The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 5G keeps plenty of what made the Z Fold3 good; a return to the book-style form factor with S Pen support. Upgrades to the handset come in many little ways, most of which are invisible to the eye. You’re getting an upgraded processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1), an improved main camera (now at 50MP) and an improved telephoto camera with higher 3x optical zoom and 30x Space Zoom. The device is also oh-so-slightly slimmer (about 0.2 to 3mm) and lighter (8g).
Then, there’s also the switch to One UI based on Android 12L (instead of Android 12), which means that the operating system now plays even nicer with its unique form factor. Just about everything else has stayed nearly the same.
What Android 12L does provide for Galaxy Z Fold4 5G is the “PC-like” taskbar that runs across the bottom of your Main Screen. You’d likely catch on fast if you tried Mac OS’s Dock feature before. For the Fold4, tapping on an app in the taskbar immediately brings you to your next app choice, and dragging the app out onto your screen initiates split-screen mode. Best of all, it automatically hides away when you’re watching shows in full-screen mode (swipe up gently from the bottom to bring it back).
If you have a specific split-screen or multi-view orientation needs for specific apps, there’s also the old Edge Panel feature tucked away at the display’s right side. Does the taskbar and Edge Panel combo make the Galaxy Z Fold4 5G more competent at multitasking than before? We think so.
