The Galaxy Z Flip will be the second foldable smartphone after Motorola Razr 2019 to feature a clamshell folding design. Although comes with a price of up to $1500 (around Rs. 1,06,700), Razr makes many users disappointed by only equipped with mid-range specifications.

This price is significantly lower than the Rs. 1,60,700 price of Motorola Razr with an outdated Snapdragon 710 chipset. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip is expected to use the Snapdragon 855 chipset - which was featured on many high-end flagships last year.
