Samsung Galaxy Z Flip: 6 features

and facts to know before buying

Only $1,380? We’ll take two. BY MICHAEL SIMON

S

amsung wasted little time in

getting to the good stuff at its first

Unpacked event of 2020. Right off

the bat, it took the wraps off the

Galaxy Z Flip (go.pcworld.com/zflp), its

second folding phone and the first one that’s

actually kind of affordable. Seriously, it’s

cheaper than the Galaxy S20 Ultra (which has

a starting price of $1,400; see page 7).

As far as the specs go, the Z Flip isn’t a

midrange device like the Motorola razr

(go.pcworld.com/mrzr). Along with the Flip’s

6.7-inch 1080p display, the Flip has a very

speedy processor. I’m not sure exactly which

chip it is, but the specs say it’s a 7nm, 64-bit

Octa-Core Processor with a max speed of

2.95GHz, which is actually faster than the

S20. It also boasts 256GB of storage and

8GB of RAM. Its 3,300mAh battery seems

small, however.
