Samsung Galaxy Z Flip hands-on: here’s everything you need to know

Samsung’s foldable Galaxy Z Flip pushes boundaries in seriously impressive ways.

As usual, Samsung isn’t giving up yet. And its recent Unpacked event (not cancelled over coronavirus fears) the mobile giant revealed its new folding Samsung galaxy z flip phone.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip has the world’s first foldable glass screen and the top of the phone can stand up on its own at most angles. It doesn’t hurt that the Z Flip’s screen doesn’t creak when you open it.

Samsung wants to try its hand at the foldable phone again, this time with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip shown off during a San Francisco press event alongside new Galaxy S20 phones. This time, however, things are very different.

Compared to the Razr, the Z Flip also costs $119 less and packs in more features like two 12-megapixel cameras and a 10-megapixel interior camera, rather than the Razr’s single 16-megapixel lens.

Being the sort of groundbreaking device that it is, Samsung is charging quite a lot for its next foldable, but luckily not nearly as much as it did for last year’s Galaxy Fold. Samsung wants a cool $1,379.99 for the Galaxy Z Flip.

That’s actually a bit cheaper than Samsung’s most expensive phone so far in 2020, the Galaxy S20 Ultra at $1,399.99 — and a whopping $600 less than the $1,980.00 Galaxy Fold of 2019.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Release Date

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip will actually be here sooner than you might think. The company is releasing the phone in limited quantities in South Korea and the US on February 14.

Samsung Galaxy Buds+

Beside samsung devices unpacked event they announced brand new Samsung Galaxy Buds+ come out of left field! The second-gen of the Galaxy Buds are here, with Spotify integration and call optimisation. The Buds+ now have three mics built in, and ambient sound control. You can quickly flick between devices, too. Just tap the Buds+ to switch between phone, watch, TV etc.

Wireless power charging is a thing. 11 hours of charge for the Buds+, and 22 hours with the charging carry case. The Galaxy Buds+ cost $149. and the Galaxy Buds+ hit store shelves on Feb 14, 2020.

Therefore I can’t wait to use the Galaxy Z Flip longer. I still need to see what it’s like to actually use a phone with this form factor on a daily basis, I don’t know how comfortable it is to slide into a pocket, how awkward it can be to use one-handed with that super-tall display, how long the 3300mAh battery will last, and so much more.
