Now on shelves, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is Samsung's newest flip phone style device. While the Galaxy Z Flip 4 isn't dissimilar to its predecessor, the device has been kitted out with a larger battery and a camera that should perform better in low light. We'll need to wait to get our hands on the Z Flip 4 to see how impactful these changes are, but they address two of its predecessor's key shortcomings.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 plan providers
Telstra, Optus, Vodafone, and Woolworth Mobile are all ranging the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Here's a breakdown of the major benefits you can expect each provider to offer.
Telstra Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 plans
Telstra Galaxy Z Flip 4 plans are often the priciest on the Australian market, but they do come with a host of perks.
Telstra lets you pay your Galaxy off over 12 or 24 months, and all plans are free from excess data charges. If you go over your cap, your data will simply be slowed to speeds of 1.5Mbps, which is still fast enough to stream video in SD. But speeds may be slower during peak times.
Optus Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 plans
Optus Galaxy Z Flip 4 plans come with solid data inclusions.
Higher-end Optus Samsung plans also come with unlimited international calls to selected destinations included with the plan.
All Optus plans are contract-free, and devices can be paid off across 12, 24, or 36 months.
In addition, all Optus postpaid plans are free from excess data charges. If you go over your allowance, you'll be slowed to 1.5Mbps rather than being billed $10 per gigabyte.
Vodafone Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 plans
Vodafone Galaxy Z Flip 4 plans may not come with the kinds of freebies and perks you can get from Optus or Telstra, but they have perks when it comes to bundling.
If you have a Vodafone mobile plan, you can get most of the telcos internet plans - NBN, 5G home internet, and 4G home internet - at a discounted rate.
Vodafone customers also save 5% on their total mobile bill for each postpaid mobile plan on their account after the first. This discount maxes out at 20%, and doesn't include handset repayments.
Vodafone postpaid plans are all free from excess data charges. When you go over your plan allowance, you'll be capped to 2Mbps and 10Mbps, depending on how much you're spending per month. The higher your bill, the higher your capped data speeds. Vodafone also has a truly unlimited plan, with one slight catch - you'll only get 30GB of data for hotspotting each month.
You'll also get access to Vodafone's famous $5 roaming, which is still easily the best way to travel with your Australian phone number.
Woolworths Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 plans
Woolworths Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 plans may not come from a big name telco, but there are other perks.
To start, Woolworths Mobile also offers up to 500GB Data Banking for your excess data. Anything of your data allowance that you don't use will roll over to the next month.
Customers can also gift spare data to other Woolworths Mobile users.
Woolworths Mobile is powered by the Telstra network, but at present, does not have access to 5G.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 features
The Galaxy Z Flip 4's most significant improvement is arguably its battery, featuring a 400mAh more capacity than its predecessor. We don't know how this will translate to real-world usage, but given battery was the Galaxy Z Flip 3's key weakness, a larger cell is a good sign.
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 comes in four colours: graphite, bora purple, pink gold, and blue. Alternatively, you can build a custom "Bespoke" Galaxy Z Flip 4 on the Samsung website. Doing so will cost you $1,729 and get you a 256GB configuration.
| Camera | The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a 12MP primary lens and a 12MP ultra-wide lens, just like the Galaxy Z Flip 3. The camera hardware itself has gotten an upgrade, however, and Samsung says the Galaxy Z Flip 4 can take 65% brighter photos than last year's model. |
| Design | The Galaxy Z Flip 4 looks pretty similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 3, but has a slightly more refined design. |
| Battery Life | The Galaxy Z Flip 4 features a 3,700mAh battery, which is 400mAh larger than the Galaxy Z Flip 3. Battery was a weak spot for the Galaxy Z Flip 3, so we're helping the large cell gives the new model a bit more longevity. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 also features 25W fast charging, which was absent last year. |
| Processor | The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor. This is the fastest processor you'll currently find in an Android phone. |
| 5G | The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has 5G connectivity. |
