Samsung has tried its hand at foldable phones before, but its new Galaxy Z Flip – launched today at its Unpacked 2020 event – folds from top to bottom rather than from side to side. It's a compact clamshell foldable, in the same vein as the recently-launched Motorola Razr.
Opened up, the phone has a 6.7-inch display, running at a resolution of 2,636 x 1,080 pixels. There's a dual-lens 12 MP + 12 MP rear camera here too, offering ultrawide shots but no optical zoom. Under the hood we've got a Snapdragon 855 Plus processor, 8 GB of RAM, and 256 GB of built-in storage. Those are very decent specs – close to top-end flagship level – although you'll miss out on 5G, and the storage can't be expanded via a microSD card. There's a fingerprint sensor on the side, a 3,300-mAh battery inside, and Android 10 as the software OS.
Some software magic is being applied by Samsung here as well. The display can split into two 4-inch screens as well as a single 6.7-inch one, while two apps can run above and below each other if needed. Camera controls can be placed on the bottom half of the screen with a viewfinder on the top, for example. As well as having the phone fully open or fully closed, you can also prop it part way open, like a laptop. Another cool trick Samsung demoed is being able to take a selfie while the handset is shut, using the camera on the back and the small secondary display (which usually shows the time) as a viewfinder. Samsung is promising the hinge mechanism is good for around 200,000 folds – some of us will run through that quicker than others, of course – and the company will be hoping the phone isn't dogged by the same hardware issues that delayed the launch of the Galaxy Fold. It has a tiny fiber shield to protect the hinge and to keep particles out, which is an encouraging start. * *
