Design and Display
The Galaxy Z Fold4 is a phone that opens into a tablet — a 7.6-inch Foldable Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display with a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ and a 1200-nit peak brightness, at 1812 x 2176 resolution (around 373 ppi). There is a second screen too: a 6.2-inch cover display, Dynamic AMOLED 2X, 120Hz, protected by Gorilla Glass Victus+, at 904 x 2316 pixels.
- Build: unfolded 155.1 x 130.1 x 6.3 mm; folded 155.1 x 67.1 x 14.2-15.8 mm; 263 g. Gorilla Glass Victus+ front and back, Armour Aluminum frame, and IPX8 water resistance (up to 1.5 m for 30 minutes).
- Security: a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and no 3.5 mm headphone jack.
- Stylus: the S Pen is supported, but there is no slot for it — the pen is bought separately.
- Colours: Graygreen, Phantom Black, Beige and Burgundy.
Performance
The Z Fold4 runs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 (4 nm) — octa-core (1×3.19 GHz Cortex-X2, 3×2.75 GHz Cortex-A710, 4×1.80 GHz Cortex-A510) — with the Adreno 730 GPU. It is paired with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB, 512 GB or 1 TB of UFS 3.1 storage, and there is no card slot, so buy the storage you need up front.
- Software: Android 12L with One UI 4.1.1 at launch, with up to four major Android upgrades promised — that update support is now exhausted, so check which Android version a unit is actually running.
- Identity check: this is the Z Fold4 (SM-F936B) — not the Z Fold3 (Snapdragon 888, triple 12 MP, 1768×2208 display) and not the Z Fold5 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, slimmer hinge).
Camera
- Main: 50 MP, f/1.8 (wide), with Dual Pixel PDAF and OIS.
- Telephoto: 10 MP, f/2.4, with PDAF, OIS and 3x optical zoom.
- Ultrawide: 12 MP, f/2.2, 123°, 12 mm.
- Selfie (under-display): 4 MP, f/1.8, 2.0µm, under the main display.
- Selfie (cover camera): 10 MP, f/2.2, 26 mm (wide) — the usable one.
- Video: 8K@24fps, 4K@60fps, 1080p@60/240fps and 720p@960fps, HDR10 (main); 4K@30/60fps and 1080p@30/60fps (selfie).
Battery and Charging
- Battery: 4400 mAh, non-removable Li-Po.
- Charging: 25 W wired — 50% in 30 minutes (advertised) — over USB Type-C 3.2, 15 W wireless and 4.5 W reverse wireless.
- Used-buy warning: on a four-year-old used unit, check the battery health — the original 4400 mAh will have degraded, and 25 W is slow by 2026 standards.
Software
- At launch: Android 12L with One UI 4.1.1, with up to four major Android upgrades promised (now One UI 6.1.1 on updated units).
- Extras: Samsung DeX, Samsung Pay, Bixby and Ultra Wideband (UWB).
- Age: launched in August 2022, so the software base is four years old.
Price in Pakistan
The Z Fold4 launched in August 2022 and is no longer sold new by Samsung. Units in Pakistan today are used or parallel-import stock, priced by storage, condition and seller. MobileDokan’s rows convert to Rs. 333,999 (12+256, Official), Rs. 278,999 (12+256 single-SIM, Unofficial) and Rs. 300,999 (12+256 dual-SIM, Unofficial) — those are the prices used here, all Expected, and they sit around mymobile’s current starts-from price of Rs. 290,000 (the Official row is 1.15× that figure; the two Unofficial rows bracket it at 0.96× and 1.04×). mymobile’s own range is Rs. 290,000 to Rs. 450,000 depending on storage, condition and seller. All prices Expected; PTA tax not yet confirmed.
12GB + 256GB — Expected: Rs. 333,999
12GB + 256GB (Single SIM) — Expected: Rs. 278,999
12GB + 256GB (Dual SIM) — Expected: Rs. 300,999

Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and the exact model, SM-F936B — the Z Fold3 (Snapdragon 888, SM-F926B) and Z Fold5 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, SM-F946B) are different phones, and the Fold3’s display resolutions are often copied onto Fold4 listings by mistake. GSMArena also lists the SM-F9360 model.
- Confirm whether the unit is PTA-approved or Non-PTA — the price gap between the two is large on a foldable. Confirm PTA status via DIRBS, within the 60-day window.
- Check the hinge and the inner display on any used unit — the crease and the folding mechanism are the parts that wear, and a four-year-old foldable needs a hands-on check.
- Check the battery health.
- Make sure it is the Z Fold4 (Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, triple 50 MP, 1812×2176 main display) and not the Fold3 or Fold5.
Final Verdict: A 7.6-inch foldable at Rs. 333,999 — the cheapest way into a Samsung foldable, if you check the hinge first
The 7.6-inch foldable 120Hz display, 6.2-inch cover display, Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, triple 50MP camera, IPX8 rating and S Pen support are still a distinctive package. The weakest points are the 4400mAh battery with 25W charging, the weak 4MP under-display selfie camera and the four-year-old hinge on used units. The trap is the name — check model SM-F936B, the 50MP main camera and the hinge before paying.
