If #content is king for you, you’ll be happy to know the Galaxy Z Flip4 lets you shoot hands-free video and has a FlexCam, which can capture those hard-to-get angles (think big group selfies). Samsung also teamed up with Meta, so the camera is optimized for your Instagram needs.

With an upgraded camera, the Galaxy Z Flip4 boasts crisper videos and photos thanks to a sensor that’s 65% brighter than previous generations. You can also take selfies in portrait mode and from the cover screen.
