Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip series is a success. It hasn't reached the level of sales recorded by the Galaxy S series yet, but it's getting closer with every release, and the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is the best foldable flip phone on the market right now. But is it better than the standard Galaxy S22? We try finding out in our latest video below.
Similar to how we approached our recent Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy S22 Ultra comparison, we're looking at various criteria, including design and build, display and speakers, cameras, specs and software, and battery life.
To flip, or not to flip? Which compact Samsung flagship is better?
Both smartphones are built very well and use materials such as Gorilla Glass Victus+ and Armor Aluminum frames. Nevertheless, in terms of durability, the Galaxy S22 has the advantage of being a rigid phone without a hinge.
Speaking of which, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 hinge offers some unique advantages in the form of “Flex Mode.” On the other hand, the Galaxy S22 has Samsung DeX, whereas the Z Flip 4 does not. So depending on what you want to do with your phone, you may want to pick one or the other.
As for performance and battery life, it might come as a surprise, but our Galaxy Z Flip 4 is superior to the Galaxy S22 in both areas. However, that may have more to do with the fact that the Z Flip 4 features the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, while our Galaxy S22 variant is powered by the Snapdragon 2200 SoC.
Finally, the best thing about picking one or the other is that both the Galaxy Z Flip 4 and the base Galaxy S22 are priced roughly the same. The small price difference should be no point of discussion, especially this time of year with all the crazy deals going on at Samsung's online shop.
