Samsung wants you to join the fold with the Galaxy Z Flip

Samsung seems to have figured out, or at the very least, worked on the issues with its first Galaxy Fold device. For their troubles, we get the more compact, Motorola Razr competitor: Galaxy Z Flip. The phone looks to have addressed common complaints, at least upon first glance. Actual use could prove to be an entirely different thing.

For now, the Galaxy Z Flip seems to have a robust hinge, which lets you open it in any position. It's said to open smoothly without any creaks. But that does make it harder to open, especially with one hand. It's like a classic clamshell, but it isn't at the same time.

Samsung shows off the Galaxy Z Flip during the Oscars ahead of its official launch

Samsung has basically shown off its newest foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip, during a commercial it aired at this year's Oscars. While Samsung doesn't name the phone, it shows what the folding device looks like and teases what it can do. The ad shows the Galaxy Z Flip sitting on the phone at a 90-degree angle being used for video chats. In the commercial itself, The Verge reports that Samsung cautions: "You may notice a small crease in the center of the main screen, which is a natural characteristic of the screen." The ad shows the outside screen, which is in full colour and capable of being used for caller ID with sliders for accepting or rejecting a call.

This isn't the first time Samsung has done ads during the Oscars. But it is the first time it teased a device it hasn't launched yet. The company is bent on hyping its February 11 event, where the Galaxy Z Flip is expected to launch alongside three variants of the Galaxy S20 series.
