The Galaxy Z Flip4's distinctive design led Samsung to make some sacrifices, as we've already seen with its camera and heat dissipation. The battery is another, and possibly the one that could be more concerning for potential customers.

Apple has given select media outlets and YouTubers access to the new iPhone 14 ahead of when it begins arriving in customers' hands on Friday, September 16. There are two models of the ‌iPhone‌ 14, the standard 6.1-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 and the larger 6.7-inch ‌iPhone‌ 14 Plus.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 is a definite step up over Flip3

Reasonable one-day battery life, Excellent phone reception strength for city, suburbs, regional and rural use, The camera is good – not outstanding, The external screen is more useful now, Nice, colourful, and bright display

Throttles badly after four minutes, No mountable external SSD storage, The crease and two-handed opening may bother you, Mohs hardness 2 (out of 10) for the main screen – take extreme care, No charger inbox – bad Samsung

Overall, the Galaxy Z Flip4 is a good device for someone who’s looking to dip their toes into the world of folding phones but doesn’t want to pay the higher price tag of the Z Fold4.

Great 120Hz display, Smooth performance, Great cameras, A larger battery is a plus, Easily pocketable

Minimal design changes over Flip3, Overall battery life still isn’t the best, Cover Screen is good but still limited in functionality

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 is a significant update from its predecessor. Critical systems and features have been improved, and the whole package came out great between the design, performance, battery life, and camera. Should a Z Flip 3 owner upgrade? If you can afford it, absolutely yes!

Excellent folding phone design, Great camera update close to the S22, Improved all-day battery life, Higher peak performance, Excellent folding phone design, Great camera update close to the S22, Improved all-day battery life, Higher peak performance

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

While it's a shame that picture and sound quality haven't been upgraded, the iPhone 13 was great in these regards and the iPhone 14 is, too Excellent display Admirable headphone performance Solid build quality No upgrades to picture or sound Familiar design Notch is still present

The iPhone 14 isn't much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it's still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance

Display could use some upgrades

Battery life still problematic? With the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and a bigger battery this time around, Samsung's smaller foldable hopes to solve the biggest issue with its predecessor: the poor battery life. Find out why this is only partly fixed for this new model in our review.
