Samsung’s new folding smartphone launched on Tuesday, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. We recently saw a video of the handset and now we have another one.
The latest video is a hands-on video from Unbox Therapy, and it gives us a look at the design of Samsung’s new folding smartphone.
Design and Features
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip features a unique clamshell design that sets it apart from other smartphones on the market. When folded, it is compact and easily fits into a pocket or small bag. When unfolded, it reveals a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a resolution of 2636 x 1080 pixels, providing vibrant colors and sharp details. The device also includes a smaller 1.1-inch Super AMOLED cover display that shows notifications, time, and other essential information when the phone is closed.
One of the standout features of the Galaxy Z Flip is its hinge mechanism, which allows the phone to stay open at various angles, similar to a laptop. This feature, called Flex Mode, enables users to use the phone hands-free for video calls, taking photos, or watching videos. The hinge is designed to be durable and withstand up to 200,000 folds, ensuring longevity.
Performance and Camera
Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Flip is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ processor, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. This combination ensures smooth performance for multitasking, gaming, and running demanding applications. The device runs on Samsung’s One UI 2.1, based on Android 10, offering a user-friendly interface and a range of customization options.
The camera setup on the Galaxy Z Flip includes a dual-camera system on the back, featuring a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. The camera system supports 4K video recording, Super Steady video stabilization, and Night Mode for low-light photography. On the front, there is a 10-megapixel selfie camera housed in a punch-hole cutout on the main display.

Battery Life and Additional Features
The Galaxy Z Flip is equipped with a 3,300mAh battery, which supports fast charging and wireless charging. While the battery capacity may seem modest compared to other flagship smartphones, the efficient hardware and software optimizations help ensure a full day of usage on a single charge. Additionally, the device supports Wireless PowerShare, allowing users to charge other compatible devices, such as Galaxy Buds or a smartwatch, by placing them on the back of the phone.
Other notable features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for quick and secure unlocking, facial recognition, and Samsung Pay for contactless payments. The Galaxy Z Flip also boasts stereo speakers tuned by AKG, providing an immersive audio experience for media consumption.
