The phone features a 6.7-inch OLED display panel with very thin bezels – and it folds in a clamshell-like manner, which many believe is the proper way to make a foldable phone. The phone folds on a hinge that is covered and has brushes that keep dust out of the mechanism.
Over on the top half of the phone, you’ll find a dual-lens setup – a 12MP main lens and a 12MP ultra-wide angle camera. For selfies, you turn the phone around and use the same set of cameras while using the tiny display panel next to the cameras as a viewfinder.
Under the hood, the Z Flip comes with a Snapdragon 855+, 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. It also has a small 3,300mAh battery but supports up to 15W fast charge.
