We got to spend some time with the Galaxy Z Flip today and here's a closer look at Samsung's latest foldable smartphone:

The Galaxy Z Flip is the second foldable smartphone from Samsung and follows the Galaxy Fold that was launched last year. The Z Flip comes with an Infinity Flex Display featuring Samsung's foldable Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) and a hideaway hinge that the company claims is the smallest they have made so far.

When unfolded, the Z Flip features a 6.7-inch screen with a punch-hole camera. It's a dual-SIM smartphone, with one eSIM and one Nano-SIM card slot. E-sim services are currently available on Airtel and Jio networks.

Folded, the Z Flip fits on your palm and also comes with a tiny second screen (1.1") on the back top cover that you can use for notifications and also click selfies. You can also check the date, time and battery status at a glance on the cover display.

When the Galaxy Z Flip unfolds, it can stay open at multiple angles letting you go hands-free for selfies and vlogging. With the Flex Mode, the Galaxy Z Flip can be placed in free-standing state and the display automatically splits into two screens so you can easily view images, contents or videos on the top half of the display and control them from the bottom half and access two separate apps on the top and bottom halves of the screen as well.

There are two cameras on the rear - a 12MP wide and 12MP ultra wide and a 10MP camera for selfies.

The Z Flip comes with the Snapdragon 855+ under the hood and in only one variant - 8GB/256GB. It has a 3,300mAH battery with 15W fast charge support.

For security, the Galaxy Z Flip comes with a side fingerprint scanner and face recognition technology.

In-box offers on the Galaxy Z Flip include an accidental damage coverage, which is a one-time screen protection for the inner screen and protection for the external screen at a discounted fee at the time of repair. There is also a four-month free YouTube premium Subscription and up to a 12-month interest free EMI.
