$1600 for a Galaxy Flip foldable? Are you crazy?! By CNET

Welcome to alphabet city I'm your guide I as actor, and you are the most amazing audience in the whole world. Well, there are even more details about the Galaxy Z flip this time. It's where my twin future report, the site says the Galaxy Z flip will cost around fifteen hundred euros. That's around sixteen hundred and fifty US dollars. Europe would also get the phone on Valentine's Day. Let's talk specs to see if that price fits we're.

Looking at a six point, seven-inch screen that matches previous reports. The ratio is a super tall, twenty-two by nine, with a screen resolution of 26 36 by 1080. When future also says the flip will use ultra-thin glass for the screen. This should give better protection to that screen. Compared to the fold when closed a 1.0 six inch display is visible. It's got a resolution of a whopping three hundred by a hundred and sixteen pixels.

That's super tiny, so you're, most likely looking at notifications and a clock on that thing on the inside would be the snapdragon 855 plus other reports said the flip would pack in the 855. So, what's the difference between the plus and the regular, a 55, the clock, speed on the + is higher on the GPU and CPU. That should translate to better graphics and overall performance, but in future says that the Z flip will not support 5g, though, on the back or dual 12 megapixel cameras, the front-facing camera is centered at the top of the screen. There will be a fingerprint sensor on the Z flip, it's not in the screen. Instead, it would be on the edge of the case on one side.

That's also where the sensor is on the galaxy s, 10 II. That is a tremendous amount of information, we're still looking at a very, very expensive phone here. Granted. It would be a tad bit cheaper than the galaxy fold, but will that price be something people can look past I? Think the Z flip is going to be a very hard sell if that price tag is correct. All that being said, this is the first generation of a clamshell phone with a foldable screen from Samsung I expected this folding tech to wind up and a lot more of its phones over time.

As that happens, the price of a folding phone should fall in line with other phones, maybe by the third generation. The Samsung Galaxy z3 flip light edition will be subbed. $1000 I am curious about. If and when Samsung brings its folding tech to its other established phones in the past, Samsung would experiment with nutty ideas on the note, like the curved edge screen that wound up on the Galaxy S as well as a note of course, I wonder if Samsung will introduce a folding, S or note at some point. I still argue that the Galaxy fold, once it has some of its rough spots ironed out, should definitely have its tech attached to the note line.

It would be amazing to jot down ideas on the front screen or sketch out ideas on the larger internal one anyway. We'll have to see if there are any surprises about the flip. To discover when Samsung holds is unpacked event. On February, 11th o will be doing a live. Show around that event.

So come back for that on to comment Cove the last time I talked to you guys about the Z flip I asked if I'm folding phone solves any problems. After all, the reported screen size is not that different from they note, 10, plus here's what you had to say about that Alicia says: here's. Why I'm super excited about the flip smartphones I waited as long as possible before buying my first smartphone, because I hated the size of them when I finally decided to replace my Motorola Razr I chose the smallest smartphone I could find a Motorola droid mini it barely fit in my pocket three years ago, I upgrade to a galaxy s 8 and while I love the phone I hate the size, I can't put it in my pocket. I'm a woman and pants design for women have small pockets. It drives me nuts, and I'm, always forgetting my phone on a table counter a desk, Tony lanky says: I want this e flip just because it's going to look cool plus it'll fit in my pocket.

Much better than my note.10 does now d-man had another perspective on folding phones, no more, but dials off dot, Go says I couldn't care less about foldable devices, yeah nice gimmick, but not interested ever and Jo. Dunmore said remember when Samsung made that huge phone that nobody wanted I'm sure nobody wants this either now I'm 99% sure Jo is talking about the first Samsung Note, which arrived in 2011 back then it's 5.3-inch screen. What's considered huge well done! Joe. Do you want to know what Cupertino was working on? Definitely check this right here? If you've enjoyed your stay in Alphabet City, please like and subscribe.
