Samsung Electronics has unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip, a foldable smartphone, following its introduction of the Galaxy Fold, together with the Samsung Galaxy S20, its latest series of flagship devices that introduces 5G and a new camera architecture.

“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 redefining what a mobile device can be, and what it enables consumers to do.”

Engineered with first-of-its-kind foldable glass, Galaxy Z Flip features a 6.7" display that folds into a form factor that fits in the palm of the hand¹. Galaxy Z Flip features an Infinity Flex Display with Samsung’s proprietary bendable Ultra Thin Glass (UTG), making it slimmer with a sleek, premium look.

Samsung worked closely with Google to design Flex mode – allowing the device when it is free-standing to display two 4" screens. Content can be viewed on the top half of the display, and controlled on the bottom half.

Samsung also launched a new flagship Galaxy family. Every device in the new Galaxy S20 lineup—the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+ and Galaxy S20 Ultra—comes equipped with the latest 5G technology.

Dr Roh commented, “As all three Galaxy S20 variants come with 5G connectivity, Samsung is providing a next-generation device for transforming people’s lives. With an incredible, AI-powered camera, you can capture the moments as they happen and connect more seamlessly with the people you love.”

All three devices are capable of delivering non-standalone and standalone 5G capabilities. The Galaxy S20+ and Galaxy S20 Ultra are the first devices able to take advantage of both sub-6 and mmWave*. The Galaxy S20 supports sub-6*.

According to Samsung, the camera is the single-most important feature for consumers purchasing a new smartphone. The Galaxy S20's new camera system is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and features its biggest image sensor yet.

Clarity

With a larger image sensor available on the Galaxy S20 series, camera resolution is significantly increased, resulting in more detailed images. The S20 and S20+ have a 64 MP camera. The S20 Ultra has 108 MP camera. The S20 Ultra takes things a step further with the option to shift dynamically between a high-resolution 108 MP mode and a 12 MP mode, thanks to nona-binning technology which combines nine pixels into one at the sensor level.

Zoom 

The Galaxy S20’s Space Zoom technology uses a combination of Hybrid Optic Zoom and Super Resolution Zoom, which includes AI-powered digital zoom. Use up to 30X zoom on the Galaxy S20 and S20+, or step up to the revolutionary folded lenses on the S20 Ultra, which uses AI-powered, multiimage processing to reduce quality loss at high zoom levels. This means Super Resolution Zoom can be experienced at up to 100X with a clearer view ever than before.

Single take, multiple possibilities

Thanks to its AI camera technologies, the Galaxy S20 can capture a number of photos and videos, such as live focus, cropped, ultra wide and more that captures every moment at its best.

Pro-grade filming

The Galaxy S20 offers 8K video shooting, which can be streamed to a Samsung QLED 8K for a best-in-class viewing experience². Stills from an 8K video can be turned into high-res photos. Bumpy experiences end up looking like they were shot using an action cam, thanks to Super Steady and its anti-rolling stabilisation and AI motion analysis.

Video chat
With 5G, the Galaxy S20 enhances the video chatting experience through a deep integration with Google Duo. New Duo features can be experienced first on the Galaxy S20. From the dialer, users can tap Duo to start a video call and enjoy, for the first time ever, FHD quality. Google Duo is compatible across operating systems, so users can video chat with anyone.

YouTube 

Samsung partnered with YouTube so 8K videos can be uploaded directly to YouTube—and with integrated 5G capabilities, on ultra-fast upload speeds³.

Gaming

With a 120 Hz display, gaming is smoother than ever. Later in around Q220 Samsung partner Microsoft will launch its popular Forza Street in the Galaxy Store, marking the first time the game is coming to mobile. Combined with a fast processor, 12 GB of RAM⁴, audio tuned by AKG and a game booster working in the background to optimise settings for peak performance, the Galaxy S20 is set to offer a powerful gaming experience.
