It’s still very bulky, but now there are some great multi-tasking skills!
Samsung Note gave birth to Samsung’s foldable ambitions. Although this is true, the company has done more and more in terms of narrowing the screen to the body ratio, but there is a very practical limit on the size of the smartphone screen. At a certain time, a person only used his pocket, and the 6.8 -inch may be that number.
When the first Galaxy Fold arrived at the end of 2019, it provided a 7.3 -inch pocket screen commitment. For any problems that may be encountered in the first device (and there are many), it breaks the code. For this reason, it feels like the trend of the future. At least, for a long time, it is obvious that the foldable display points to the direction of the stagnant market. However, the biggest problem is how long it takes to reach it…..
As far as it is concerned, Samsung is ready to fold it almost immediately. The use of a new shape is not what happened overnight -when it runs almost twice the price of the existing flagship mobile phone, it will definitely not. In the company’s defense, it is more active than many people expected. Samsung recently pointed out that it shipped about 10 million folds in 2022. Obviously, we are not talking about Galaxy S or iPhone numbers here, but it is undeniable.
Of course, there are still many question marks. The first is how many sales have been driven by novelty and practicality. If it reaches the plateau or falls, it will answer over time. However, short -term health growth seems possible, because more and more consumers are aware of the appearance, and manufacturers continue to improve their products. In the discussion, the potential folding apple devices are naturally a huge pass. If the company has enough confidence in technology to push the product to the market, the earthquake will definitely change.
Galaxy Fold is not the first to be announced (although no one will mistake Flexpai as a mainstream consumer product), but it has enough early lead to provide templates for the structure. This is a large (if narrow) device, it will become larger and thinner when unfolding. However, as I pointed out in the recent “Galaxy Flip Comment”, big phone fatigue is like a real phenomenon -not enough to make a small Android phone ejection of 50,000 responses, but it is still real.
I think we all want to use smaller pocket space for giant equipment without sacrificing the screen real estate. Once you use a larger screen, it is difficult to return it. In my opinion, this is an important part of consumers that have so far attracted the vast majority of flip forms. When most people do not have much expectations (or do not need) to carry a 7.6 -inch screen in their pockets, this is a more compact method that can install a large screen in the pocket.
However, in the end, the flip won the battle, but did not win the war. At present, the folding is hindered by large bulky mobile phones around the screen. For now, for most users, it has too much money. This is a device that is more used for “can” than folding “why”. As Samsung continuously stuffs the large -scale folding mobile phone screen (relative) compact footprint, it is not difficult to imagine the changes in this narrative.
Like the previous generations, I like time when folding, but I can’t imagine what I buy one by myself. On the other hand, through flipping, there are many times of meaning. I am not in a hurry to replace my existing mobile phone with the product, but this is not as far as possible as a few years ago.
These greater problems will be related to the device until Samsung’s fundamental upgrade of the hardware -maybe when or not to start seeing some fierce competition in the category. But Z FD 4 looks like its predecessor. The company talked about a small previous display problem after a period of time. But the product found that Samsung continued to advance the equipment in a meaningful way.
This is the first device to obtain Android 12L. This device is a fork version of the operating system designed for emerging large -screen categories, including folding products. It is understood that Mulitasking is the focus here, and the Marquee function is a new application toolbar sitting at the bottom of the display.
It is similar to what you have found on desktop or tablet, although there are great zoom icons. This is a good supplement. The 7.6 -inch screen is large enough to make it meaningful. This is a clever implementation that allows you to hold the icon and drag and drop into the screen view. All in all, multi -tasking is processed on (relative), and Samsung’s light years are before competition. Regardless of future foldable forms, the foundation of the company here will almost be proven to be valuable.
To my surprise, I also found that I began to appreciate the narrow 6.2 -inch front screen. It reminds people of strange gemstones shortly before death. In most cases, it is not ideal to display width and height ratio than the standard, but it can be comfortable in hand comfortably, and I do think there is a lot of room for innovation here. I hope to see more developers creating experience for the front screen, because these devices continue to be popular.
The latest Qualcomm flagship Snapdraagon 8 Plus 1 Gen 1 (the same as FLIP), performance is performed. Samsung continues to perform well on the rear camera system -this is a folding place, which can be easily patted. It is still three camera arrays, although the main 12 million pixel sensors have been replaced with 500 million pixels. However, the real difference between these two folds is to stay away from far away from 2 times. This is optical zoom -it will not reduce the image when you are tightly promoted, which is very large.
For the second consecutive year, Samsung went to the indoor camera insufficient playback. In the case of covering the scene, the company looks like a area with pixels. In other words, watching it is definitely obvious. The existing technology means that the image quality on the 4 million pixel camera is still downgraded and struggling in the weak light. However, as mentioned earlier, in view of you can also use a 100 million pixel front camera to take pictures, it exists almost only for long -range communication purposes.
At the same time, the battery is 4,400mAh as before. That should be allowed to spend a day, no problem. Despite the requirements of large screens, if you watch videos, etc., you may promote it. In addition, like its predecessor, the system is IPX8 waterproof -therefore, you should not wet it. Due to the hinge mechanism, the dust will not begin again.
For generations, Samsung has solved a change method to update the folding. After last year’s model, there is nothing to scream “update” (it must not be $ 1,800). This system is a victory for a small screen multi -task processing, but for most users who want to ride a folding train, there is no reason to recommend folding on the flip.
