What’s the difference? Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 vs the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4?

The highly anticipated launch of the Z Fold 4 is here and we can straight away see some improvements to the design and user experience but the Z Fold 3 is only about a year old and at the time revolutionised the way we could see and use a foldable phone. So let’s dive straight into the key specifications to see what really is the difference between the Z Fold 3 and the new Z Fold 4.

We can see a lot of similarities in the Z Fold 3 and 4 including the support for split screen sharing, RAM, Wireless charging and charging speed. Both smartphones support 5G and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11AC) and Bluetooth version 5.2 

Samsung have really taken the Z Fold 3 and made minor improvements to make the Z Fold 4 better. We see a strong presence for customisable privacy options, significantly better Main Cameras and design changes like smaller hinges and adjusted thickness. The Z fold 4 boasts more internal storage and a 33% faster download speed. 

It is worth noting the Z Fold 4 is also running Android 12 up from the Z Fold 3 on Android 11.  

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is now on sale, and we know from our experiences with the Z Fold 3 that a screen replacement can be costly so we recommend adding a Nano glass screen protector to your Z Fold 3 and Z Fold 4
