Smart devices have essentially replaced the need of an actual (large) desktop for a majority of people—admit it, you're reading this using your phone, aren't you?

Samsung has also incorporated the Flex Mode, which allows apps to fit the screen when viewing it in a PC-like layout (pictured above). The Galaxy Z Fold4 also comes with a new taskbar and allows for swipe gestures. You can move effortlessly from full screen apps to pop-ups to split screen views.

The advent of these foldable smartphones has inspired app developers to flex their creativity, offering users more possibilities when using their favourite apps.

Samsung works closely with leading app developers to create unique user interfaces and optimised apps. For example, Google-branded apps such as Chrome and Gmail now support drag-and-drop features to allow you, without much effort, to copy and paste or upload files from your device onto their servers.

You can personalise your entire device with the Galaxy Bespoke Edition, available exclusively for the Galaxy Z Flip series. Users can choose up to 75 combinations of glass and frame colours.

In terms of creative content then, the Galaxy Z Flip4 allows you to capture photos and videos using both the rear and front cameras, adding greater perspective and depth to your graphics.

By virtue of its foldability, both models are more compact and fit better in pockets. Samsung has even made them lighter and thinner without sacrificing screen real estate, maintaining the 6.7-inch and 7.6-inch for Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 respectively.

Thanks to the slimmer hinges and narrower bezel, it's also easier to manoeuvre around the Galaxy Z Fold4 with only one hand. Still, don't text and drive!

Even the mighty S Pen, which is sold separately, sees some modifications, It is now smarter with new AI technology that automatically recommends follow-up actions, on top of ensuring precision and efficiency as you draw, take notes, or navigate. The S Pen can now be stylishly attached to the Galaxy Z Fold4 with the new standing cover that comes in matching colours.

Many may have a misconception that foldable phones are perhaps slightly more fragile, and might not be able to withstand drops like other candy bar designs. But the new Samsung Galaxy Z series models are carefully designed, and use the best available materials to be durable and resist external shocks.

On top of that, the Galaxy Z Flip4’s expanded 3,700mAh battery capacity and the Galaxy Z Fold4’s 4,400 mAh batteries will keep up with your busiest days. The fresh batteries on both devices can be charged from zero to 50 per cent in 30 minutes.
