I’m debating between these two… leaning toward the Beige/Cream, but I want something different than the typical Black phone.
It's going to be the Beige/Cream for me, if I get one. Cause the 2 and 3 I used naked. I just can't put a case on a Fold.
Got a tip for us?

Yup.. use mine naked as well.
For all my nearly 2 years of ownership... I finally encounter another Fold user, it was a delightful exchange. He was a Spectrum technician scheduled to service my internet I had trouble with.
He mentioned he only met 3 Fold users (not sure if that included me), but it was cool experience meeting him... internet was back up to running normally and we shared our thoughts on being a Fold user.

Not going to upgrade. I want a foldable with the Oppo Find N form and crease. Oneplus will probably release that next year. I also don't like the visibility of the under screen camera. They should look at ZTE, which made it almost invisible. Yet the one Samsung is using is so easily to see.

Yeah, I want a design similar to an Oppo Find N... But I’ll settle for the Fold 4 in the meantime.
Regardless if the UDC is visible or not… I’m coming from a Fold 2, so it’ll be a new experience for me and I rarely use that camera anyway. But I think with another year we should some improvements in UDC along with the crease.

Galaxy Fold 4 got leaked. It actually looks nice. Screen on the outside is visible bigger.
Hope the UK pre order bonuses are worth while to make me pre order.
Looking for more than a free case and S pen.

A little light reading.
Still have concerns with battery life but the camera seems like it should no longer be an issue.

These pictures don't do it justice. I barely notice the crease on my Fold 3. I look forward to seeing if Samsung has improved the overall durability. Whether or not we are inching our way closer to standard phone durability.
I’m so glad the camera has been upgraded. I didn’t see the announcement. I just woke up! Is the camera the same as the one on the S22 Ultra? That was the only element my husband missed for the Fold 3. He got an S22 Ultra for almost free through his work just for the camera. He loves the Fold 3 a lot though. He’s almost never without it. Now it sounds like maybe he can get his ultimate device.
(I want the Flip 4 but I’m not willing to part with my S22 Ultra for it. It’s a huge beast and I struggle to carry it around, but it’s so amazing. I took it on vacation and all the shots my family missed on their iPhones I could get on my S22 Ultra. I wish the Flip 4 could have the Ultra’s camera.)

So the physical rotating bezel is gone. 😥. I'm still going to upgrade my Watch 4 Classic to Watch 5 Pro. Which will be the only Samsung upgrade I do this time around.
I think I'll be keeping my S22 Ultra and wait until the Fold 5. I'm more interested in upgrading my iP11 pro max to the iP14 pro max in several weeks. I'll definitely check for the Fold 4 display models at Bestbuy or Tmobile to see how big of a difference it is compared to the Fold 3.
The Buds Pro 2 look nice, but I already have the Buds Pro and Active. And I never spent money for Galaxy Buds. I'm spoiled at getting them free from Galaxy phone pre-order deals. So I'll pass on that as well. What's taking Samsung so long to update the Buds Active? Those are my favorite buds.

The camera system inside the Galaxy Z Fold 4 features a 50MP main sensor with 23 percent brighter pixels (than the Galaxy Z Fold 3) and a 10MP telephoto unit with a longer 3x zoom range and 30x Space Zoom, up from 10x digital zoom on the current telephoto module. The 12MP ultra-wide camera is the same as the one used throughout the S22 family, and on the previous version of the foldable as well.
When it comes to the Galaxy S22 Ultra, we all know how powerful that camera system really is - from the main module with 108MP sensor to the insane Space Zoom. In the table below you can take a quick glance at the camera systems in both models.

If the Fold 4 takes as good of low light shots as the S22 Ultra, then that alone is a major camera upgrade. Cause that was my biggest issue with the Fold 2 and 3.

I just ordered Beige, this would be my first foldable device so hopefully everything is fairly smooth. I have always bounced between iPhones and Androids, maybe this would be the thing to keep me on android side

My husband is going to wait a little longer. He’s still loving his Fold 3. Thanks to waiting he did get a massive discount and a huge trade in allowance on his S21 Ultra for the S22 Ultra plus his work picked up some of the cost so he is inclined to wait and see what deals he can get from waiting to trade the Fold 3.
from sounds the camera upgrade is basically normal S22 level not ultra level.
I would say this would be a good upgrade for fold 2 users but not for fold 3. basically seems very close to same as fold 3. very minor improvements.

I’m still on the fence. Biggest complaints were camera and battery. The camera upgrades are probably good enough to be honest but even though the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor is probably more power efficient I doubt it will significantly increase battery life. Always hard for me to turn down the new shiny things but my ZF3 is still nice to use on my work line and I have great cameras in the 13PM, S22U, and P6P which I’m still rotating on my personal line. This *might* just be the year that I not only don’t buy multiple phones but I may not buy even one phone. The last round of flagships were really, really solid.
