Review of folding smartphone Samsung Galaxy Z Flip

Samsung recently unveiled its first foldable smartphone Galaxy Fold... Although the phone was large, it quickly gained popularity and became in demand. Now the company has prepared another novelty, which has become smaller in size and acquired a new screen. The company has made a new foldable smartphone Galaxy Z Flip, which has a new folding mechanism and an interesting design. When open, it almost does not differ from conventional smartphone models. It has a nice large 6.7-inch display. However, when folded, it turns out to be an interesting compact device that attracts attention.

When folded, the phone activates an additional 1.06-inch display. It can be used as a viewfinder when shooting with main cameras. The company managed to make a compact folding device, which became very popular even before entering the market. Many are looking forward to a smartphone that will surprise all users. Let's take a closer look at the foldable smartphone Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

Main technical characteristics of the smartphone

Design

The design of the smartphone is all ambiguous. This is an ordinary modern smartphone with a design familiar to everyone. But this is only as long as the phone is in the unfolded state. If the smartphone is folded, it turns out to be a small device, unlike anything else. This is an interesting modern solution that the company has been developing for a long time, considering all the setbacks it faced with the release of the Galaxy Fold.

The body of the device is interesting and unlike the others. It is quite comfortable and fits comfortably in the hand. When folded, the smartphone is very unusual and attractive. I just want to see what kind of device it is. When the smartphone is folded, it has a 1.06-inch screen on the front. And also there are the main cameras and flash. On the back is the company's name - Samsung. When unfolded, the device looks like a smartphone. A 6.7-inch folding screen takes up almost the entire front. It is a modern new solution of the company, which was developed specifically for this new product. At the top of the display is a small front-facing camera.

On the back of the case, in the upper left corner, there is a dual main camera. There is a flash nearby. There is a small display in the upper right corner. In the middle there is a strip on which the phone is folded. The entire design of the Galaxy Z Flip is designed in an interesting and modern way. Thanks to this, the smartphone is so popular.Because only one kind attracts all users.

Main screen

As for the screen, the manufacturers have spent a lot of time and effort here. Because it was necessary to develop a display that would be of higher quality and better than the previous model of the folding smartphone. The manufacturers managed to make a new UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) display - a thin glass that will allow the smartphone to fold and at the same time not crack. And also the advantage of this glass is its good strength. It is resistant to scratches and minor damage. The entire screen is 6.7 inches foldable dynamic AMOLED. It has a large supply of brightness and color saturation. The display has an excellent resolution of 2636 by 1080 pixels and their density is 425 ppi. The screen turned out to be quite high quality and is able to surprise all sophisticated users.

Specifications

The technical characteristics of the Galaxy Z Flip are also excellent. Manufacturers have tried to make a device that will be able to perform all the tasks without any difficulty. And it was also taken into account that the smartphone should be relevant for more than one year. Therefore, the company chose the Qualcomm SM8150 Snapdragon 855+ processor as the heart of the device. This is an eight-core high-performance chip that has managed to prove itself from the best side. The processing power of the processor for the novelty is quite enough for all modern needs. The device received 8 GB of RAM. Although a little more could be allocated for the new device. However, the company tried to at least slightly reduce the cost of the device, so they installed such a volume. In principle, 8 GB is sufficient for modern applications and games. Therefore, you can not pay special attention to this. To store your information, 256 GB of memory is allocated. However, the new item does not have a memory card slot. Therefore, it will not be possible to increase the available volume. You will have to constantly monitor the memory load and, if necessary, delete unnecessary files to save new ones.

The smartphone also has a wide range of additional features: Wi-Fi dual-band, A-GPS, Type-C. The novelty also has a fingerprint scanner. The smartphone is modern therefore it has everything you need that can only be useful. The Galaxy Z Flip performed well in our tests. He is capable of performing a large number of tasks at the same time.

Autonomy

The smartphone has a non-removable Li-Po battery. It powers all the technical features and a new large screen. Although at first glance it may seem that the device is consuming a lot of power, it is not. All elements in the phone are energy efficient and consume little electricity. But the battery itself is 3300 mAh. This is not enough even with low consumption, so manufacturers have added the ability to fast charge both wired and wireless. Such a small battery capacity is most likely due to the fact that the smartphone is foldable. Therefore, the folding mechanism occupies a large place in ordinary smartphones.

Cameras

With cameras, manufacturers did not bother too much. However, they have established good options, which have more than once managed to prove themselves. Therefore, the novelty has a module consisting of two 12 megapixel cameras. The cameras are of good quality and have many different functions. They are quite capable of giving high-quality images with good color rendering. However, for a brand new smartphone from Samsung, this is not enough. The manufacturers could have installed something better. However, we have what we have. Although these cameras, in principle, are able to satisfy the basic needs of amateur photographers.

The first 12MP camera has an f / 1.8 aperture. It's a pretty decent camera that has a dual pixel PDAF, OIS. The second camera is also 12 megapixels with f / 2.2 aperture. A pair of cameras produce good quality images. For the ability to shoot at any time of the day, manufacturers have installed a flash that can easily be used as a flashlight.The front camera of the novelty is 10 megapixels with an aperture of f / 2.4. Has a good resolution and takes good pictures.

With cameras, the novelty is all mediocre. They do not stand out in any way and have everything that all smartphones have.

Software

For their novelty, manufacturers have chosen the Android 10 operating system. It has proven itself on the good side and has an excellent speed of work. With the available technical characteristics, this OS interacts perfectly and produces excellent performance of the entire system. To slightly uniqueize the operating system, manufacturers installed their One UI2 shell. She changed the appearance of the menu and all the icons. And also removed all unnecessary that clogged the system. The shell itself has served the entire operating system to work even better. Many manufacturers install additional skins for the main OS to make them unique and lighter.

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip smartphone is a modern device that has managed to bring something new to the mobile market. The phone turned out to be quite attractive and special. With just one look, a smartphone attracts attention. The manufacturers have done a great job and spent a lot of money to bring to the market a quality smartphone that will be perfect in everything. The company's most important achievement is the creation of a bendable display that will not crack and will have excellent security. The company succeeded and now it is only a matter of time before this screen will appear on others. As for the technical characteristics, the smartphone does not stand out as something interesting. Everything is pretty standard.

The performance of the new product is sufficient with abundance, but there is nothing new or unusual in it. The only interesting feature is the ability to fold the smartphone. This is what makes the device stand out from the rest. Otherwise, this is a standard smartphone from Samsung. However, if you want to stand out from the crowd, then you can safely buy the Galaxy Z Flip, which can provide you with this.
