On August 10, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4, but neither device remained the most recent foldable phone on the market for long.

In this article, we will compare the Galaxy Fold 4 with those from Motorola and Xiaomi to give you an insight into which is the right foldable for you. Pricing of the product In the UK, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 costs £1649, while in the US, it costs $1799.99. Pre-orders for the gadget are being accepted now, and it will be available for purchase on August 26.

It is rumoured to cost €1149 when it is sold in Europe, though this isn't confirmed as of now. Furthermore, it won't likely happen for a few more months. Design of the product Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 have a vertical fold that resembles a book. They both unfold to reveal a substantial main display, a front external display, and a back camera system. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a beautiful, high-end design, IPX8 water and dust resistance, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protection, an Armour frame, and other features. The Z Flip 4 comes in four standard colours, but it also has a Bespoke Edition model with 75 customization options. A screen is placed next to a dual camera on the outside of the device, which neatly takes up about a third of the rear. Everything else in the back is plain. When the main display is opened, it has extremely thin bezels and a punch-hole camera positioned in the centre of the top. At the edge of the power button is a physical fingerprint sensor.

It has a very thin build, measuring just 5.4mm, and is available in two colours. In order to accommodate its thin build, it chooses a waterdrop hinge and is similarly protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus. The Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 lacks an official IP rating but features an under-display fingerprint sensor in place of a physical option and a punch hole camera on top of both the external and main displays. Instead of an official IP rating, the Motorola Razr (2022) has a water-repellent coating. It is available in only one colour, Quartz Black, and provides Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The device has a dual camera on the outside, but the screen is located elsewhere and is bigger than the Z Flip 4. In addition, there are logos for Motorola and Razr, indicating that the Z Flip 5's exterior design is a little more complicated. Like the Z Flip 4, the main display has a punch hole camera positioned in the centre at the top, and it also has a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button. The Motorola Razr (2022) folds horizontally, offering a very small and portable device when folded and unfolded to a standard-sized phone.

Additionally, you'll receive OTA software updates. So what do you want to buy? Samsung provides more customizability options, a slightly more streamlined and clean design, as well as a bigger battery. In this comparison, the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 is the slimmer of the two devices and also provides features like an under-display fingerprint scanner, larger internal and external displays, slightly bigger battery, and faster charging. However, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 has a wider availability and offers features like an under-display camera, S Pen compatibility, better camera zoom, an IP rating, and a user-friendly interface. Even though it isn't quite as thin as the Mix Fold 2, the Z Fold 4 still has a beautiful design and will be available for purchase. While Samsung is readily available across the globe, Motorola and Xiaomi are currently available only in China. The choice between these devices will, therefore, probably come down to availability as well as general design preference, given that their core hardware is fairly comparable.
