Even though the Samsung Galaxy Fold is older and heavier than the Xiaomi Black Shark 4, it's body is still a lot thinner. Both of these phones work with Android OS, but the Samsung Galaxy Fold has the newer 9.0 Pie version and Xiaomi Black Shark 4 has Android 11 version, giving you a couple nice extra features and increased performance.
The Xiaomi Black Shark 4 has a much better looking screen than Samsung Galaxy Fold, because although it has a quite smaller screen and a little worse resolution of 1080 x 2400, it also counts with a bit better display pixel density. The Samsung Galaxy Fold features a very superior storage for applications, games, photos and videos than Xiaomi Black Shark 4, because it has more internal storage.
Xiaomi Black Shark 4 features a bit better processing unit than Galaxy Fold, although it has 4 GB less RAM memory, they both have 8 cores. The Xiaomi Black Shark 4 takes much better pictures and videos than Galaxy Fold, because although it has a smaller camera aperture which is not nice for capturing photos and video in poorly lited situations, and they both have the same video frame rate and the same 3840x2160 video quality, the Xiaomi Black Shark 4 also counts with a lot more MP camera in the back and a much larger camera sensor capturing more light and vivid colors.
The Xiaomi Black Shark 4 has a little longer battery duration than Galaxy Fold, because it has 4500mAh of battery capacity against 4380mAh.
Although Galaxy Fold is a better device, it is a lot more expensive than Xiaomi Black Shark 4, and it doesn't have such a good price and quality relation as Xiaomi Black Shark 4. So if you need that extra features, you can buy Galaxy Fold, but if you don't you can save some dollars and buy the Xiaomi Black Shark 4, giving up a couple features and specs.
