When they were first introduced, foldable phones were a bit of a pricey gamble on reliability. Now, however, Samsung has nailed the formula by pairing what you’d expect on a smartphone spec sheet with a compact form factor. Under the hood is a Snapdragon 855+ processor, 8GB RAM, 256GB of storage, a 12MP camera on the back and 10MP on the front — both of which are capable of shooting 4K video. The Galaxy Z Flip has a small 1.1-inch display on the front for quick notification glances, which opens up to reveal a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 1080 x 2636-pixel resolution (425 ppi) — protected by durable folding glass to withstand day-to-day use. Because let’s be honest, no tapping of a red button on a traditional slab is as satisfying as snapping your phone shut to disconnect a call. Now you can do so without losing out on any of what makes a smartphone great! Looking for a new phone? Check out our best phone deals hub for the latest and greatest worthy of your hard-earned money.
