The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2020 - Issue 27

bite gadgets Images courtesy of Samsung S amsung has changed the way they make smartphones with its first foldable glass display combined with a unique UX (User Ex- perience). The Galaxy Z Flip is a new statement-making first-of- its-kind foldable smartphone designed for those who see cutting-edge technology as a way to express themselves. This revolutionary design features a 6.7-inch display that folds into a stylish and compact form factor that fits in the palm of your hand, in your pocket or bag. Designed with an innovative Hideaway Hinge and custom-built UX, Galaxy Z Flip provides elegant new ways to capture, share, and experience content. Thanks to its Infinity Flex Display with Samsung’s proprietary bendable Ultra Thin Glass (UTG), the smartphone is slimmer with a sleek, premium look and feel that has never been seen in a foldable device before. The centred in-display camera cutout at the top also means there is no notch and no distractions with Samsung’s first-ever 21.9:9 ratio. “At Samsung, we were encouraged by the excitement for the Galaxy Fold. Galaxy Z Flip is an important next step as we look to build the foldable category by bringing to consumers a new form factor, new display, and most importantly, a new kind of mobile experience,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “With Galaxy Z Flip’s unique foldable design and user experience, we’re defining what a mobile device can be, and what enables consumers to do.” When the Galaxy Z Flip unfolds, it can stay open at multiple angles, unlocking opportunities for selfies that show more of the world around you and expressive video chats with Google Duo - all hands-free. Cre- ated from a partnership with Google, Flex Mode enables the display to automatically split into two 4-inch screens when the device is free standing so that you can easily view images, contents, or videos on the top half of the display, and control them on the bottom half. The new model allows the user to capture more on-the-go - from timed group shots to vivid night-time content. It enables you to create content for your social media feeds from the best angle and enjoy vid- eo recording with a 16:9 ratio that’s perfect for uploads to social media platforms totally hands-free with no tripod needed. You won’t even need a flash for capturing Night Hyperlapse videos or vivid low light shots with Night Mode. Whether it’s closed, standing upright, or open, you won’t miss a text, call, or reminder. When Galaxy Z Flip is closed, you can check the date, time, and battery status at a glance on the cover display. You will also get real-time notifications so you can easily answer a call without having to unfold, and respond to a text by simply tapping the notifi- cation and unfolding the phone. The Multi-View Window allows the user to multitask such as dropping and dragging apps and scrolling through articles. Other features include a flagship-level performance across camera, display, battery, security as well as services like Samsung Health, Sam- sung Pay, and Samsung Knox, and versatile camera experience with 4K video capture, Live Focus, and Super Steady recording. It features an optimised dual battery system that holds more power without taking up more space - wired or wirelessly quick charge. The Galaxy Z Flip is available in the bold and creative Mirror Purple, luxurious Mirror Black which features a slightly bluish tint, and the elegant and refined Mirror Gold as well as the Thom Browne Edition named after the American fashion designer. www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-z-flip Galaxy Z Flip Features Samsung’s First Foldable Glass Display
