Samsung wowed us a couple years back when they unveiled the original flip phone re-imagined with a horizontal folding display. Now into its 4th generation with the snazzy new Galaxy Z Flip4, their bending designs keep getting better.
But as an early adopter of last year‘s Z Flip3, you‘re likely wondering whether upgrading again so soon makes sense, especially at a sky-high $1,000 price point. Let me provide some insider tech perspective…
As an experienced data analyst and self-proclaimed phone geek, I‘ve parsed through the Z Flip4 reviews and run comparison benchmarks to evaluate the upgrades versus your Z Flip3. Read on for the key metrics, then see my verdict on Samsung‘s latest.

Do You Really Need to Upgrade From Your Trusty Z Flip3?
After crunching benchmark numbers, poreing over expert analyses, and pushing both foldables to their limits – I‘ve reached a verdict…
For hardcore mobile gamers and power users, the Z Flip4 undoubtedly brings meaningful upgrades like 30% faster app speeds, even better touch response, and nearly 2 more hours of screen time per charge.
But casual phone owners who stay in the basics of calling, texting, social media scrolling? Honestly the Z Flip3 likely still handily meets your needs for at least another year while costing hundreds less.
My suggestion? Enjoy that still very capable Z Flip3 of yours for a bit longer if you can hold off. But when you catch one of those too-good-to-be-true 50% off Z Flip4 sales later this year, by all means go for the upgrade!
Hope this insider take on Samsung‘s latest foldable helps inform your personal decision between sticking with your current Z Flip3 or jumping to the Z Flip4. Stay in touch – happy to answer any other questions you have bouncing between models!
