In 2019, Samsung marked the beginning of the foldable era with the launch of its first-ever foldable phone-cum-tablet. Now the South Korean technology giant is back with yet another foldable device, the Galaxy Z Flip, with a revolutionary form factor, flagship-level performance, and features that will take the mobile experience to a whole new level.

Starting February 14, the Galaxy Z Flip will be available in limited quantities in Mirror Purple and Mirror Black, in select markets including the United States and Korea, followed by Mirror Gold in select countries.

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

Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics

The main features of the device are: 

  • Compact design: The Galaxy Z Flip easily fits into the pocket or bag, all thanks to its compact and portable design.
  • Foldable Glass: Samsung's latest foldable flagship features the world’s first foldable glass screen made of Samsung Ultra-Thin Glass, giving users a sleek and premium look.
  • Flex Mode: A custom-built user experience that automatically splits the display (when the device is free-standing) into two 4-inch screens, allowing users to view images, contents or videos on the top half of the display, and control them on the bottom half. 
  • Cover display: When closed, users can check date, time, battery status, real-time notifications and even answer a call or respond to a text by simply tapping the notification, without having the need to unfold the device.
