Refining The #FoldableLife
HWM Singapore|October 2022
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 5G comes in the same clamshell-styled phone with a 6.7-inch Main Screen tucked within and a 1.9-inch Cover Screen for the shortcuts you could possibly need. Besides the increase in battery life and charging speed, an upgrade to its processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1), and a slight increase in the main camera's pixel size (1.8μm pixel size versus 1.4μm), the Flip4 is a fraternal twin to the Flip3. Among the many refinements, Z Flip4's crease visibility appears to be diminished compared to the preceding Z Flip phones. But, Samsung has been very quiet about how they made those improvements.

What is clear, however, is that the reduction in visibility doesn't change the fact that the crease is still noticeable. If you are waving, tilting, or using your phone in a manner that catches light striking the crease at just the right angles to see it, it's there, and it's even more obvious if the display isn't powered on.

Besides saying that the Galaxy Z Flip4 is rated for 200,000 folds, Samsung Singapore is also offering something called Samsung Care+ Screen Care. From what we understand, it differs from regular Samsung Care+ in two ways. One would be the complimentary, one-time Screen Protective Film replacement for both Main and Cover Screens on Galaxy Z Flip4 (and Z Fold4). The second, and more important feature is the one-time screen replacement at only $100.
