Samsung finally unveils foldable Galaxy Z Flip
The world’s biggest smartphone maker, Samsung, on Tuesday, unveiled a new foldable device, the Galaxy Z Flip, at its Unpacked press event in San Francisco, the United States.
The smartphone folds into a square, with a small rectangular display on the front cover for notifications.
Designed to be a full phone with a 6.7-inch OLED display that folds and shrinks into a much smaller square when it’s closed. Samsung is planning to launch the Galaxy Z Flip on February 14th.
The Galaxy Z Flip weighs 183 grams, and is powered by a 64-bit octa-core processor, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage.
Samsung says it’s using an ultra-thin glass on its 6.7-inch display which folds, and will last for 200,000 folds. It’s called the “Infinity Flex Display,” and includes Samsung’s proprietary bendable Ultra Thin Glass (UTG). There’s no notch or cut out, and Samsung is using the unusual 21.9:9 aspect ratio on this 6.7-inch display (2636 x 1080, 425ppi).
Samsung has also built a three-stop hinge that lets you separately use two halves of the screen when it’s propped up. It works much like a laptop, with a dual CAM mechanism to hold open at a range of angles. The idea is you can sit it on a flat surface and take a selfie with the camera shown on the top portion of the display, and controls on the bottom half of the screen.
