Smartphones To Buy If You’re Tired Of Apple – SlashGear

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is one of the most expensive smartphones out right now, starting at $1450. With this price, however, comes plenty of features, loads of innovation, and a tablet-like design that delivers a truly unique experience. As a foldable device, you’re not only getting an incredible 7.6-inch 120 Hz AMOLED display inside but also a 6.2-inch 120 Hz AMOLED cover display that functions as a standard smartphone screen.

The Galaxy Z Fold 4 ships with One UI version 4.1.1 based on Android 12, though it has since been upgraded to Android 13. While this is commonly found on other Samsung flagships, the Fold 4 gets a few exclusive features thanks to its distinctive physical arrangement. Examples include the taskbar, which floats on the bottom of the 7.6-inch display and provides shortcuts to your doc icons and recent apps. Plus, there’s an advanced multitasking mode, which lets you have up to 3 split screen apps, and 5 apps in pop-up windows running simultaneously.

It’s also important to note here, that the Galaxy Z Fold 4 has admirable audio to match its entertainment capabilities. The sound quality is great, with two stereo speakers on both the top and bottom of the frame. Highs, mids, and lows are warm and clear, without any signs of audio distortion.

Similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4, the Fold 4, also includes the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, which promises improved performance and superior efficiency, compared to previous iterations. System feedback and apps are responsive, while the battery can charge from 0% to 50% within a 30-minute fast charge. The camera specs are equally impressive this time, with a 50 MP primary, 12 MP ultrawide, and a 10 MP 3x telephoto zoom.
