Samsung's second foldable phone, which has also been leaked before,Galaxy z flip, which was officially unveiled at the Unpacked 2020 event. It was also confirmed that this phone can be reduced in size through a vertical folding method, making it easier to put it into a smaller women's handbag or put it in a men's shirt pocket. When unfolded, it becomes a phone with a 6.7-inch screen.
As shown in an advertisement during the 92nd Academy Awards earlier, the Galaxy Z Flip uses a new hidden hinge with a dual CAM mechanism, which is designed to last up to 20 opening and closing cycles.
If opened and closed 100 times a day, it can be used for about 5 years. At the same time, the ultra-thin foldable glass Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) is used to ensure that the screen surface is not easily scratched.
Drawing on the design experience gained with the Galaxy Fold, Samsung has also incorporated the latest dust-resistant technology into the Galaxy Z Flip's hinge. This technology utilizes nylon fibers treated with micro-cut technology to block dust and dirt. Furthermore, the stepless hinge design allows the phone's screen to be unfolded completely flat while remaining fixed at a specific angle, similar to a laptop screen. This allows you to place the phone steadily on a table for selfies, live streams, or video calls.
The outside of the body is equipped with a 1.1-inch front quick window, which not only allows you to view the date and time, battery level, and receive message notifications, but also includes functions such as controlling music playback and answering calls.
In terms of hardware specifications, the Galaxy Z Flip uses a 6.7-inch Infinity-O O extreme full screen with a 21.9:9 display ratio and a Dynamic AMOLED panel design. The folded body measures 87.4 x 73.6 x 15.4/17.3 mm, and unfolded it measures 167.3 x 73.6 x 6.9/7.2 mm. It is available in two colors: Naughty Black and Naughty Purple.
It is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ processor, 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage capacity, and has a built-in 3300mAh battery capacity. The camera part uses a dual-lens main camera consisting of a 1000-megapixel video lens, a 1200-megapixel, f/1.8 aperture wide-angle lens, and a 1200-megapixel, f/2.2 aperture ultra-wide-angle lens. The fingerprint reader is configured on the side of the body.
The operating system uses the new version of One UI Android 10, and Samsung has also worked with Google to create new Android operating application functions for this foldable screen phone, making the Android operating system more suitable for the user experience of the foldable screen phone.
The Galaxy Z Flip is expected to be launched in 2 specific countries and markets including the United States and South Korea starting from February 14th, with a suggested retail price of US$12. In addition to the two colors of Naughty Black and Naughty Purple, a gold model will be added later. Currently, only the 1380G LTE connection specification version is available.
