Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 review: folding-screen flipper stands out from crowd

Chic hi-tech Android flip phone has better cameras and longer battery life, losing none of its novelty

Samsung's hi-tech flip phone has been a bit of a hit over the past year. Now the Z Flip is back for 2022, with better cameras, a faster chip, longer battery life and more customisation options than ever, as the company attempts to appeal to those bored of flat phones and looking for something more exciting.

You still have to pay a pretty penny for that cutting-edge appeal. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 costs 999 ($999/A$1,499), which is roughly in line with what you would pay for a premium standard phone, but it is likely to be frequently found at a discount.
