This is an interesting take. The Z Fold4 is a very versatile and capable device. I can see it being able to fulfill most tasks that a laptop can do. Samsung DeX is one of the most underrated features on Galaxy smartphones. I like that it turns your phone into desktop like experience. I don’t think many people talk about this, but using a cloud PC service like Shadow or Windows 365 can make this a laptop replacement when traveling. I will note that the subscription can be quite pricey and you need a good internet connection to have the best experience.

What I actually hear them saying is:

Great video.
I have the Fold 3 which I upgraded from the Fold 2. I might skip the 4 as I now work from home so I don’t need the extra battery life.
I’m a big user of Dex, and have been for many years.
Dex reminds me of how greedy Apple is. They could easily provide a Desktop experience with their iPhone’s, but if they did that, people wouldn’t buy as many MacBooks..
So you have hundreds of millions of people walking around with chips in their phones that offer greater performance than 75% of desktops, but who will never _ever_ user the chip to even 50% of its potential!!
At least with Samsung and 1plus you can levy the power of your phone.

Good video! To be honest, if I were invested into the Apple ecosystem, I would be inclined to go all out on the Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 or wait for the next iteration, 5. Why? Simply because I can do away with a Macbook, iPhone and iPad. I have it all in one! Sure, the Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 isn’t perfect, but it keeps getting better all the time. Hence why I would hold out for the Galaxy Fold 5. With the next generation of Snapdragon Gen 8 2, I’d be expecting more! A better camera system, and more capabilities. Now that Lumafusion is out on Android, I can’t see myself wanting a whole lot more from Android. The combination of Android (Samsung) and Windows PC are unbeatable!

I’m 1 months in, and it’s has been my favorite phone since I got it. I have the s22 and the fold 4. The s22 is for calls and pictures and the fold 4 is what I use for everything else. Gaming, watching YouTube, movies, scrolling Facebook, Twitter and tiktok. I’ve never needed to try the inside camera because I’m always using the main camera. If I didn’t need 2 phone this would be my only phone.

This is really cool. I’m impressed at how well this functions. It’s not perfect, for sure. But it will get better. With these sorts of things I am most interested in the future potential of this technology. Phones will eventually get to a point where they will function as well as computers today. Whether that means they will ever catch up to the advances that the computers of the future will make… that’s doubtful. However, I definitely think we will get to a stage where a good portion of the population will work from their phones in such a way as this video shows.

Good review! But it’s mystifying that you don’t mention how the UI is similar to Windows. It’s closer to Windows than Mac, e.g., in the way windows snap. Are you not familiar with Windows 11? You should try it. It’s great!

Of course it’s worth..the Z Fold4 is basically 3 devices in one..smartphone, PC and a tablet/laptop that fits in your pocket…it’s a bargain when you look at it like that which is the only way to look at it…Especially when you can get one for $1400, that’s $465 for each devices..

I’m invested in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple Watch Ultra, MacBook Pro, Apple TV, etc) but god I really want the Z Fold 4. It’s so different from anything I’ve ever used. The only thing stopping me, other than the Apple ecosystem, is concerns about long-term durability of the folding display.

I use DEX mode on my Tab S7 all the time and it has replaced my personal laptop. People that say android tablets are junk haven’t tried Samsung DEX and they don’t know what they’re talking about. And the functionality is WAY better than an iPad.

This is just BS! Who would hook the dex mode to a computer when there’s a computer already! and it also defeats its purpose as a tablet if you bring a second screen to work as a laptop! It’s a good phone and a great tablet and nothing else!

Great review, and thanks for not going into a bunch of bench mark testing that most users don’t even care about. This showed why I’ve gravitated to Samsungs ecosystem and decided to trade in my Galaxy 22 Ultra for this Fold 4. It handles my productivity task very well, and yes there are some areas for improvements but I’m confident that Samsung will work on making it better over the coming years. Nothing against Apple users but I find Samsung just give greater flexibility of use within all of their tech.

I have one question for those who like to use DEX….
Have you guys tried using Dex on PC (not TV ok) and play Netflix? Does it able display the content to the PC or not? Cuz I tried on my Note 9 today but it won’t work. Same thing happened when I want to edit my poster design on Canva

Since I changed from my 10+ years using regular boxy phones my new Fold 4 is a game changer, I can never go back to a regular phone. Eager to see what Samsung has for the upcoming Fold family.
Diwa Alejandro Galvez

I honestly love the iPad, but DeX runs circles around Stage Manager. If you are planning to replace your laptop since you are not a heavy user, this or the Tab S8 variants make sense. If you are a regular consumer who wants to use tablets as tablets, then the iPad is still the way to go.
Both excellent manufacturers, Samsung and Apple.
