As Samsung's second foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip uses a vertical folding method to reduce the storage size, allowing users to more conveniently put the phone into a smaller female handbag or into a male shirt pocket.

The folding mechanism features a new hidden hinge design with a dual cam mechanism. Samsung claims it can last up to 20 openings and closings. If opened and closed 100 times a day, this translates to approximately five years of use. The screen is also protected from scratches by the Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG).
In addition, the nylon fiber inside the hinge blocks foreign dust and dirt, preventing fine dust from penetrating into the body and causing damage to the foldable screen.
The stepless hinge design not only allows the phone screen to be completely flat for use, but also allows it to be fixed at a specific angle like a laptop screen. At this time, you can place the phone steadily on the table to take selfies, or use the video camera for online live broadcasts and video calls.
The Galaxy Z Flip features a 6.7-inch Infinity-O display with a 21.9:9 aspect ratio and a Dynamic AMOLED panel. The folded device measures 87.4 x 73.6 x 15.4/17.3 mm, and unfolded to 167.3 x 73.6 x 6.9/7.2 mm. When half-folded, the screen is perfectly divided into two sections, allowing users to use different interfaces, such as watching live videos on the top half and manually replying to messages on the bottom.
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, it is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ processor, 8GB of memory and 256GB of storage capacity, and 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 has previously been confirmed to be launched in 2 specific countries, including the United States and South Korea, starting from February 14th. The suggested retail price is US$12.
