Once we got the information on this amazing phone we started wondering how this phone is different from the phones of this era. Also how it brings back the memory and mix the modern specs also an interesting question. We will go through all the details.

The design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is something really astonishing. When folded, it is far more compact than any modern smartphone. Which is making it far more pocketable and portable. Though, the need for an external display over the top of this type of phone is crucial. Bringing back memories of a decade ago, the external screen lets you check who is calling, see missed notifications and even shoot photos although that last bit is a little challenging.

The opening and closing actions of the flipped version is cool. But you have to put more force than the average flip phone from the last decade. It will take some practice to flip it in a single move. You will need to cock your wrist back as you need to break the magnetic seal between the two halves and then flick your wrist forward with just enough force to get the hinge to reach the fully open position.

The external screen of Galaxy Z Flip is behind the reflective piece of glass over the top. At first glance much chance that you might miss it. Interestingly, it even supports swiping gestures. So you can even do stuff such as switching cameras.

Though the external screen sounds so promising in theory, in reality it is just a slim screen, so this small viewfinder is only going to help you make sure your faces are in the camera frame. Another fact is, using this very slim screen you are trying to capture a square aspect ratio photo. So framing is never going to be ideal. Let’s see if Samsung updates these features with any software update later on to support the functions.

Another problem, since you have to flip the phone every time to open to see the full viewfinder, you might find yourself slowing down to take a shot every once in a while. As that extra step to open up the camera, slows down the process. But there is that feature if you double-tap the power button before you open the screen, you can save some time off.

As expected you can use that external screen to see all the incoming notifications and follow accordingly. You can check your SMS or call notifications here. You can just clock and follow this notification with the corresponding app. Also, when playing music, you can access music controls from the external screen. So you will not have to open the phone to change a track.

Like the many other phones of Samsung, the Galaxy Z Flip also has an always-on display. But that won’t work on the external screen. It will only work while the phone is flipped open. But it will show on the external screen when connected to the charger.

The Galaxy Z Flip has some unique benefits because of it’s flipping structure. It can take a selfie without a stand. As half folded phone acts like a stand itself. Also, the V-shaped flipped phone can be used to make video calls or video recordings as it can stand on that v.

Flex Mode is not supported by many apps at the moment. You might find the Gallery, Camera, and Google Duo useful based on your purpose. The Google duo is probably the most useful. You can easily prop up the phone on a desk or table. Thus, you can use video calls completely hands-free. You can also place the Galaxy Z Flip up for a high-quality hands-free selfie video. You can even scroll through your Gallery’s photos while keeping the phone half folded.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip in brief

The Galaxy Z Flip is so unique with its design and the combination of the old and new tech. You can flip like the old days and enjoy all this latest camera and display features. But it seems, there could be much more in the external screens as it created the scope of many more options.

Overall, the first impressions of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip are not bad at all. The flipped version for a bigger display and the external display both are impressive.

Motorola Razr Fold

Many of us will never forget that stylish folding smart devices released on 2004 as Motorola Razr. Motorola planned to regenerate that popular model with the new bendable display option. This was planned to be out in the market by early 2020, but so far there was not much of an update from the company and does not seem likely to be released before the mid-year. Those who are waiting to revive that old Razr feel have to wait a bit. As per the news, this phone could be much expensive like $1500.

Though there is no news of any major changes in the other specs from the previous Galaxy fold, there is certainly better full-proof technology that is going to be used for the bendable display this time. Other features will be announced soon but the price range will not be much high this time considering the latest technology being used. The price range could be around $900.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip

Companies like Samsung don’t lose hope with failure. Rather they come back more strongly. Samsung not only planned the Fold 2, but there is also another exclusive model with flip is coming up. Samsung Galaxy Z flip will fight hard with the Motorola Razr Fold to bring back the memory of 2005. Galaxy Z Flip is all about its design. When folded, it is far more compact than any modern smartphone. Which is making it far more pocketable and portable.

Though, the need for an external display over the top of this type of phone is crucial. Bringing back memories of a decade ago, the external screen lets you check who is calling, see missed notifications and even shoot photos although that last bit is a little challenging. We might see this amazing piece very soon this year.

Microsoft‘s Dual-Screen Tablet Phone

October last year, Microsoft announced about a special folded tab to be released in 2020. Though the display is not bendable like the above folding smart devices, you can open both the folded displays which are physically separate but can be used as one screen together. This android powered phone will change the gaming experience and will bring a new dimension. Though the screens will be separated with a thin border, still many cool things can be done on the attached big screen. The price is still unknown.

Lenovo‘s Flagship PC

This expensive piece of technology will cost you around $2499. With its bendable display and other exclusive features will generate much premium experience than the other likes of the surface pro. This ThinkPad has a bendable 13.3-inch screen with high quality 2,048 x 1,536-pixel count. It can be used as a tablet if you unfold it all the way. If you fold the PC halfway, the top half becomes a display and the bottom half becomes a virtual keyboard.

Of course, there will be many more bendable devices to come in the future as this is the new trend. Also, the prices will come down when there will more devices to compete with each other.
