That’s basically the story of the Galaxy Z Flip:
versatility. Ever since I saw my first folding phone in
action, I’ve been waiting for someone to get it right,
from the screen to the form factor. I’m not sure the
Galaxy Z Flip will be it, but it’s definitely closer than the
Galaxy Fold was. And it doesn’t hurt that the Galaxy Z
Flip, while still expensive at £1,300, is £600 cheaper
than the Galaxy Fold.
Like the original iPhone, folding phones still have
many years of evolution ahead, but the Galaxy Z Flip
is a tremendous second effort, especially in light of
the Galaxy Fold’s woes. Samsung might have nailed
the hardest part of creating a revolutionary device:
convincing people that change isn’t just coming, but
it’s worth the investment.
When you get a phone call, the
Galaxy Z Flip’s tiny cover display
will let you see who it is
