The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is being marketed by Samsung as a productivity tool. The device is better positioned to fill the void left by the now-defunct Galaxy Note Series, which concluded with the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra, thanks to its huge tablet-size screen and support for the S-Pen.
Flex Mode boosts productivity greatly. This is when the phone is utilized folded in half like a laptop, with the bottom half resting on the flat surface and acting as the screen and a touchpad, respectively, to navigate the content.
It is designed with a new Taskbar that makes switching between many windows simple in order to promote multitasking.
When handling emails, the multi-screen capability on the main screen can be useful. Since both may be tastefully displayed on one screen, you don’t need to switch between the messages list and the actual message.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the company’s top-tier foldable smartphone for 2022. With a better camera and brighter screen, the android smartphone has a thinner and lighter design.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 was introduced alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and has a stunning 7.6-inch display, a 6.2-inch cover display, and a total of five cameras.

Even though it is now bigger and shorter overall, the smartphone’s cover display still measures 6.2 inches when it is folded. The resolution of this Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel is 904 x 2316 pixels.
