    You might be scratching your head at this, but bear with us for a moment. Unless you're fully locked into the Apple ecosystem, chances are you buy an iPhone for the prestige that's attached to the device. In many parts of the world, having an iPhone is a status symbol. There hasn't been any other device that can be a fit for those customers, until now.

    For those who know that life exists beyond Apple's walled garden, and there are many, their next “iPhone” isn't going to be from Apple. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is now the device to see and be seen with. If the iPhone was the status symbol of the 2010s, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is the future.

    Samsung marketing push for the Galaxy Z Flip series has been at that crowd. The clamshell foldable is highlighted as a device for those who live a high fashion, jet set lifestyle. It's the perfect accessory for a night out, while also being a very capable device. That's one of the reasons why the Galaxy Z Flip 3 ended up being such a success.

    The Galaxy Z Flip 4 is an exercise in refinement. It takes everything that was already great about the previous model and just elevates it to another level. Thus the Galaxy Z Flip 4 delivers everything that the casual iPhone owner wants. It's a bonafide head turner, it's fashionable, and entirely unique compared to every other phone out there. With all of the improvements that Samsung has made to it, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 is now the perfect iPhone replacement. Here's why:

    You can't beat the design

    There's nothing else on the market that looks like the Galaxy Z Flip 4. Even the most loyal of Apple fans would agree that the iPhones look a bit too similar these days. With the Galaxy Z Flip 4, you've got the added benefit of a unique clamshell design. Samsung updated the device's design with flatter sides and added a polished look to the frame for an extra pop.

    That's not all. Samsung enables customers to truly personalize their foldable with the Galaxy Z Flip 4 Bespoke Edition. There are 75 color combinations to choose from. So you can pair a gold frame with a green and red color panel if you so desire. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 Bespoke ensures that you always stand out from the crowd.

    Cameras are pretty good now

    For social butterflies, social media plays a major role. So they can't imagine having a phone that doesn't have a decent camera. After all, there are so many photos and videos to be shared with fans and followers. Samsung has made considerable improvements to the Galaxy Z Flip 4's camera setup. The 12-megapixel primary sensor is bigger and when paired with the 12-megapixel ultra-wide, it provides a decent package.

    Low-light performance has been improved significantly, so those shots from inside the club will always come out looking amazing. Samsung's AI processing for images and videos is great as well, ensuring that your device is able to capture the perfect shot every time!

    A battery that keeps up with you

    The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has a 12% larger battery compared to its predecessor. This is one major change that's going to make a lot of people finally buy the foldable. Our lives are dominated by notifications, apps, updates, and social media. Most of us can't imagine ever having to go a few hours without being connected, let alone an entire day.

    It's great to see that Samsung has equipped the device with a larger battery that's enough to provide all-day battery life, so you can shoot, record, share, and update your social media without running out of juice. That's not all, the 4nm power efficient processor that Samsung has fit inside the device provides even more power efficiency. Samsung has also upgraded the charging speed to 25W, meaning that you'll be good to go in just one hour of charging!

    Samsung's software remains unmatched

    When it comes to software updates, no other Android OEM beats Samsung, not even Google. The Galaxy Z Flip 4 gets four years of Android upgrades in addition to security updates for five years. The One UI custom skin is best in the business, with innovative features that make using your Galaxy device a joy.

    Apple does talk a lot about how its iPhones prioritize security. Samsung doesn't take security lightly, either. The Samsung Knox security suite provides defense-grade protection for your data. Secure Folder is a great One UI feature that enables you to lock away your most sensitive data in a secure enclave that's isolated from the rest of the device.

    If all this has convinced you to switch, Samsung even makes it very easy to transfer all of your data from your iPhone in just a few simple steps.

    Bet your iPhone can't do this!

    I wouldn't recommend trying to fold your iPhone in half. That will be a very costly mistake. Many fans of the Galaxy Z Flip series never stop being amazed by the fact that this phone folds in half. It's a very pocket friendly and extremely portable device that also happens to be a true flagship phone.

    You might get tired of folding and unfolding the device before its components start giving up. Samsung guarantees that the Galaxy Z Flip 4 can be folded 200,000 times. That's 182 times per day for 3 years! It lasts even longer than that, our very first Galaxy Z Flip from 2020 is alive and kicking!

    It's clear that the Galaxy Z Flip 4 stands for innovation and design. This used to be the hallmark for the iPhone, but Apple's dropped the ball on that a bit. With the Galaxy Z Flip 4, you get a device that's an instant conversation starter, one that's going to make your friends a bit envious, and make you stand out from the crowd.

    Sure, it may not have an Apple logo at the back, but once you try it out there's no way it won't steal your heart! The future is here and the future is foldable. Are you ready for it?

    So what are you waiting for! Order your Galaxy Z Flip 4 from Samsung.com and show the world that you're ready for the “iPhone” from Samsung!
