Samsung launches new and improved Galaxy Z Flip4, Z Fold4
What a thriving foldable lineup!
Samsung is enjoying an unopposed lead in the foldable market. Despite having several years to catch up, other smartphone brands haven’t closed the distance yet, leaving Samsung with a thriving foldable lineup. Today, the brand is looking to extend its lead further, launching the new Galaxy Z Flip4 and the Galaxy Z Fold4.
Galaxy Z Flip4
As expected, Samsung went all out for the new Galaxy Z Flip4. Featuring a slimmer hinge, the foldable device sparkles with a more refined design. Users can also customize their phones using Galaxy Themes for both the Cover and the Main Screen.
Underneath its 6.7-inch FHD+ screen (and 1.9-inch secondary screen), the Galaxy Z Flip4 sports the new Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset with 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage.
At its rear, the smartphone comes with two 12-megapixel rear cameras. While one acts as the main sensor, the other is for ultra-wide shots. In front, the device also comes with a 10-megapixel selfie shooter. Besides using the cameras individually, it also comes with FlexCam, a feature that will allow users to show photos and video hands-free. Users only need to unfold their device partially to access the feature.
And speaking of hands-free, the Galaxy Z Flip4 still lets users access their phones without unfolding their device through the Cover Screen.
For power, the foldable has a 3700mAh battery, which can reportedly charge to 50 percent in just 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold4 punches an even bigger oomph for power users. The foldable has a larger 7.6-inch main screen (and a 6.2-inch secondary screen), delivering 120Hz refresh rate and an under-display camera. Underneath, it has the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 with 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage.
The smartphone also has a triple rear camera consisting of a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera. There’s also a 4-megapixel under-display camera. Finally, in front, it has a 10-megapixel selfie camera.
For power, the device has a 4400mAh dual battery, compatible with Super Fast Charging. It can reportedly charge to 50 percent in just 30 minutes.

The HONOR Magic6 Pro is coming to the Philippines. Although the official pricing hasn’t been announced yet, one of HONOR’s latest flagships may be preordered soon via HONOR’s Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop stores.
The HONOR Magic6 Pro is easily one of the best smartphones in the market today. It is multi-awarded with five DXOMARK Gold Labels for Camera, Battery, Display, Selfie, and Audio. Likewise, the device maintains its top position in the Global Ranking of DXOMARK Best Camera Phones worldwide.
The phone’s camera prowess has been well-chronicled in the past few months. GadgetMatch took it to a basketball open practice, highlighting its fast shutter, light absorption, image stabilization, and AI motion sensing algorithm.

For a quick refresher, the Magic6 Pro sports the following cameras:

- 50MP 1/1.3-inch HDR f/1.4 to f/2.0 OIS wide-angle camera

In a nutshell, the phone’s telephoto camera has a larger sensor, allowing 400% better light intake. It also lets users shoot up to 10x zoom without much detail loss. Meanwhile, its main camera allows users to switch between f/1.4 and f/2.0 apertures on the fly, with the system’s Ultra-large Variable Aperture. HONOR then utilizes both hardware and software to deliver on impressive camera performance.
