Is the Galaxy Z Fold 4 worth it over a normal flagship phone?

If you regularly use two apps at once, read documents or take handwritten notes, the inner screen justifies the size and weight. If you mainly want a camera and long battery life, a slab flagship is simpler and more durable.

How is it different from the Galaxy Z Fold 3?

The Fold 4 has a wider cover screen, a lighter body, a 50MP main camera with a better telephoto, and a brighter, more efficient inner display. The crease and battery life remain similar.

Does it support the S Pen?

Yes, but only the S Pen Fold Edition or S Pen Pro, which are sold separately. There is no silo to store the pen inside the phone.

How durable is the folding screen?

The inner display is softer than glass and can be marked by fingernails or sharp objects, and Samsung advises against pressing hard on it. The phone has IPX8 water resistance but no rated dust protection.

The phone, a USB-C cable and a SIM ejector tool. There is no charger or case included.

Does it work with 5G networks?

Yes, it supports 5G, though actual speeds depend on your carrier and coverage.
