Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Exceptionally thin and pocketable for a book-style foldable. Multiple users highlight how slim the Mix Fold 4 feels folded, saying it doesn't feel noticeably thicker than a normal phone unlike Samsung's Fold, and that with the included case it stays super slim and even helps grip around the camera hump. IPX8 water resistance and a bundled charger and case were also called out as thoughtful extras that Samsung reportedly lacks.

The crease and camera design are recurring sore points. Several commenters say the crease is more visible and pronounced than on the Mix Fold 3, with one describing a cracked inner screen starting exactly at the crease line. Others dislike the new camera bump, calling it a design downgrade compared to the classier Mix Fold 3 and preferring the circular bumps on Vivo, OnePlus, and Honor foldables instead.

Strong performance but software and screen size feel like compromises. Users say gaming performance on Xiaomi foldables is smooth even at high settings, and one noted its AnTuTu score beats the Z Fold 6. But others are disappointed the inner display shrank versus the Mix Fold 3, multitasking still can't stack apps vertically, and the lack of Android Auto was called a dealbreaker by one commenter despite otherwise enjoying the phone.
