Is the Galaxy Z Fold 4 worth $1,000 more than the Flip 4?

Are you thinking about getting a Samsung foldable this year? Both the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 are great options, but each is likely for a different type of person.

Both phones run the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipsets and feature great camera systems. The Fold 4 has a bit more camera versatility and a larger internal screen, but it also has a heftier price and weight to account for all that.

The Flip 4, on the other hand, seems like a very good deal compared to the Fold 4 since it costs half the price, but when you then compare it to other devices in the $1,300 range in Canada, the Flip 4 can start to look a little less enticing.

However, if you must have a foldable, or you just want a phone that’s going to make you feel something, one of these models might do the trick.
