Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is more than just a phone. It's a great secondary screen for your PC. It also happens to be powerful PC with its own computing OS.
Samsung is good at making some of the best phones money can buy. Samsung also happens to do a terrible job at marketing those great phones. Actually, the company sucks at it. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the best example of Samsung’s failure at telling a great story around a compelling product. Now, I have never recommended that a person drop $1,799 on a smartphone unless that person happens to be an enthusiast with a deep pocket. I know a few such people.
The pairing happens wirelessly, which is quite convenient. Another bonus is the app interface. As soon as you open an app from the virtualized Android UI ported over from the phone to your PC, the Galaxy Z Fold 4’s screen goes blank. Of course, it’s not perfect. You can’t fully resize the app windows on your PC, because it’s locked to the same portrait aspect ratio as the phone’s cover display. In hindsight, it’s probably for the best. You don’t want to see Twitter’s mobile UI stretched out into a squarish window on your laptop. It would look horrendous. I also remember scrolling past Instagram’s unoptimized, forcefully stretched version on the Galaxy Z Fold 4’s inner display not too long ago.
I overcame the limitation in two ways. First, I use a stand with an extending arm that puts the Galaxy Z Fold 4 much closer to my eyeballs. This way, I can keep an eye on the core communication apps like Teams and Slack without having to lean into it. Second, when not working, I mostly use it for controlling music playback on Spotify and keeping an eye on the Discord Chat while playing games.
I worked for three days using the Galaxy Z Fold 4 as a computer driving its own external monitor and didn’t lose my mind. When I told my sister, an AI research candidate, that my extremely crowded screen was being driven by the Galaxy Z Fold via a USB-C cable, she was pleasantly surprised at the phone’s prowess.
