What if the best design for foldable smartphones was the flip format? As Motorola prepares to market the new Razr – whose release is scheduled for around February 6 -, the second foldable device from Samsung after the Galaxy Fold also presents a wallet design. The Galaxy Z Flip is reveals today in “press” images at WinFuture, after one series of shots in nature.
This new foldable Galaxy leaves the big chin of the Razr for a pretty attractive design. And unlike the Motorola model with “mid-range” characteristics, the Samsung device makes little compromise: Snapdragon 855 Plus, 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, a main screen of 6.7 inches (2,636 x 1080) with a hole for the selfie sensor, and a second screen on the 1.06 inch external shell (300 x 116) for notifications and time.
The photo sensors on the back will both display 12 megapixels, with a wide angle and an ultra-wide angle, on the front the module will be 10 megapixels. The real star of the Galaxy Z Flip will obviously be its foldable screen which will not be made of plastic, but of “ultra thin” glass, according to the site. Interesting when you remember that Corning is working on this technology.
This glass could prevent the Z Flip from being subjected to the hazards that Razr users will face: Motorola has indeed warned in a video (above) that the “ bumps [sur l’écran] are normal … Samsung, which has already had to fight in this area with the Galaxy Fold, will reduce the risks as much as possible, the borders around the screen of its future foldable smartphone acting as a bumper. It could launch on February 14 and cost around $ 1,400.
