Samsung has just Unpacked and revealed their latest series of updates - The Galaxy Flip4 5G, Galaxy Z Fold4 5G, Galaxy Watch5 Series, and Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro. I got to preview and play with the gadgets for a while and here's a little intro...
Samsung Galaxy Z Series 5G
Entering into the 4th generation, these foldable gadgets have been enhanced for better performances, to aid in your everyday life. They are Samsung's toughest foldable to date, with Armor Aluminum frames and hinge cover along and exclusive Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ on the Cover Screen and rear glass.
The durability of the Main Screen panel is also enhanced thanks to the optimized layer structure, helping to reduce damage from external shock. They are equipped with IPX825 water resistance, so you don't have to worry if caught in the rain.
On top of that, there's also an array of new covers to protect your devices and also specific ones to house the S Pen for the Z Fold4.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 5G
The Galaxy Z Flip4 5G, maintaining its compact clamshell design, is now shorter and narrower than its previous version, with the inside border thinner for more screen space while you watch your favorite drama. The overall design has been refined with a slimmer hinge, straightened edges, contrasting hazed back glass, and glossy metal frames. The battery has also expanded to 3,700mAh for longer usage and with Super Fast Charging now supported on Z Flip4 5G, it can charge up to 50 percent in around 30 minutes.
Flip4 is fully customizable inside out, with Galaxy Themes on both Cover and Main Screen. You can make use of the custom fonts, icons, and designs to make the phone match your style, Plus, youcan create your own Cover Screen with new clock designs and backgrounds in various formats such as images, GIFs, and even video.
The Cover Screen has also been enhanced so now you can do more without even having to open the phone. There are new ways to theme it, with more widgets added, so you can make calls, reply to texts (using speech to text), make payments with your mobile wallet, and even control the SmartThings Scene widget, all from the Cover Screen.
The photo capturing or video shooting experience has also been enhanced with a 10 MP Selfie Camera and 12 MP Wide and Ultrawide Rear Camera, equipped with a 65 percent brighter sensor powered by the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform; your photos and videos will be crisper and more stable - day or night.
Shoot hands-free video or capture full group selfies at various angles by partially folding Z Flip4 5G to activate FlexCam and with Samsung’s partnership with Meta. FlexCam is also optimized for the most popular social platforms, including Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook.
You can also take high-quality selfies right from the Cover Screen by leveraging the main camera with the upgraded Quick Shot or shoot high-quality video recording in Quick Shot mode andthen seamlessly switch to Flex mode to continue recording hands-free without stopping the video allowing a more creative video transition.
Something cool about the Flip phones is that you can preview from the Cover Screen how you look in the picture when your friend is helping you take a photo. On Flip3, the preview is only limited to the screen ratio, which means you are previewing the photo cropped, making it hard for you to pose correctly. But it is now solved and you are able to take selfies in Portrait Mode and see the preview in the actual photo ratio.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4 5G
The Galaxy Z Fold4 5G has yet again proved to be a helpful, multi-tasking powerhouse with ultimate performance to aid in your daily work-life being the first device to ship with Android 12L, a special version of Android created by Google for large-screen experiences (2.7mm wider when closed and 3mm wider when opened) and , including foldables. It is Samsung’s most comprehensive smartphone experience to date, shape-shifting design, immersive displays, and PC-like multitasking features, in addition to advanced camera technology and powerful mobile processors.
Multitasking on Z Fold4 5G is now made easier than ever with the new Taskbar feature that provides a layout similar to your PC, offering access to your favorite and recent apps. You can also instantly switch full-screen apps to pop-up windows or split your screen in half for more ways. Google apps, including Chrome and Gmail now support drag-and-drop, allowing you to quickly copy and paste links, photos and more from one app to another. With Google Meet, you can connect with more people while enjoying virtual co-activities, including co-watching videos on YouTube or playing games together whilst on a video call.
Popular social media apps like Facebook are optimised for the large-screen experience to makecontent more enjoyable. Or open your favorite streaming entertainment service apps like Netflix and watch hands-free with Flex mode. For non-optimised apps, users can even control the device without disrupting the content with the new Flex Mode Touchpad, offering accuracy while pausing, rewinding, and playing videos, or zooming in and out of content while the device is in Flex mode.
The photo taking and video experience has also been elevated with an upgraded 50MP wide lens and 30x Space Zoom lens allowing you to play with a variety of camera modes, including the larger Zoom map activated on Capture View Mode, Dual Preview, and Rear Cam Selfie. And with the larger pixel size (a 23 percent brighter sensor), and enhanced processing power, you can capture clear images even at night!
Games are snappier too thanks to the powerful Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform and hyper-fast 5G23. With the slimmer hinge, lighter weight, and even narrower bezels, the wider screen enables easier one-handed interactions while using the Cover Screen.
