Welcome to this really last minute blog post here on SteveOfficial – and by last minute blog post I mean like I am writing this 11 hours before its scheduled to go up on my website, so yesterday (11th Feb) was Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked press conference where they showed off some of their new gadgets, for example a new fold up phone, their flagship handsets and some new ear buds so in this blog post that I am writing I thought I would reveal all the details that came out of the Galaxy Unpacked February 2020 press conference
SAMSUNG GALAXY Z FLIP
So I am gonna start off by taking a look at a new phone that Samsung have recently made names Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, now this isn’t the first foldable piece of technology that is out there on the market, we also have the Galaxy Fold which folds from a smartphone into a tablet, well its a different story for the Galaxy Z Flip as it doesn’t fold out into a tablet unfortunately, but it does flip up like an old fashioned mobile phone from the early 2000s, I feel as though this smartphone is actually giving off some early 2000s vibes actually with its classic flip up style for this handset, the only thing that’s different about this phone compared to an early 2000s flip up phone is of the course the touch screen display as well as the selfie camera you get on the device too
Let’s take a look at the specs of this phone and I will start off by talking about the display itself well the Galaxy Z Flip fits nicely in the palm of your hands and when you unfold the phone it’s reveals a 6.7″ touch screen display in a full rectangle, it’s 6.5″ accounting for the round corners, on the website it has revealed that the actual viewable area is smaller due to the rounded corners and the camera hole
The good thing about the Galaxy Z Flip is that you can use it like a laptop, you can view things on the upper half of the screen while on the bottom half of the screen you can control what you see and do on the phone, another positive about this mobile handset is that you can shoot videos in the aspect ratio 16:9 widescreen in portrait mode
You can also capture some stunning photos and videos without the use of your hands by using the Galaxy Z Flip phone like a camera on a tripod, capture the perfect bright shot by using Night Mode which blends 14 shots into 4 minutes or you can capture captivating light trails with ease thanks to the Night Hyperlapse feature on the smartphones camera
You can now be able to capture a selfie within seconds thanks to the new feature that you can find on this smartphone device, and as a meter of fact you can even take one without unfolding the phone, all you need to do is press the power button and use the volume keys to capture the quality shot and then you can always tale a look at the perfect selfie on the cover screen of the Galaxy Z Flip phone
The next feature that you can find on Galaxy Z Flip is Single Take, now with this feature you can choose the perfect moment with the use of AI to create 14 different photos and videos with one press of a button, you can pick your favourite from a selection of Ultra Wide, bokeh, cropped, time lapse video and more
With the Galaxy Z Flip you can enjoy immersive video calls without having to hold your phone thanks to the new Flex Mode, All you need to do is simply half fold the Galaxy Z Flip device and place it on a table to view apps like Google Duo, and then watch on the upper half and control with the lower half of the screen
You can see apps take on a new dimension, as precise sensors on the Galaxy Z Flip means it can change how you experience apps that you view depending on whether it’s folded, half folded or or fully unfolded although there is a disclaimer here that compatibility to this feature depends on certain apps
The final key feature on Galaxy Z Flip is Hideaway Hinge, now this is a stunning innovation for the phone, which elegantly hides when folded it also uses clever sweeper structure to help prevent dust get in – and it also locks into different angles which means you can get even more from your phone
Now the Galaxy Z Flip comes in two different colours, the first colour is Mirror Purple and the second colour is Mirror Black, it also has 256GB of onboard storage but you can add additional storage thanks to a microSD Card, the cost of this handset via the companies website is £1,300 or alternately you can pay this is monthly instalments of as through the companies website you can pay £54.17 for 24 months
The Galaxy Z Flip is available to pre order now at the time of writing this blog post and will be available to buy at all good mobile network retailers from February 14th 2020
