Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 vs. Fold 2 - Small Changes Add Up!

(Affiliate Link)

I understand they may be small changes but when you add them all up the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 becomes a completely different experience from the Fold 2 and I think in a good way. The Fold 2 is still excellent and will last quite a bit longer and if you don't want to upgrade, that's still a great decision. No wrong answers here but I do like what the Fold 4 provides.

Just picked up the fold 2 for $200 and it’s worth every penny.

But yet iphone hasn't changed much since iphone x and people go crazy every time a new iphone comes out

I might have everyone against me, but I love way more the designe of the fold 2! I’m only talking about the design here, obviously in my opinion! Nice review!

I actually still think that it is not a drastic change to convince someone to upgrade. I have jumped from Z fold 2 to Z Fold 3 initially, then I realized that I made an awful mistake because my fold 3 never let me watch movies 6-7 hours SOT straight every day while it was almost possible on Z fold 2. Later on, I sold my Fold 3 and got back to Z Fold 2 LTE version and now I am happy with battery life it is great. Z fold 4 has almost the same SOT according to reviews so it doesn't make sense to upgrade in that front. Z fold 2 and Fold 3 will receive the same functionality exclusive to Z fold 4 later on. Only camera might be something you might notice but tbh every phone takes a good photo under good light conditions nowadays. It just feels like they are saving small things for future releases. Like next time Samsung will probably add S pen slot into Fold. In two years, they will give a bigger battery. That's when it shall be a good time to upgrade. I am feeling that Samsung is too relaxed because of lack of competition in the foldables market. At the same time, I am highly impressed with Samsung's innovation level. After folds I can barely use slab type phones. The only one I carry around is the Pixel 6 Pro and only for taking photos and when I feel like Fold is too big for my pocket that specific day. Good job Samsung in any case.

I bought my Fold 2 moderately used with little scuffs on hinge and scratches on front display, inside perfect and missing Sim tray for $330 loved the phone. I just recently traded it in for $900 promo for the Fold 4 with spectrum and I love it even more now. I can't go back to regular slab phones lol

Big change on the outer display between the 2 and 4. Would make it a convincing upgrade for me, but it's a shame about the very lack of a price drop on the new 4.

Cracked my 3 and got a 4 as the replacement. It doesn't seem like a big upgrade....until you use it. The bigger outer screen, better battery life, more square love it!

I have a fold 2 about 3 months after the release refurbished and unlocked through 3rd party store from amazon. A few things im glad i have in the older model that was changed in later models. One item is the higher megapixel camera for the full screen. I like video calling people and having them see me with better resolution than the newer camera (lower. Egapixel unfolded screen) which is more hidden in the fold 3 and 4, means lower rez. The other is a front screen being 60hz and inner screen being 120hz. This means if i'm low on power it drains slower if i use the front screen if i have to save on power compared to the 3 and 4 which will drain just as fast using the front screen as the unfolded screen both now at 120hz. Newer isnt always better.

Hey, i wanna ask how can you set image on the AOD like u did in the vid, pls share.
Thank you and have a great day man

I honestly waited to buy the fold 2 until the fold 3 came out and even when the 4 came out it still wasn't a major enough change to me to upgrade. Coming into 2023 with the fold 2 has been great. I do have a case on my phone and drop it so many times and no breaks. I think the build quality stands the test of time. I will see how long I can get this phone to last.

As the owner of the Z Fold 2 I was tempted to upgrade but I actually really like the decent internal camera on the Fold 2 (especially when using it on a tablet stand). Waterproofing was very tempting but I'll wait until we get a true Note Fold to upgrade. Plus in the UK we don't get the same trade in offers so there was never £1k off.

I still have fold 2 I read so many issues with the z fold 4 screen is breaking

[bigjohn]

The phones front screen works pretty good with the smaller keyboard. I tend to use it for more of my quick text or google search. I found myself using it more frequently and saving a lot more battery life. I went from a s10+ to the zf2 about a year ago and love it. The camera is the only real complaint I have for the phone. Love the phone waiting to see what's next in 2023 . Great video

[knightrcer]

I love my fold 2. Love the better camera for video calls in the full screen. Not liking lower resolution camera just to do away with the small tiny black hole. I found a video where a guy submerged his fold 2 in a bowl.of water open full screen and it still worked. I use the spigen slim armor pro to protect my hinge. I also heard the sound quality is more superb on the fold 2 over the 3 and 4 because they were made to be waterproof. Still get a full day of use on my phone. 60 hz front screen and 120 full screen might be the reason. I'm OK texting and web surfing on the front screen.

I upgraded from my Fold 3 to the 4. Now that I have the phone in hand, I am convinced that people are focusing a little hard on the phones lack of innovation. The phone has a less prominent crease, it's front display is bigger an honestly, just more comfortable to use, and the smaller bezels give it a more premium look. The battery life is VERY noticeably better than the Fold 3. I used the phone from 7am to 2am one day and it wasn't until 1:20am that it finally hit 15%. This was with moderate to heavy use. I really do think that if someone with a 3 chose to go ahead and buy the 4, it wouldn't be a waste. Oh and the more flagship level cameras put it above the 3.

[Rxyimm]

Just a quick question, do you feel a noticeable weight difference between the 2 phones?

[BigDaddy_BHJ]

I upgraded from the fold 3 to 4. The more upscale design and feel is more than enough to upgrade. The only thing I regret is the color I chose. I love the phantom black, but I wish I would have gotten the burgundy or blue grey.

[Roosader]

I got a Fold 4 to replace my Fold 3, and while I was initially expecting to get it and deem it not enough of a change, the battery life (on power saving and light performance mode) is a huge step up from my Fold 3. That and the front display being a bit better as well as simply a new display rather than a year old one, I think it was somewhat justifiable. Not completely justifiable but y'know lol. My Fold 3 kinda creaks when I open it, and the screen protector peeled badly so I removed it, so I figure 500 (normally 800 but sold the buds I got for free and gonna sell the watch) to upgrade is better than a potential 300 dollar deductible for a screen repair.

Not agree, many people who upgrade is a major upgrade, try to change your chip and camera and screen it will cost you alot
