Everything You Need To Know About Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 FlexCam

Samsung recently unveiled several new additions to its Galaxy family at the Unpacked launch event including the Galaxy Z Flip4 which is now available for purchase in Malaysia. During the announcement, the company highlighted its unique FlexCam feature – one of the many functionalities contained within the new foldable device.

However, you might be wondering – what is this function and how exactly does it work? Well, continue reading to find out everything you need to know about the Galaxy Z Flip4’s handy camera feature.

What Is FlexCam?

The FlexCam is a feature that allows users to take pictures and films while remaining hands-free. By utilising the Galaxy Z Flip4’s highly durable and posable hinge construction, this function enables users to prop up the camera on various surfaces and take selfies as well as group shots without having to seek the help of others.

“It’s like having a camera and tripod all in one”, as said by Samsung’s Dillon Hesse during Samsung’s August 2022 Unpacked event. As the phone itself can act as your tripod, the FlexCam essentially provides a completely new perspective to your photography.

Samsung mentioned the camera feature in its press release as well:

Designed with the young creator in mind, Galaxy Z Flip4 wants its users to have limitless opportunities to express themselves from every angle. With FlexCam, users can capture photos and videos from different points of view, with bolder angles than ever before. Shoot hands-free video or capture full group selfies at various angles by partially folding Galaxy Z Flip4 to activate FlexCam.

Speaking of “the young creator,” the FlexCam is not just a component of the Camera app.

In addition to being integrated into some of Samsung’s own apps, third-party app developers have also declared support for it including one of the biggest companies in the world, Meta. As per its announcement, FlexCam will enable users to create Stories and Reels hands-free on Facebook and Instagram as well as video calls on Messenger and WhatsApp.

Sound Familiar?

For those who are in tune with the Samsung Galaxy family, we reckon that this is not the first time you have seen the word “Flex” when it comes to a Galaxy Z device. Does the Galaxy Z Flip3’s Flex Mode ring a bell?

The Flex Mode was described as the automated UI layout modifications that took place when the phone was folded in half to form an L-shape. This meant that when the phone was folded in the said position, the shooting options for the Camera app would move to the bottom half of the screen for simpler control.

“Thanks to Flex mode on Galaxy Z Flip, you can use your phone hands-free by standing it up on a surface. Take selfies at whole new angles, make video calls, or capture long-exposure images without the use of a tripod easily by folding the Galaxy Z Flip”, said Samsung, while discussing Flex Mode at the time and essentially describing the FlexCam on the new Galaxy Z Flip4 as well.

This time, though, Samsung has additionally added software-based improvements to Flex Mode on the Galaxy Z Flip4. Currently, you can hold the phone like a camcorder to record videos and use the lower section of the screen as a touchpad to navigate through videos. Nice, huh?
