Galaxy Z Fold 4 passes through the clutches of Zack: will it be up to its predecessor?

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 (find our review here, in case you missed it) is definitely the king of the gods folding currently on Italian market.

Despite the minimum commitment by Samsung in introducing Announcements for a device from 1,800 euros (net of promotions), the technological advantage of the Korean giant is such that it can afford gradual updates and even to continue to use a bulkier hinge to keep the title of waterproof smartphone. But will it always be as tough as the Galaxy Z Fold 3? A bubbly one Zack Nelson he did not let himself be begged and put him to the test. Let’s find out how it went!

The known YouTuber in this video it was indeed particularly pungent not just towards those producers who continue to churn out practically the same devices year after year like Samsung And Applebut also against OnePlus, guilty of having produced a rather fragile series (OnePlus 10 Pro and 10T) and not admitting the evidence.

But let’s get back to Galaxy Z Fold 4, how did you manage? Very good. In fact, leaving out the notes on the similitude with his predecessor, Zack test the external screen for hardness with Mohs scale and reports a result in line with that of other smartphones.

Obviously it is internal screen is much more delicate, and already with hardness of level 2 shows deep engravings. But this is implied by the leaflet technologyand indeed Samsung endow the precious device with pre-applied film not to be removed. Then moving on to frames, to the back and to “it costs”, the YouTuber confirm the metal compositionwhich is scratched with the cutter quite easily, while the rear camera glasses are protected by very resistant glass.

So far everything in the norm, like the test with the lighterwhich highlights the disappearance of the burnt halo on external screen and damage permanent (but that does not affect functionality) inside of.

Then we get to the tastiest scenes, with Zack taking the topsoilthe same used in other tests, to see how much a scenario to use in beach may affect the functionality of the phone. Galaxy Z Fold 4 it absorbs the mistreatment without making a fold, without letting the grains of earth enter the hinge, which continues to close without problems or with strange noises and frictions. The slightly worrying thing is just that the topsoil it builds up between the screen and edges, which are magnetic, which can be quite difficult to clean.

And finally the feared bend test. Nelson tries to fold the closed device and from openright along the most fragile point, the hinge, but from wrong direction. The faint of heart will want to look away for a few seconds, but Samsung’s new foldout doesn’t blink, and tackles the torture with phlegm without creaking or twisting. How Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Fold 4 confirms a tank.

On the new device release policy from Samsung we can talk, but on build quality, there is no question. Below you can see the complete test.
