Due to the excellence of the Flip3 (see issue 326, p70), Samsung had no need to reinvent its clamshell-style foldable. And it hasn’t. Indeed, at first glance both the Flip4 and the Fold4 (see overleaf) look almost indistinguishable from their predecessors. That means the Z Flip4 rocks a familiar two-tone clamshell form factor, a dual rear camera and an external cover display. So what’s new?
In terms of design, very little. It has a straight-sided look with a fraction less rounding than the Flip3, with a black “visor” along the top edge of the back that hosts two rear camera sensors and the cover display. The rest of the back comprises Gorilla Glass Victus Plus set against a colour-matched Armor Aluminium frame. Launch colours include Graphite, Pink Gold, Bora Purple and Blue, and the ability to mix and match both back colours and frame finishes if you buy the Bespoke Edition direct
