id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> The bendable screen on the Galaxy Z Flip has lots of possibilities.
Angela Lang/CNET Why stop at one foldable phone when you can have two? Following on last year's much-anticipated Galaxy Fold, Samsung is back this week with the Galaxy Z Flip, a foldable device that uses a clamshell design similar to the Motorola Razr.
We caught a glimpse of Samsung's clamshell phone in an ad that ran during the Oscars, but we've been hearing about it for a while, sometimes referred to as the Galaxy Bloom. And on Tuesday, at the Samsung Unpacked event, we got official word that Samsung's clamshell phone is coming this week. Samsung also rolled out at its event in San Francisco three Galaxy S20 phones and its Galaxy Buds Plus earbuds.
The new Galaxy Z Flip joins a tiny but growing collection of foldable phones -- including the Galaxy Fold, the Motorola Razr, the Huawei Mate X and the Royole FlexPai -- that's redefining how we use and think about mobile devices. Here's everything we do and don't know about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip phone.
