The battles between giants continue! We are now ready to make a comparison between the upcoming Tesla Phone Pi, which will be released in just a few months, and the latest ‘foldable’ from Samsung: the Galaxy Z Fold 4 model. The South Korean giant released its powerhouse back in August, and it made a lot of people happy who wanted more than just a single large display on a smartphone.
Galaxy Z Fold 4 is easily one of Samsung’s flagships for 2022, and it stands out for features such as the two large displays that form the Foldable Dynamic AMOLED screen of 120Hz for the refresh rate, the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, or the 12GB of RAM.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4: elegance and power
Surely you won’t complain about hardware power while having a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 in your pocket, and the larger display than those of non-foldable phones makes the device play the role of a mini laptop or a tablet. Galaxy Z Fold 4 features 5G connectivity, IPX8 water resistance, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and so on. The three storage options will assure you that you won’t ever need a memory card, which is why Samsung didn’t even implement such a slot in the first place. The phone comes in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB of storage space. All three of these options feature 12GB of RAM.
You know what they say that you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Samsung could have done a better job in some areas for its Galaxy Z Fold 4. The biggest downside of the flagship is represented by its front camera, which is a huge surprise. Surely you can’t expect to take some great photos with this phone’s selfie snapper, as it features only 4MP. It does have, however, HDR and video recording capabilities of up to 4K@60fps.
The rear cameras that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 features don’t disappoint, however, as they are represented by a triple-lens setup – a 50MP wide sensor featuring Dual Pixel PDAF and OIS, a 10MP telephoto lens equipped with PDAF, OIS, and 3x optical zoom, and also a 12MP ultrawide lens. You can record video with the phone’s rear camera setup up to 8K quality.
Another aspect that might have been worked a little better by Samsung is represented by the 4400mAh battery of the Galaxy Z Fold 4. It seems to have become a standard nowadays for top phones to feature a 5,000 mAh battery, which is something that Fold 4 doesn’t qualify for. However, the gadget offers fast charging 25W, which means charging 50% in just 30 minutes.
The price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is about $1,400.
Tesla Phone Pi: more innovation for smartphones
Judging by the information we have at this point, which is not really official, we can expect that the Tesla Phone Pi will have plenty of mind-bending specs for a smartphone. There are several hints that Tesla will establish new standards when it comes to smartphones through the release of the Tesla Phone Pi. We can expect, for instance, to see a camera capable of extremely high zoom features. The device will also likely be powerful enough to be used for mining cryptocurrency, which automatically implies that it will feature an extremely powerful GPU for a phone.
By using a Tesla Phone Pi, users will also get rid of the age-old ‘no signal’ problem completely. The upcoming phone is expected to feature a network that’s generated straight from a satellite.
When it comes to the rest of the specs, Tesla Phone Pi doesn’t disappoint one bit if the rumors are true. The future device will be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chipset of 4nm, 12 to 16GB of RAM, three versions of storage (256GB, 512GB, and 1TB), the main sensor of 108MP on the rear camera setup, and video recording capabilities of up to 8K, just to say the least. You can expect to safely use the upcoming smartphone from Tesla in plenty of difficult situations as well, thanks to its IP68-rated water resistance. Unlocking it will also be pretty easy and secure, as the device will be carrying an under-display fingerprint.
Compared to Samsung’s phone, Tesla Phone Pi will likely reach the threshold of 5,000mAh for the camera. The device is also likely to sport 65W Fast Charging and also Wireless Charging.
If you want to get your hands on the Tesla Phone Pi, you’ll have to pay about $999.
