Samsung is committed to Galaxy Z Flip will be much more durable than Galaxy Fold

At the Galaxy Unpacked 2020 event held in San Francisco early on February 12 (Vietnam time), Samsung officially launched the new Galaxy Z Flip, the company’s next folding smartphone after the Galaxy Fold. After a year of development, Samsung today announced that the screen and hinge problems that exist on its predecessor Galaxy Fold will be solved on the new Galaxy Z Flip.

Galaxy Z Flip is equipped with a flexible 6.7-inch screen, placed in a small square frame and looks more like a folding screen phone than a folding screen tablet (like Galaxy Fold). The reason is that the Galaxy Z Flip uses the horizontal folding mechanism, folding the machine vertically instead of vertical hinge and folding the machine horizontally like Galaxy Fold, thereby making the Z Flip become “smaller”.

Samsung also said that the Galaxy Z Flip is the first smartphone to feature a “ultra-thin flexible glass” screen, which means that the Z Flip screen will have better durability than the flexible plastic screen on the Galaxy. Fold.

With the Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung claims the life of the flexible glass screen on this smartphone is over 200,000 folds in and out. In addition, the hinge of the machine is also customized to better prevent dirt from getting in. As we all know, foldable devices all have a gap where the folding hinge is located, which inadvertently facilitates the kind of dirt to enter easily and damage the internal components. in. And with the Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung has integrated a thin and soft layer of fiber into the gap where the folding hinge of the device is, creating a “wall” to help Z Flip withstand any dirt.

Whether or not the Galaxy Z Flip can help Samsung keep its promise of durability, but it seems that in the future, foldable smartphones will become more popular and more users will notice, at least in the future. near future.

Galaxy Z Flip has a price of 1380 USD, equivalent to more than 32 million and will hit shelves on February 14 here.
