 Hey guys, Thundie here and with me I have the brand new Galaxy Z Fold 4 and welcome to your gaming video on this bad boy. Now the Z Fold 4 is an update to the Z Fold 3 and it's brought in some really new and unique features. Now before we go ahead I want to give a big shout out to our sponsor of this video, Speegan who are also a channel sponsor. You guys know we love to use their cases and the accessories so stay tuned because I have a few things new from them that will showcase in this video and if you join us for the first time don't forget to hit that subscribe button and of course follow us on the channel to watch more content like this. So the brand new Galaxy Z Fold 4, if this is your first time looking at a foldable Samsung was the one that started the foldable trend and the Z Fold 4 looks very similar to the Z Fold 3. Now in terms of new changes Samsung says they've improved the hinge to make it smaller and it does look kind of smaller there but it still looks very similar and the cover display is also slightly wider. It's all in millimeters I could give you the numbers. Now the cover display is 6.2 inches but when you open it up you do get of course the main display which is 7.6 inches and does feel a little wider when using to game. It doesn't feel as cramped so when I'm moving around on screen while I'm gaming that feels really smooth. Now that display is 120 Hertz of course it got adaptive refresh rate on there so allowing you to go from of course 1 Hertz to 120 and take full advantage of that while gaming. This device is powered by the brand new Snapdragon 8 plus Gen 1. Now we've seen this in other devices and Snapdragon has really done a lot to improve on this piece of hardware which is great to see it in the fold because I thought maybe Samsung might not put it in this device it you know something that hey they might just skip but hey they said look we're gonna put it here because we want to want some performance and we want to see it push through and that is backed by 12 gigs of RAM and this starts at 256 gigabytes of storage. Now speaking of charging this does fast charging up to 15 watts for wireless charging and 25 watts for fast charging as you expect. Samsung doesn't provide any charging within the box so there's no charger which is why our channel sponsor comes into play and that is speaking with the arc station charger it's a 27 watt charger and this works perfectly for your galaxy z fold 4 it's a usb type c charger very small it's super portable and that of course you can take with you anywhere and they've also got a wireless charging stand specifically built to accommodate the galaxy z fold 4 whether it's upright or sideways it's the arc field wireless charger and this is built for this device to take advantage of it a maximum charging wattage it's 15 watts so if you've got a galaxy z fold this is perfect for you again the stand is nice it's got a really nice build to it and it also comes in a really long cable so you can place it anywhere around your desk or within your home so i definitely love those two and i think it's definitely necessary when using this device so let's go into of course some of that gaming as we would expect right and the first game that takes full advantage of that actually is call of duty mobile so if i had a call of duty mobile and it has the it has the ultra mode basically this allows you to exceed that 60 frames per second cap and we've got about 88 frames per second while playing call of duty mobile which was great it's something you don't usually get and i'm glad to see it here and i was able to enjoy that you saw this just looks really smooth now granted and resize my my control layout but it would get it was a nice gameplay experience and confirming of course with game bench we got 88 frames per second now when we move over to of course apex legends this we're still getting about 40 frames per second on the of course standard gameplay mode we can of course get slightly higher up to 60 but we got a solid 40 frames per second and this is very indicative of what we seem with snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 and also snapdragon hn 1 as well i'm sure there'll be some more fine tuning with this but the game ran smooth pretty well i had to stop because i couldn't actually finish my gameplay session for this for this game now when we move over to pubg mobile pubg mobile again looking at the two gameplay modes we usually play ultra hd ultra we got a solid 40 frames a second and you know gameplay well pretty smooth and then when we played on smooth extreme we got a solid 60 frames per second there as well so which means again the games you like to play you're going to get that kind of performance and gameplay now some of you're going to be asking me what about emulators and stuff like that i just didn't have time to do that but i will drop a video on board gamer for you especially guys are looking just for emulators so go ahead and check it over there on the channel over this weekend i should have that for you going over to genshin impact this is a game of course that we know is poorly optimized and we've seen different readings and of course the snapdragon 8 plus gen 1 does a better job on this now in about 25 minutes of gameplay we got about 45 frames per second for the first 10 minutes of gameplay we got about 55 to 58 frames per second so it's still set high but this is where we decided to do our temperature checks now while gaming playing genshin impact we're getting temperatures up to 110 degrees on the backside close to the camera while we're getting about 105 degrees on screen so that was running rather hard and again samsung used to leave the area in cooling and i am quite disappointed here because honestly the one plus 10t did a much better job in cooling its device at temperatures lower than 110 things about 106 or so compared to this now while we're playing the other games i mentioned earlier we're getting temperatures between 95 to 99 degrees so again genshin of course is something that pushes it but we're not really happy with the cooling we're seeing right here so when you have a device like the galaxy z fold 4 you've got a huge massive real estate for you to do a lot of gaming on right which is pretty cool but can you do more things than game at the same time now you've got different options here you've got the ability to to actually open up your games as a pop-up so you can actually use your screen to do something else now of course this will be more beneficial if you're using say a bluetooth controller uh to game that will make the most amount of sense or you can also do split screen as well so i can open up twitter and have pubg plain but again you're gonna either have to use a bluetooth controller or you can resize it but that gives you the opportunity to have multiple things going on at the same time the one thing we'll note that the split screen is split from left to right not top to bottom so you will have to slide the slider either way to actually expand or decrease the screen size for what you're trying to do now of course the feature is still there to switch over to cover display you can game on the cover display and some games will allow you to actually start within the main display and switch over to the cover display which is nice uh so games like pubg will do that and i believe genchi impact also does not every game supports that feature but it's something there and the cover display feels a bit more comfortable this time around so that's actually pretty good now speaking of discomfort and feel the device feels a little slimmer and lighter you know just while you're holding it either closed or open but i definitely would prefer having this protected with something and again our sponsors of the channel speaking they have some really cool stuff they have the slim armor pro and the difference with this case this here is that it's got an improved hinge that allows it to be more flexible fits really nice and snug and i really like using this case just to walk around and carry my device with me for just solid protection now i can still use this case to game it still feels comfortable enough and i know that while i'm gaming if i flip it or it falls i've got enough bumper protection to protect my interior display so i definitely like it for that it might be on the slightly bigger side for some people but if you're looking for a good protection this will actually do the job for you now one more thing we definitely have to look at of course or actually listen to is the audio from this device now the z-fold four comes with stereo speakers and these are two bottom firing speakers on either side which is great which means they're definitely louder so let's go ahead and listen to some game gameplay tips now not to worry guys we also have game streaming services and we all know xbox game pass is on every device and of course it runs pretty well on here now i was using my knock on controller if you guys want to check it out i have a link for you guys down below but it's a great way to actually go ahead and jump in a game and this works really well as you would expect so if you just think about game streaming services xbox game pass works well now when you look at this device overall as someone who is buying a foldable display and using it for gaming it works really well because of the larger screen real estate now what are the major improvements from last year i think the biggest thing of course is the processor the snapdragon 8 a plus gen one really adds more to it so better performance for you right there i like the slightly bigger screen size it doesn't show as much but it feels much bigger when you're holding it to play and i think that really bodes well for this device now is it something you should jump to to buy from last year specifically for this i don't think so i think if you have a z4 3 compared to z4 4 you're not going to feel that much of a difference i do like the device but i think there's just not much there to actually consider now if you definitely want to pick it up you cannot use samsung's trading offers which offers some really good deals and if you have a z4 3 you probably get it for about 700 bucks which is a good deal if you want to upgrade to the latest version but that being said guys that is all folks that is the z fold for gaming do you like what you see do you think it's a huge improvement do you think it's just rather small leave your thoughts down below don't forget to
