Samsung Galaxy Z Flip: Details, features, price …

When last year's Samsung event UNPACKED showed us for the first time the top phone, the Samsung Galaxy Fold, this year Samsung is showing us another, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip specification

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is a high-end mobile phone and not only has its curved design figured out for itself but also for its specifications.

The screen is the star of this mobile, with AMOLED technology and full HD resolution that measures 6.7 inches, yes, at a much longer rate than standard. To the best of our ability we have the best Qualcomm processor of last year and 8 GB of RAM.

A sense of the past. Modern technology

How long have you not threatened your cell phone in half (without breaking it)? Are you small enough to never have one of these devices nearby? Although Samsung has never abandoned the "shell-type" concept with its advanced Korea Galaxy Galaxy W, now that concept is coming back to life thanks to changing views.

Engineering work by way of hinge Responsible for managing this mobile wrap. It stands out as a metallic in the center of a 6.6-liter Gorilla Glass crystal. It is the weak point of Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and the most noticeable part, especially after the Samsung Galaxy Fold problems.

In the middle of the glass comes a black spot for two rear cameras as well a little more than an inch screen which will show us notifications and allow us to perform other tasks such as receiving or rejecting calls.

By the look of it the wrap is 17 mm thick, but a very compact 87.4 x 73.6 millimeter Just, the hinge increases the weight to 183 grams and cannot close completely, leaving a small opening that allows dust to enter the screen.

The screen where the main item is to wrap

The fact that the screen is able to roll, which is variable, is already a success which is why this screen is not yet standard because it can get an example on the Samsung Galaxy S20.

Though we have technology AMOLED Power with a hole centered on the front camera screen, adjustment is reduced to Full HD (2636 x 1080).

Another important thing to consider on mobile phones is screen protection. So far, for example in the Samsung Galaxy Fold, plastic protection has been used against old glass, something that makes the screen more flexible and soft, making it possible to mark your nails. This is suspended on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip using the glass surface.

The excellent Qualcomm of 2019 brings Z Flip to life

It also highlights the high-end feature of this phone with the ability to fold in appreciation Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+, the highest-quality Qualcomm processor of the year, up to 865 remains the most powerful.

• Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ processor made at 7 nm.
  • CPU: 8 Cryo 485 cores. 1 to 2.96 GHz, 3 to 2.42 GHz and 4 to 1.8 GHz
  • GPU: Adreno 640
  • Neural unit for AI.
• 256 GB of storage
• 8 GB of RAM.

They do not accompany him more or less 256 GB of internal storage

To give life to all this we have a 3300 mAh battery which seems less about the type of device we're dealing with. The size, screen resolution and processor efficiency may make this number enough to endure a day of use, but it's something we should consider when analyzing the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

Charging is done using a USB-C port that uses a USB 3.1 data transmission rate and allows for faster charging at 15 W. It can be charged using fast wireless charging.

OneUI and Android 10 work together to roll

Inside we find Samsung's flagship, OneUI, which shines years away from the bad times of software from a company years ago. Far from wanting to escape from this layer, it shows a good performance, easy to use and good design and has many useful features.

It has Samsung Pay making payments through a range of banks available in Spain, Samsung Pass to store passwords for web pages and applications or among others, the secure folder to replicate applications and create a secure environment within the phone itself with Knox winning security.

We will never forget Samsung DeX, a way to convert your mobile phone into a desktop computer by connecting it to a screen that shows the interface that you can work with the keyboard and mouse by going wirelessly or wirelessly into a box.

The OneUI design is designed with apartment colors and rounded corners, taking into account the size of the current material that brings all the key buttons down.

OneUI 2.0 works on Android 10, thus covering all its issues such as body movement, Digital Health torture methods or a quick sharing menu. Thanks for having Android 10 Applications can take full advantage of the benefits of a mobile phone.

Bixby commands this interaction and its presence, such as on camera A view of Bixby which allows us to see the content in the pictures we take. Bixby Home, on the left side of the mobile "desktop" gives us useful information as well Bixby voice It's a voice assistant, available in Spanish, that lets you manage mobile features.

Another very useful addition to Bixby Bixby routines which allows us to adjust for most mobile settings when we arrive at specific locations, at certain times, when there is a small battery, when connecting to a Blux device, when connecting to a WiFi network …

Cameras in height inside and out

Samsung seems to have wanted to give more value to the photos on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and we've already seen it camera manipulation skills at first glance during the Oscars.

We can wrap up the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip to use front camera when we leave the cell phone wrapped 90 degrees, for example, a table. We can use this function with a camera that attaches the device to the top, to the hole in the screen.

It's a 10 Mpx camera similar to what we could find on the Samsung Galaxy S20, with aperture of f / 2.4 and autofocus, ideal for video calls (which we can do without fatigue leaving the phone at 90º.

At the back are two cameras that also share details on the new Global S20. The primary rear camera It has 12 Mpx, as Samsung has become accustomed to the previous high levels. It has aperture of f / 1.8, optical stabilizer and autofocus. Near it we can find wide angle camera, also at 12 Mpx but at f / 2.2 frame.

Price for Samsung Galaxy Z Flip

Samsung's investment in building the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and becoming a top-tier destination with the added value of being one of the first phones to investigate takes us far from the idea that we're dealing with a cheap mobile.

It will arrive in Spain on February 14 and you can buy it in advance at a price of € 1500. The price is far from what the high end is accustomed to at around $ 2000 for the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
