Giant Galaxy Z Flip Leak Reveals Display, camera and Storage

The legendary Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, aka Galaxy Fold 2, aka Galaxy Bloom, has been fully revealed. New leaked information includes alleged information about the phone's flexible display, storage, onboard camera, etc.

With only a few weeks left until the Korean company's Unpacked event on February 11, it is reasonable to expect leaks of such a nearly confirmed phone.

On the other hand, there are some points that do not add up. On the other hand, there is one thing that does not add up: the list of technical features and the sub-$1,000 price tag that the Korean media is talking about. As you can see, this phone would be a beast even without the latest and greatest processor and camera.

Then again, the alleged leak comes from Ishan Agarwal, who seems to be a good enough source.

According to Agarwal, the flexible screen, which will be closed by Samsung's hide-away hinge, is a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel.

This is big. For comparison, the iPhone 11 Pro Max has a 6.5-inch display, while the Note 10+ is said to be only 6.8 inches, 0.1 inch smaller than the Galaxy Z Flip. But of course, every (hopefully satisfying) click to close cuts the display in half.

Earlier rumors said that the display will have double protection: first, an entirely new technology called ultra-thin glass, where the actual glass bends thanks to magic... The first would be something called "ultra-thin glass. This glass is said to be as thick as a human hair.

The second protective layer will be a polymer, but it is unclear if this is a factory-installed screen protector or an actual part of the display sandwich. Why create a new glass surface technology and cover it with plastic in order to give the foldable screen the feel and hardness of a regular cell phone screen?

Agarwal claims that the phone will not have a 108MP main camera. Instead, a 12-megapixel sensor will be used on the back. On the front will be a 10-megapixel sensor for selfies.

It makes sense to keep the previous state-of-the-art technology to make this machine at least a little more affordable or competitive than current flagships. While the camera performance might suffer, the portability convenience would definitely be improved compared to the small skateboards we carry around today.

Rumors suggest that the phone will come with 256 GB of storage, which is surprisingly high for a phone of this size that is rumored to cost under $1,000.

The new alleged leak "confirms" what we learned last week, but adds new information.

According to SamMobile, the Galaxy Z Flip will have a hefty 3,300mAh battery; Agarwal says this may be true, but also says it may be a 3,500mAh battery. If true, it would be much better than the Motorola Razr (2,510mAh) - especially as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip will have a 900mAh secondary battery (shown below) just to power the 1-inch secondary display on the phone's exterior There are also rumors that.

The battery will also charge at 15W, which is technically fast charging, but not as fast as the current top-of-the-line models from Oppo, Realme, and Xiaomi.

We will find out if this foldable dream will actually come true during the live Galaxy Unpacked on February 11.
