It’s becoming increasingly clear that Samsung has not one but two (or more) foldable phones in the works, because as well as a proper successor to the (Samsung Galaxy Fold ) which for now we’re calling the

Galaxy Fold 2 ), the company is also heavily rumored to be working on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

While it’s possible that this is the Fold 2 in all but name, it sounds very different to the Galaxy Fold, with a likely different, smaller form factor and a lower price. Plus, some sources specifically suggest that both are in the works, so we’re treating it as a different device.

Below then you’ll find all the news and rumors that specifically seem to be talking about the Galaxy Z Flip, along with those which could be talking about either phone. And make sure to check back here regularly, as we’ll update this article whenever we hear anything new. Cut to the chase

  • (What is it?) (Samsung’s next foldable phone)
  • When is it out? Possibly February
  • (What will it cost?) Rumors suggest around $ 1, () roughly £ 1, 80 / AU $ 2, 97 Samsung Galaxy Z Flip release date and price

    The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip will probably be announced on February

    . That’s when Samsung is holding its big smartphone event for the first half of the year and where we’re expecting to see the (Samsung Galaxy S) range, so it’s an obvious candidate.

    It’s also something we’ve heard from a leaker , who added that the phone would be available to buy from February However, that’s not the only possible announcement date. The Galaxy Z Flip could alternatively land at (MWC) , which takes place at the end of February . That has also been put forward by a source , albeit in an earlier leak. And yet another source has said to expect a new Samsung foldable in April , but this claim is older still. Further confusing matters is that some of these sources could be talking about the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2, as that will probably also land sometime this year. With all that in mind, our best guess is February , as the most recent leak points to that date, and it’s also the only one to mention the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip by name.

    As for what the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip will cost, the same source as the February (announcement date said to expect a price of $ 1, (roughly £ 1, 96 / AU $ 2, 97), while earlier leaks (linked above) point to either 1, 15, (Korean Won (around $ / / 835 / AU $ 1, 320), or roughly $ 1, (around £ 1, / AU $ 2, We’re skeptical of the lowest of those prices, but the other two options sound believable, as well as being similar. Any of those would make it cheaper than the $ 1, (/ £ 1, / AU $ 2, 2020 Samsung Galaxy Fold though, which makes sense, as the Z Flip is rumored to be a bit less of a flagship.

    Samsung Galaxy Z Flip design and display

    Our clearest look yet at the likely design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip can be seen below. This leaked image

    It’s a design that we’ve also seen in an image supposedly leaked from a Samsung pr esentation , though notably there the phone was referred to as the Samsung Galaxy Bloom, which is likely its code name.

    Elsewhere we’ve heard that the phone will have a clamshell-like design , which would match the images above.

    As for the screen, several sources have now said it’s a 6.7-inch one , which would make it smaller than the 7.3-inch Galaxy Fold. The the most detailed of these leaks adds that the display has a 1.0 (x 2, (resolution and a) : 9 aspect ratio.

    Another leak adds that it will have a Dynamic AMOLED screen and that there will be a fingerprint scanner on the side of the phone. As with so much about the phone, some of the earlier leaks linked above refer to it as the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2, but we now believe they were talking about the Z Flip, as the leaks line up with recent leaks that mention the Galaxy Z Flip by name.

    We’ve also (heard multiple times that the Galaxy Z Flip will use ‘ Ultra Thin Glass ‘, sometimes referred to as UTG. This could make the device slimmer, but is likely to have plastic layered over the top to make it more durable.

    The phone is said to also have a small screen that’s visible when the main display is folded shut. This is apparently a 1. (- inch) (x) one, so will probably mostly just be used for checking the time and notifications.

    But you won’t be limited to just having the main screen open or closed, as you can apparently also lock it at 116 degrees, using the bottom half of the screen like a stand. You can see how this would apparently look in the tweet below. Basically, it locks into this position and more than just the camera will be supported pic.twitter.com/nmD8sraRx2 (January) , (Samsung Galaxy Z Flip specs) (The , the latest

    significant specs leak points to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip having a Snapdragon (Plus chipset, 8GB of RAM, and 400 GB of storage, with no microSD card slot, no 5G, and no 3.5mm headphone port.

    The most notable thing there is that chipset, which while being one of the best in any phone at the time of writing, is likely to be superseded by the chipsets in most of the early 1220096743200694273 flagships, including the Galaxy S 075. So including it here marks the Galaxy Z Flip out as a slightly lower end phone, despite the inevitably high price.

    That’s not totally unheard of though, as the Motorola Razr takes a similar approach. In fact, that phone’s chipset is positively mid-range. And while big name foldables are always likely to be expensive for now, using a lesser chipset can help keep the cost below astronomical levels.

    Elsewhere we’ve heard that the Galaxy Z Flip might even (just have a standard Snapdragon) chipset, rather than the Plus version. That seems less likely, but could reduce the price even further.

    The Galaxy Z Flip is likely to have fewer lenses than the Galaxy Fold, above
    (Image credit: TechRadar) The Galaxy Z Flip is likely to have fewer lenses than the Galaxy Fold, above Samsung Galaxy Z Flip camera and battery (The only) camera leaks that refer specifically to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip state that it will have a dual-lens MP main camera, with both standard and wide-angle lenses, while the front camera might be a (MP one. ) Elsewhere we’ve heard mention of (a) MP sensor paired with a zoom lens, but that’s probably headed for the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 if anything, since that’s likely to be more of a flagship.

    As for the battery, that’s (rumored to be 3, 600 mAh , which would put it on the small side. It apparently supports W charging , which is ‘fast’ but nowhere near as fast as some phones.

    It also said to support wireless charging and reverse wireless charging. Most of this battery information comes from just one source though, so we’d take it with an extra helping of salt.
