While the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 has since been replaced by the newer Z Fold 5, there aren’t that many key differences between them. For all intents and purposes, the Z Fold 4 matches the Z Fold 5’s display tech, camera tech and charging speeds, with the newer Z Fold 5 only really boasting improved processing power, a slightly larger battery and other incremental updates, meaning you aren’t losing out on much by opting for the year-old model.
Plus, as seen in the above price tracker, the Z Fold 4 is around the cheapest it has been since it was released, a fact further backed up by Amazon product tracker Keepa – though it has admittedly been slightly cheaper in the past few days.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is a book-style foldable with a narrow cover display and a much larger, squarer display hidden within ideal for watching movies, reading a book on the Kindle app and running multiple apps side-by-side for the more productivity-focused among us. There is still a visible crease on the inner display, but that hasn’t changed with the release of the newer Z Fold 5 either.
It’s also pretty durable for a foldable, a category of smartphone that’s infamously fragile, boasting IPX8 water resistance that’s still among the best you’ll find, even a year after launch. Samsung also claims that the foldable display can survive upwards of 200,000 folds.
It also delivers strong everyday performance from the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 that suits both daily use and big-screen gaming, and battery life remains solid with all-day usage even if it is a little slow to charge up.
