A new leaked photo gives us another view of Samsung’s folding Galaxy Z Flip

Just a heads up, if you buy something through our links, we may get a small share of the sale. It’s one of the ways we keep the lights on here. Click here for more.

We’re expecting another Samsung event later this month to launch its latest foldable phone, and thanks to serial leaker Ben Geskin, we have a preview of what to expect. I mean, it’s a flip phone. With a foldable inside screen. We’ve already seen one of those.

Guess it’s round two for Samsung and the foldable phone market.*

*I’m not sure five people counts as a market yet

Oh joy, Samsung’s latest foldable phone is actually real

What do you get when you put two squares together? No, it’s not homework club, it’s a foldable Samsung Galaxy Z Flip (I really hope they change that name before launch, nobody flips over anything anymore). I don’t get the “Z” either, as it only folds once. Maybe Samsung just wanted it to always be at the end of alphabetical lists of its Galaxy handsets.

Anyway, details are pretty scarce on the handset itself. Expect one of the latest Qualcomm chips to power it, multiple 12MP cameras since they’re in everything nowadays, multiple colors because it’s Samsung, and a price tag that will leave you with a kidney-shaped hole.

• It might be using “ultra-thin glass” that will let it fold and still protect the delicate OLED screen
• The tiny front display shows the time, battery stats, and works as a selfie mirror

Samsung’s got an Unpacked event coming on the 11th of February, where we expect to see both the Galaxy Z Flip and the Galaxy S20 range.

• Samsung is working on an AirDrop-like feature that nobody will probably ever use
• Samsung has a $499 phone with a removable battery and it’s coming to the US very soon
