The Galaxy Z Flip boasts a foldable display which is capable of folding into half to offer a more compact and practical utility

After officially teasing its Galaxy Fold successor at the Oscar 2020 awards show, Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip alongside the Galaxy S20 series of smartphones.

The Galaxy Z Flip boasts a foldable display which is capable of folding into half to offer a more compact and practical utility.

The Samsung Galaxy X Flip boasts a primary display measuring 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED Infinity Flex with 2,636 x 1,080 resolution, 21.9:9 aspect ratio, and 425 PPI density. Besides, it features a secondary 1.1-inch Super AMOLED display with 300 x 112 resolution and 303 PPI.

Unlike the Galaxy S20 series of devices, the Galaxy Z Flip is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 855 Plus SoC coupled with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB UFS 3.0 inbuilt storage. To maintain the sturdiness of the form factor, the Galaxy Z Flip sacrifices the microSD card slot.
