According to a new report, Samsung will call its next foldable, Galaxy Z Flip, and t Galaxy Bloom or Galaxy Fold 2 as speculated. Galaxy Z Flip, even though it will be a successor to Galaxy Fold, will see Samsung going on a more conventional route when it comes to design and pricing. Galaxy Z Flip is expected to me a more toned-down affair in comparison to Galaxy Fold. 

re’s a very high probability that Galaxy Z Flip will be a clamshell foldable, sort of like Moto Razr 2019. But unlike Moto Razr 2019, or even Galaxy Fold, Galaxy Z Flip will feature ultra-thin glass and ar layer of plastic over it as a precautionary measure against accidental scratches. This is said to ensure an easy repair process over outgoing Galaxy Fold.

As for form factor itself, a clamshell design seems more practical. “This brand-new form factor that we’re w exploring will t only easily fit in your pocket, but it also changes way you use your phone,” Sally Hyesoon Jeong, who is head of Framework R&D Group at Samsung's mobile communications, had said while showing off mock-up foldable flip phone on st at company’s annual developer conference keyte last year.   

Elsewhere, Galaxy Z Flip is said to pack last year’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor as a measure to keep cost low. phone is furr said to pack a 3,300mAh battery with battery life roughly equivalent to Galaxy S10’s.

Live renders of this foldable surfaced online recently, showing off Samsung’s foldable flip phone in full glory. Basis of se renders, it seems Galaxy Z Flip will look a lot like Moto Razr 2019. But re will be differences. For starters, Samsung’s foldable flip phone will t have a ‘distinct’ chin at bottom. Moto Razr 2019 has one and it is home to a physical fingerprint reader for biometric auntication.  

Secondly, Samsung’s foldable flip phone, when folded, was seen having a much smaller outer display area sitting right next to a dual camera setup. It would be interesting to see if that’s what you’ll be getting in Samsung’s take on foldable flip phone, or if re would be more screen real estate to do more. Moto Razr 2019 has a considerably bigger outer display below main camera.
