Difference Between Samsung Z Flip 3 And 4

As you read, the refurbished Z Flip 4 is on its way to completing its first anniversary. It brings a set of improvements over its predecessor, the refurbished Samsung Z Flip 3. But are those improvements worth ditching the cheap Z Flip 3 and spending a couple of hundred extra bucks on the Z Flip 4?

Let's compare the two phones and see for ourselves.

When it comes to design and Display, you'll hardly notice a difference. Both phones share the same main display and cover display size, and the dimension difference is so small that it's not worthy of mention. But yes, the Samsung Z Flip 3 does feel lighter than its successor.

The real differences show up once you peek into the internals. The most noticeable difference is the processor configuration. The Z Flip 4 comes with the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which has a significant performance upgrade over the Snapdragon 888 installed in Z Flip 3.

The next big difference is that the Samsung Z Flip 3 isn't available in the 512GB storage option. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 also lasts longer, thanks to the bigger battery of 3700 mAh.

Being Galaxy devices, the two phones also come with Galaxy Store pre-installed.
