“At Samsung, we were encouraged by the excitement for the Galaxy Fold. Galaxy Z Flip is an important next step as we look to build the foldable category by bringing to consumers a new form factor, new display and most importantly, a new kind of mobile experience,” said Dr TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics.
“With Galaxy Z Flip’s unique foldable design and user experience, we’re redefining what a mobile device can be, and what it enables consumers to do.”
As the first device in the Z series, Galaxy Z Flip introduces a new device portfolio that reaffirms Samsung’s commitment to leading in the foldable category. Engineered with first-of-its-kind foldable glass, Galaxy Z Flip features a 6.7" display that folds into a form factor that fits in the palm of the hand1.
Galaxy Z Flip features an Infinity Flex Display with Samsung’s proprietary bendable Ultra Thin Glass (UTG), making it slimmer with a sleek, premium look. The centred in-display camera cutout at the top also means there’s no notch and no distractions, with Samsung’s first-ever 21.9:9 ratio.
Galaxy Z Flip’s Hideaway Hinge is backed by a dual cam mechanism – a rotating component to ensure every flip and fold is smooth and stable. Galaxy Z Flip can stay open at a range of angles, like a laptop screen. The Hideaway Hinge system also integrates Samsung’s new sweeper technology, which uses nylon fibres crafted by micro-height-cutting technology to repel dirt and dust.
Samsung worked closely with Google to design Flex mode – allowing the device when it is free-standing to display two 4" screens. Content can be viewed on the top half of the display, and controlled on the bottom half.
As a Galaxy device, Galaxy Z Flip boasts flagship-level performance and features across camera, display, battery, security as well as services like Samsung Health, Samsung Pay, Samsung Knox and more2. Enjoy a versatile camera experience with 4K video capture, Live Focus and Super Steady recording3.
Galaxy Z Flip literally stands on its own to capture more. Video can be recorded in a 16:9 ratio hands-free – no tripod needed. Night Hyperlapse videos or vivid low light shots can be created in Night mode – no flash is needed. When closed, capture one-handed high-quality selfies using the rear camera.
When it is closed, check the date, time and battery status at a glance on the cover display4. Answer a call without unfolding, or respond to a text by tapping the notification and unfolding the Galaxy Z Flip. Multitask with Multi-Active Window – simply open the Multi-Window Tray to drag and drop the apps to use.
Galaxy Z Flip features an optimised dual battery system that holds more power without taking up more space – wired or wirelessly quick-charge. With Wireless PowerShare5, users can wirelessly charge up your Galaxy Buds, Galaxy Watch or even another device. Samsung Knox protects users and their device from the chip to the software level and receives monthly and quarterly security updates. Users also get services that enable secure payment options with Samsung Pay, health and wellness tracking and monitoring with Samsung Health, and access to more than 5,000 Samsung and partner smart products through SmartThings.
