Samsung Z Flip 4 Pink Gold – 512Gb – New

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 came out in 2022 and holds up well in 2026. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is not the very latest chip but has more than enough speed for social apps, streaming, and everyday photography. The 512GB storage is the main reason to pick this version over the base model. If you shoot lots of photos and videos or download music and podcasts for offline listening, running out of space stops being a problem. Samsung has continued software support, and One UI remains one of the cleaner Android interfaces around. The foldable format is the main draw. It is a different shape from every other phone on the market. Whether that matters depends on how you carry your phone, but pocketability is genuinely better than any standard smartphone when the Flip 4 is folded and in your pocket.

The Flip 4 has two 12MP cameras on the rear. The main wide lens handles most situations well. Colours are accurate and daylight shots are sharp without looking over-processed. The ultra-wide adds useful range for group shots or tight spaces. Low-light performance is reasonable for this sensor size. It will not match a dedicated night mode on a larger phone, but results are usable without flash in most indoor conditions. One practical feature is Flex Mode, which props the phone at an angle and places the viewfinder on the top half of the screen with controls on the bottom. This makes it a natural stand for video calls or hands-free recording. The cover display functions as a viewfinder for shooting selfies with the rear cameras, giving noticeably better quality than the front sensor on its own.

The 3700mAh battery is smaller than most bar-style phones at this price, which is an honest trade-off for the compact folded size. Moderate users get through a full day without trouble. Heavy users who stream video or use navigation frequently will want to top up before evening. Samsung rates the battery for 25W wired charging and 15W wireless. A full charge from flat takes around 75 minutes wired. Wireless is slower but practical for desk charging through the day. Since this unit is new, the battery is at full rated capacity from the start with no degradation from prior charge cycles. If you are upgrading from an older phone with a worn battery, the difference in daily endurance will be clear from day one.

A few things are worth knowing before you commit. The hinge is the main mechanical component unique to foldable phones. On a new unit this is not a concern, but Samsung rates the Flip 4 hinge for 200,000 folds, which works out to several years of normal use. The cover display is small at 1.9 inches, practical for notifications and quick replies but limited for anything longer. The battery is smaller than you get on a standard phone at this price, so heavy users should factor that in. There is no headphone jack. The Flip 4 carries an IPX8 rating rather than full IP68, meaning water resistance is covered but there is no official dust resistance certification. None of these are deal-breakers, but they are worth understanding clearly before you decide this is the right phone for your needs.
