Why the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip should be your smartphone upgrade

Innovation is alive and well in the shape of the latest from Samsung, an out-of-this-world smartphone with a foldable glass screen

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is a unique take on a traditional flip phone. When folded, it slides into a clutch bag or back pocket, but when unfolded, there’s a super-wide display inside.

At 6.7 inches, it's even wide enough for you to watch widescreen movies in all their glory, as the director intended.

It also boasts a small second screen on the outside, ideal for notifications, which is viewable when the phone's closed. This enables you to see who’s sending the email, texting or calling before you decide to open it.

The foldable glass screen is high-resolution and pin-sharp – all part of a phone with an opulent feel and premium build. The screen runs edge-to-edge too: there’s no home button, just a tiny dot where the camera sits within the display itself.

Another clever touch is that the fingerprint sensor is conveniently on the side of the phone so it doesn’t disrupt the look and the phone design also includes a prismatic effect on the outside casing that is sure to turn heads.

10-megapixel front camera

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip's hinge gives rise to a unique extra for photos and videos: you can put the phone on a flat surface and unfold it to the perfect angle to shoot hands-free using the 10-megapixel front camera. It's great for streaming video or video calls.

Twin 12-megapixel cameras – one wide-angle, the other ultra-wide, for maximum versatility – are on the rear of the phone.

Thanks to the latest Snapdragon processor, the Galaxy Z Flip is fast. The handset battery is also powerful enough to run for a full day with ease. In fact, there’s energy to spare, so you can put a friend’s wireless-compatible phone against it and charge their phone from yours. It also charges quickly – and you can recharge your phone wirelessly.

Just when it looked like phone design had stalled, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip proves that innovation is alive and well.
