During the release of the fourth-generation foldable smartphones earlier this August, Samsung highlighted the unique FlexCam feature on the Galaxy Z Flip4, which is essentially every camera capability that leverages the Flex Mode. Samsung has also partnered with Meta to ensure that foldable phone is better integrated with apps like Instagram, Facebook, and Whatsapp.
So, what exactly can FlexCam do? Check out how your Galaxy Z Flip4 helps you out in these three sticky scenarios.

Hold Up, What Exactly is FlexCam?
Simply put, it’s the ability to take photos and videos hands-free on the Galaxy Z Flip4.
When half-opened, the Galaxy Z Flip4 can be its own tripod and camera all in one. You can prop up the camera on different surfaces and capture selfies and group photos without having to exclude a friend or hand your phone off to strangers. You’ll also be able to experiment with bolder angles and different points of view. Just by manipulating your phone into an L shape.
Apart from that, Samsung has also partnered with Meta to give Galaxy Z Flip4 users a better camera integration to social media applications like Whatapp, Instagram, and Facebook.
Scenario #1: Vlogging
Everyone has that inherent desire to share their experiences with the world, and that’s why vlogging is all the rage nowadays. There’s a misconception that you need an expensive camcorder with tons of fiddly controls to make a good vlog and lug an unwieldy tripod around, but we have good news for you. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 can do all of that on its own!
For example, in FlexCam mode, you can hold your phone like a camcorder as you film, and the lower half of the phone will turn into a trackpad for scrubbing through the video. All the controls you need are within reach of your thumb, just like a camcorder!
Scenario #2: Selfies and Groufies
We’ve all been there: you’re trying to take a selfie with all your friends, but unfortunately, your arm is just a smidge too short to keep everyone within the frame. In this case, you have two choices: you or one of your friends can step out and be excluded from the group photo for the “greater good”, or you can flag down a stranger and ask for help, preparing yourself for the possibility them just running off with your precious phone. Not ideal, but what other choice do you have?
Well, the Galaxy Z Flip4 gives you another choice: prop your phone up by itself and snap away!
In FlexCam mode, the Camera app rearranges itself so that the image preview is on the top half, while the camera controls are on the bottom half for easy control. That makes taking selfies, capturing long-exposure images, recording yourself, or making video calls without a tripod so much easier, freeing both your hands as you don’t need to keep holding up the camera.
Plus, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 now sports an upgraded camera equipped with 65% brighter sensor, so your photos and videos are now crisper and more stable – day or night.
Scenario #3: Hands-Free Video Meetings
Remote or hybrid work, there’s one thing we can’t escape: boring work meetings! It’s one thing to have them on laptops, but sometimes you need to take them on your phone for one reason or another. The Galaxy Z Flip4, with its FlexCam features, makes the meeting that could’ve been an email so much more bearable.
You can leave the Galaxy Z Flip4 on the table with the meeting up on one half of the screen, while you, ahem, “take notes” on the bottom screen. The other end would be none the wiser!
In all seriousness, the Galaxy Z Flip4 is great for multitasking. You don’t have to worry about the phone freezing up or lagging due to opening multiple applications, as the Galaxy Z Flip4 employs the newest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, one of the most powerful mobile chipsets to date with octa-core and an Adreno 730 graphics chip, ensuring the best possible performance.
