Folding Smartphones are returning with grandeur. As a new soldier in this race, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip tries to steal the show with top-notch technology in minimal structure. Targeting Valentine’s Day, Samsung released this hotshot on 14th February 2020 in the U.S. and Korea. This second-generation Galaxy Flip aims to overcome the limitations of its predecessor. Let’s see what it really does offer.

Minimalistic Design

The first look of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip will remind you of the old saying ‘small is beautiful’. In the folding state, Z flip features a compact design (87.4 x 73.6 x 17.3 mm). This flip phone is highly portable, consuming limited room in your pouch/pocket. Not to mention, the premium look of this trendy folding Smartphone.

Folding Screen

In a folding state, Z Flip turns into half size. This high-end flip Smartphone shows you some information, like date, time, battery life, message, etc. on its exterior screen. You don’t need to flip out the phone to take a selfie. However, it needs some extra pressure to flip out this Smartphone with one hand, which might be uncomfortable for some users.

Smooth Glass Display

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip edges out the Motorola Razr by its Gorilla 6 glass built front glass. You can swipe its 6.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen up and down with superb comfort. Moreover, Z Flip is great for watching movies by virtue of its mind-blowing image quality – 1080 x 2636 pixels resolution with 425 PPI density.

Each flip smartphone bears an unavoidable crease where it folds. However, you can barely define its crease unless you look from an angle. The manufacturer has shown state-of-art design efficiency to make the creaseless discernible in flat mode offering a continuous display.

Durable Hinge

Samsung claims that Galaxy Z Flip has Fiber Guards inside the hinge, which will prevent dust and debris from entering through the tiny holes. Unlike usual folding phones, Z Flip is blessed with a three-step hinge structure. This hinge allows you to unfold this Smartphone through halfway or lying fully flat. This clever design makes Z Flip highly user-friendly.

Amazing Flex Mode

The most fascinating fact about Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is that in the folded state the display divides into two segments. This technology is termed as Flex Mode Software. Taking benefit of this design, you can open the hinge half-way and place this Smartphone over a surface resembling a palm-size laptop.

What is more? The Flex Mode technology has taken video calling to a new height. You will love the hand-free video calling option bending the front screen through halfway. Unlike the linear phones, in Galaxy Z Flip you can see both yourself and the person from the other end in an equal size window.

Camera Features

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip has two rear-end cameras. One camera has a 12-megapixel sensor. The other camera is tagged with Ultra-wide features bearing a 12-megapixel sensor. Using this camera you can take a 120-degree wide field of view. Zooming in and out you can capture panoramic views.

Galaxy Z Flip has a 10-megapixel selfie camera on its front screen. Samsung always emphasizes on standard image quality. Z Flip holds this legacy. However, the overall camera features of Z Flip may not fascinate you as the competitors, like Samsung Galaxy S20 5G are offering even better cameras for lower price tags.

Sufficient Memory

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip shook the world with massive internal storage. Its 256 GB memory features almost double the capacity compared with Galaxy S20. Adding to this, Galaxy Z Flip is backed up with an 8 GB RAM which enables this gear to run any high-end software smoothly. Though Z Flip has no additional slot for memory expansion, its in-built memory is enough to store files, software, and games.

Swift Performance

This cool gear is equipped with Qualcomm SM8150 Snapdragon 855 plus Processor with Octa-core CPU. The Android 10 operating system makes Z Flip fast and compatible to run the latest apps and software. You can play the up-to-date video games utilizing it's powerful 700 Mhz GPU Adreno 640.

Samsung’s latest folding Smartphone Z Flip’s 3300 mAh battery fall might disappoint you. But don’t worry! Its 15W fast wireless charging will save you time. The quick finger-print sensor will save both your time and privacy. In simple words, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip combines cutting edge technology with amazing design efficiency.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Price

Tech giant Apple is closing its stores outside of China for two weeks and will only sell online as part of efforts to fight the global viral pandemic.

"In our workplaces and communities, we must do all we can to prevent the spread of COVID-19," CEO Tim Cook tweeted Saturday. "Apple will be temporarily closing all stores outside of Greater China until March 27 and committing $15M to help with worldwide recovery."

In a lengthier online statement, Cook said that Apple's stores in China have all now reopened and what the company has learned there has helped it develop "best practices that are assisting enormously in our global response."

One of the lessons Apple learned in China is that "the most effective way to minimize risk of the virus's transmission is to reduce density and maximize social distance," he said. That's why the company is taking new steps to protect workers and customers as the infection rate rises in other places.

Apple's online stores remain open. Workers will continue to be paid and office staff will work remotely if possible, Cook said in the statement issued Friday.

The company has hundreds of retail stores worldwide, including 42 in China that closed or operated with reduced hours at the height of the country's outbreak.

The announcement came hours after Apple said its annual Worldwide Developers Conference would take place entirely online this year. Thousands of engineers and customers attend the event in San Jose, California, which is in its 31st year.

The virus has infected 137,000 people worldwide. Most patients have only mild or moderate symptoms and recover fully, but the elderly and people with existing health conditions are particularly vulnerable. More than 5,000 have died.

Vivo, a mobile phone manufacturer headquartered in south China's Guangdong Province, said Tuesday it has launched 6G research and development to cope with new challenges brought by data explosion in the future.

"Although the commercial use of 5G has just started, Vivo has already rolled out layouts for 6G, exploring the next-generation technology ahead of time," said Qin Fei, head of the Vivo Communications Research Institute.

According to Qin, the company's exploration of 6G is still at an early stage, and the institute has set up a specialized team to demonstrate the application scenarios of 6G technology and has participated in several industry-initiated thematic discussions.

Qin said the team would cooperate with domestic and foreign universities for further in-depth research on the technology.

Vivo became the world's fifth-largest smartphone maker in the fourth quarter last year, market research firm Counterpoint said in a report. Data provided by Vivo shows that the number of its network users has reached about 300 million.
