Samsung’s fourth generation of foldable phones hits the market Friday, and they bring a number of improvements that could up the ante and justify their relatively high entry-level prices.

The Android (GOOG, GOOGL)-powered Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 and the Galaxy Z Fold4 start at $999, the same price as high-end phones like the Galaxy S22+, and $1,799, respectively, and sport improved software and cameras, not to mention larger batteries. What’s more, the Fold4 gets enhanced multitasking capabilities with a new PC-like Taskbar feature. Traditional smartphones offer basic multitasking capabilities, but nothing like what the Fold4 can do.

But foldables are still relatively niche devices compared to more popular flat-screen smartphones. They also come with their own unique tradeoffs, especially the Flip4 which you’ll need to unfold to use as a fully functional phone.

If you’re the type of person who loves cutting-edge tech, or in the case of the Fold4, a massive screen, these might be the phones for you. But if you’re looking to save some cash, or just want a phone that you don’t need to unfold, you might want to stick to Samsung’s flat-screen offerings.

Same looks, better software

You’d be hard pressed to differentiate the Fold4 and Flip4 from the Fold3 and Flip3. The Fold4 is built like a book, while the Flip4 is more like a makeup compact. The Fold4 packs a 6.2-inch cover display that allows you to interact with the majority of the phone’s features.

Open up the Fold4 and you’ll get a tablet-like 7.6-inch screen. In total, you can run three apps on the screen at the same time, with one larger app taking up one side of the screen and two smaller apps stacked on top of each other.

When you open an app, the Fold4’s Taskbar will pop up, offering a series of apps at the bottom of the screen that you can drag onto the main part of the display. Your most recently used apps will also show up in the Taskbar, making it easy to bounce back and forth between them.
