The appeal of any flip is the shape. Open the Z Flip4 and you have a normal 6.7-inch phone. Fold it and it shrinks to a small square that drops into a pocket or clutch with ease. Being a 2022 model, it was an early take on the format, so the cover screen and software feel less developed than newer flips. You buy this one for the folding shape at an older-model price, accepting that the experience is a generation or two behind.

The 6.7-inch folding panel is the main screen, with the usual hinge crease you feel under a thumb. At 187 g it stays light, and the IPX8 rating means it can handle being submerged in fresh water, which was a notable feature for a folder at launch. The design holds up, though the build and screen tech have moved on since 2022. Pick it if you want the flip look without paying for the latest version.

The Z Flip4 uses a 10MP main camera and a 12MP front lens. It takes fine everyday photos in good light, and half-folding the phone gives you a built-in stand for hands-free shots and calls. By modern standards the camera is modest, so heavy photographers will find newer phones a clear step up. For casual snaps and social posts it does the job.

The Z Flip4 launched on Android 12, so it is several versions behind current phones, and that affects how long it keeps getting updates. The 3700 mAh battery is the smallest of the flips here, a result of both its age and the folding shape, so expect to top it up within a day under normal use. 5G keeps mobile data fast where the network reaches.

The Galaxy Z Flip6 is the newer flip, with a sharper 50MP main camera, a larger 4000 mAh battery, more recent software and 512GB of storage against the Flip4's 128GB. The Z Flip4 wins only on price as an older model. Choose the Flip6 unless the saving on the Flip4 is large and you mainly want the flip shape rather than current performance.
