Samsung Galaxy Z Poster Leaked Shows A Triple-Fold Design Like An Accordion

Besides Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung also seems to be working on another foldable smartphone called Samsung Galaxy Z with a triple-fold design.

Samsung is one of the few manufacturers that has launched a foldable smartphone. Recently, there have been reports that the company's next foldable phone, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, will be introduced on February 11, during the launch event of the Galaxy S20 series.

However, apart from the Galaxy Z Flip, it seems that the South Korean phone maker is also developing another foldable smartphone called Samsung Galaxy Z. According to a leaked advertising poster on Weibo, this phone will use the unique 3-fold folding design, which is much more complicated than the first generation.

Unfortunately, the poster only says that the device will be called Galaxy Z, but no other information has been revealed. However, it can be seen that it has a design similar to the 3-fold smartphone that TCL introduced earlier. When fully opened, TCL's triple-fold phone will become a 10-inch tablet, which can also be folded in a Z-shape like the one in Samsung's advertising poster.

As for the Galaxy Z Flip, the phone will have a clamshell design like the Motorola Razr 2019, using a punch-hole display with a cut-out to accommodate the selfie camera. A report from South Korea said it will cost from 1 million won (around Rs. 61,000) to 1,5 million won (around Rs. 91,500). This price is significantly lower than the $1,500 (around Rs. 1,07,000) price of Motorola Razr, although the Galaxy Z Flip is also equipped with a more powerful hardware configuration.

Galaxy Z Flip is rumored to have a 6.7-inch flexible screen, a 10MP selfie camera placed in the cut-out on the front. This is the first foldable smartphone to use a bendable ultra-thin glass covering the screen, replacing the plastic screen protection seen on the Galaxy Fold. As a result, the durability of the device will be improved and at the same time limit scratches during use.

Inside, the Galaxy Z Flip is expected to carry on the hardware power comes from the high-end Snapdragon 855 processor, 1-inch secondary screen and a dual camera on the back. The device can be equipped with two batteries with a total capacity of 3,300mAh and support 15W fast charging, larger than the 2,510mAh battery used on Motorola Razr 2019.
