In a surprise commercial aired during Oscars, Samsung gave glimpse of its upcoming foldable smartphone — Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. It shows a new square-shaped foldable phone in two colors — Purple and Black.
The advertisement showcases the smartphone on a table at a 90-degree angle on its own. Amid several leaks, this seems like the best look at it folded up, which doesn’t appear to fold completely flat.
Similar to the Galaxy Fold smartphone, this new smartphone will also have a crease. The small print copy in the ad reads: “You may notice a small crease in the center of the main screen, which is a natural characteristic of the screen.”
