Stuck with the Note series for years, I decided to try the Fold 4. The user experience is something different that I liked. You change levels from 'conventional' devices but that's a matter of taste. Some like it, some don't. Both screens are amazing, incredible sound, good rear camera, but the front one for selfies is a bit disappointing for the cost of this device. Easy to use, many extra screen features when unfolded, flawless multitasking, very fast in whatever it runs, and finally a phone that helps you in a professional level as it becomes a mini tablet and upgrades the workspace surface. Its cost is very high and the outrageous thing is that it doesn't come with a charger, headphones, and a pen. Its packaging only includes the phone, a USB type C cable, and the pin to remove the card slot cover. Simply unacceptable. At this price, it should have included the new Samsung Buds Pro as a gift (without exaggeration). Here, it's not Samsung's fault, it's all of us who support it. Another negative is its battery. With full use, calls, GPS, emails, and some browsing, it doesn't last the day, but when I say full use, I mean it. I have no opinion on gaming. Of course, if it falls when unfolded, things become very difficult even with a good case. I give it 5 stars because I like this experience and I don't think I'll go back to a 'conventional' device, but as I said before, it's purely subjective. Another negative is the lack of an SD card. Just because we pay for a device doesn't mean we automatically want to pay for cloud storage. I put the negatives aside because I have to justify the money I spent, but again, it's subjective. Before you buy it, see it in a store, play with it a bit, and then proceed with the purchase. Keep in mind that for a good case, consider an extra 60 (obviously not the Samsung case that leaves the back of the device uncovered, if it falls there, it will leave a mark and it's a shame), plus the cost for the pen and the charger if you don't have one. Enjoy to whoever decides to get it.
7/5/24 I come with an update of the review. At 17 months, the internal membrane of the large screen started to detach, resulting in the screen turning black and not working at all, it didn't even have touch, it was like the screen was burnt. I took it to Samsung, waited a day for the repair to be approved and everything was okay. They fixed it and even changed the battery on their own (at least that's what the papers I received say). At first, they told me they would check the device for any hits and that if it had even scratches, there would be a problem. Fortunately, the device has been with a serious Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro with S-Pen Holder 360 Full Cover case from day one and the device is fully protected. Of course, I was adamant that the device not only wasn't hit but didn't have the slightest mark, and they checked it in front of me. To give you an idea, they tried to remove the case and couldn't, so they asked me to remove it in front of them. Fortunately, everything is fine, but what will happen in 1-1.5 years? It's an incredible device, but if this screen issue isn't fixed, it's not worth the trouble or the money. Personally, it's my professional phone and I have no desire to live in such situations. Unfortunately, I'm running to a non-foldable device. Now with friends who have faced issues with the company, it is true. If the device has even small signs (scratches, etc.), the situation becomes unpleasant. Of course, I will change my evaluation even though my own adventure had a happy ending, not for Samsung's service but for the device's unreliability. Such an expensive device with an expiration date is simply unacceptable. Even if it is repaired within the warranty, you know that in 1-1.5 years you will have the same issues again. It's a shame because I found a phone that covers me 100% and fits my taste, but more importantly my needs. For as long as it works, it is perfect, but too much money for this kind of unreliability.
