Leaked Video Shows Samsung's Clamshell Galaxy Z Flip Unfolding
A newly leaked video provides a clear look at Samsung's upcoming clamshell-style foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip, in action. The device features a very tall screen when opened and is expected to debut alongside the Galaxy S20.
A leaked video shared by Ben Geskin reveals what appears to be a prototype of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Flip in action. The clip shows a modernized take on the classic flip phone design, featuring a compact body with a tiny external display when folded shut. When popped open, the device reveals a distinctly tall screen that matches previous rumors about the handset's unique form factor.
The brief video does not provide exact specifications, but it clearly shows two rear-facing cameras and a hole-punch selfie camera. Previous leaks suggest the Z Flip includes a 6.7-inch display with extra-thin glass for improved durability over plastic alternatives. The phone reportedly runs on a Snapdragon 855 Plus chip with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of built-in storage, while omitting a headphone jack and a microSD slot.
Samsung fans expect the company to officially unveil the Galaxy Z Flip at its Unpacked event on February 11th. While the foldable technology could make this device cheaper than the original Galaxy Fold, it still carries a premium price tag that likely exceeds the cost of the standard Galaxy S20. The video leak leaves little mystery about the phone's physical design ahead of the official announcement.
