hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and this is the samsung galaxy z flip 4. i thought we'd
unbox it and then just talk about what's new since it's very similar to last year's z-flip 3
we'll just cover what's new with the features and changes with z-flip 4 and also take a look at the
silicone cover with ring case that was included free with the pre-order when i bought this so i
bought this myself i'll leave some affiliate links in the description if you want to check it out
sometimes they have some credits and more to give you free things whether
that be this or maybe galaxy buds too things like that can be included for free typically
when you pre-order and sometimes even after now this comes in at 9.99 and goes up to 1
179 and the new variant this year is 512 gigabytes there's 128 256 and now 512. this is the 256 model
and it comes in bora purple graphite pink gold and blue there's also some bespoke editions as well
now let's go ahead and unbox this and i forgot my unboxing knife here at the office so let's go
ahead and just pull this back like that now that we've got these pulled off they've removed some of
the paper from the back but let's open this up and this is the new blue color so let's see what we've
got here in the top just some simple paperwork so we don't get a charger this time around we've got
a sim card removal tool and then of course our usbc to usbc and nothing in there so not a whole
lot to come with this of course a quick start guide as well let's set that aside and take a
closer look at the phone so here it is let's just do that nothing in the bottom of the box
and let's take a look around the phone so we'll remove the wrapper here i've got a little tab
and here's a little arrow to peel this back
and then you can see the phone itself now one difference right away and i can show you side
by side is the edges are more squared off and they're now shiny they're sort of a shiny finish
and they're also a matte finish on the back now the previous one the phantom black color
is already a matte black finish but it's more of a matte finish this year even for the glossy
colors and then they've made the edge flatter with glossy edges sort of a stainless steel or
polished aluminum edge and it's strong magnets at the top there it's pulling them together
also you can see the camera bump is a bit different so you can see here right there
the camera bump is definitely protruding out a little bit more than it did before
that's a little bit bigger and that's because there's upgraded cameras again we'll talk about
that more in just a moment there's also an updated hinge that's supposed to be a little
bit better so as we bend this here or fold it it definitely feels a little bit different stiffer
there compared to the previous one it's definitely looser on the z-flip 3 compared to the z-flip 4.
feels like it'll hold in more positions this time around internally there's an updated processor
this year a snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 of course so that's nice that we've got that upgraded processor
and it should help it run cooler now with the new hinge this year they've actually been able
to shrink the hinge increasing internal volume so that it now has a larger 3700 milliamp hour
battery up from 3300 in the previous generation so that's a 12 increase it also has 25 watt
fast charging if you're using it wired that'll give you about 50 charge in 30 minutes or so
now like i said there's upgraded cameras we have a 12 megapixel wide with an f 1.8 aperture larger
pixels for up to 40 percent better performance in low light thanks to the camera itself and
that new snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 and then also a 12 megapixel ultra wide with an f 2.2 aperture
we have a front facing camera on the display as well and that's a 10 megapixel f 2.4
we do have the exact same display size this year so no difference is there and you can see around
the outside edge the bezels are basically the same so everything is the same other than that flatter
edge and glossy side so really no difference as far as that goes also this year the adhesion to
the screen protector is supposedly stronger that should leave for less sort of breaking away from
that at the crease so that's something that's different the display itself is not different
though also the z flip 4 weighs a little bit more at 187 grams as opposed to 183 grams probably due
to that larger battery and the upgraded cameras around the outside edge there's no difference
whatsoever so no changes there not really worth talking about other than that upgraded hinge
now one thing i did want to show you is that the previous generation case will fit as well even
though we have a new case you still can fit this on here despite the slight change in the sides
but you can fit the previous generation case so if you have one you like it will fit if not
of course the new one was included now let's go ahead and turn it on and we'll talk about what's
new with the software now once you turn on flex panel mode for a specific app so you'll see i've
turned it on for chrome if maybe we go into chrome here and we'll just accept we won't sync for now
and maybe we'll go to samsung once we're in the website if we just fold it here we can go into
a flex panel mode and this time around if we enable the option we can turn this into a track
pad so that's something new in the software so we have two fingers scrolling so you'll see here we
have two fingers scrolling as i move up and down and then we have a little mouse pointer so if we
want to view all we can just tap open that up look at the different deals for samsung devices
and again two finger scrolling is available it's a full track pad if you want to use this maybe
it's on a desk or something else you can use that in any app you turn it on for so that's something
new in the software on the cover display if we swipe down we have new toggles for wi-fi bluetooth
airplane mode and flashlight we can also quick reply to some different messages with sort of
canned responses they're already pre-selected so they're not super helpful then that we can't
type on here but that's something new that's brought in the software of course they could
bring that to the z flip 3 as well additionally there's more customization to the clock so as
we scroll all the way over to the right you'll see there's a bunch of different options now so
quite a few options for the clock and then at the end we can go to cover screen settings
open it up unlock and you'll see those additional settings here you can change the clock background
image using your wallpapers or the gallery as well if we go into camera and then we fold it
now we can use it in what they call camcorder mode so if you want to hold the camera like
this you can do that and see everything in the display here on the cover display
if you're using the camera double tap it and you can now change aspect ratios
so that's a nice little feature that's built in and makes it nice to be able to swap without
going back into your settings and so that's everything as far as new features and changes
not a whole lot as far as that goes it still has eight gigs of ram just an upgraded battery which
should be a nice welcome feature for most people now let's go ahead and open up the case so this is
as you can see silicone cover with ring let's peel this back here we'll open it up and take a look
not a whole lot in here just a little guide on how to install it we've got a little piece of paper
there and it looks like we do have some adhesive inside the case so here's the case itself it's
silicone just like you would expect on maybe an apple silicone case it feels basically the same
very smooth texture not terribly grippy and if we pull these little tabs off here they're adhesive
and we've got the little ring now it looks like we can remove this if we want to so if
we don't want the ring there and we just want the case you can do that if you want the ring
just clip it into place like this it clips on both sides and then we can snap the phone in the top
and then also the bottom so we'll just snap it in like this and now it's in place so i actually
like the leather case a little bit more from before but it's basically the exact same thing
so you have the opening of course for your display on the outside and then once we close it with the
ring you'll see it moves and sort of pushes the ring out of the way so you could hold on to it
like that it could be very handy if you wanted to maybe attach it to something so you don't drop it
and of course on the bottom it leaves the speaker hole open as well as the usbc and microphones
and then when we fold it you've got the little ring like i said you can remove the ring if you
want to so that's always nice and it's basically just a simple case like you would expect the
button presses feel what you would expect they're not really interfering as far as the case goes
and the the fingerprint slash sleep wake button is actually out of the way but is easy to access so
pretty nice case it like i said it was included free so if you pre-order of course it should be
free if not it will cost a little bit so it's not a huge upgrade this year for the z flip 4 but it's
a nice little upgrade with that battery as well as the overall camera so that should be really nice
that processor should also be more efficient and get you through the day a little bit longer now if
there's anything else you'd like to know about the zflip 4 i'd love to hear from you in the comments
