the full three and four come with plenty of camera options the front cover camera on the fold 3 and 4 are both 10mb pixels and an aperture of f 2.2 but the real goods are on the back both featuring a triple camera including an ultra wide wide angle and a telephoto all at 12 megapixels on the fold 3. the fold 4 sees an upgrade with its wide angle camera moving up to 50 megapixels being on par with the s22 and s22 plus but surprisingly the fold 4 receives a downgrade on its telephoto camera by 2 megapixels you'll also be able to get closer to your subject on the newer phone with three times Optical and up to 30 times total zoom and while the Improvement is a welcome addition the ward for Monster camera specs on the Galaxy still goes to the s22 ultra offering a 108 megapixel sensor but what separates the folds compared to the other Samsung phones are its under display cameras which is a camera that hides under you guessed it the display as opposed to having a notch and reducing the amount of screen space the camera tries its best to blend into the background where Samsung says the version on the fold 4 should blend better into the display and should be less noticeable compared to the fold threes for videos both the full 3 and 4 can shoot up to 4K in both 30 and 60 frames per second and can do the same in 1080P having to supply two screens puts a major toll on the folds batteries the z-fold 3's battery capacity is 4 400 milliamp hours and based on my Kali patch Collins review which you can watch right here he only averages about three and a half hours of screen on time which will likely not last you a whole day on one charge the z-fold 4 has the same capacity battery as the older phone but stay tuned for a full review to find out if the battery life improves Samsung claims the fold 4 can charge 50 in just 30 minutes which is an improvement over the fold 3. even more the charging speeds aren't nearly as fast compared to the other Samsung phones only allowing a rate of 25 watts compared to the 45 Watts that the s22 plus and Ultra allow the z-fold 3 comes in three different colors in silver green and black none of the colors are really eye grabbing like on the z-flip 4 but the variety of choices is nice while the z-fold 4 comes in Phantom black gray green beige and a samsung.com exclusive burgundy congrats you made it to the end I'm so proud of you so you met the latest in the z-fold family and the differences between the two and while that's just the specs we'll have more Hands-On impressions in the near future so make sure to stay tuned
