[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Samsung Electronics will sequentially launch its vertically folding smartphone, the 'Galaxy Z Flip 5G,' worldwide starting August 7. The price is set at $1,449.99 (approximately 1.73 million KRW), about 100,000 KRW higher than its predecessor.

On the 22nd (local time), Samsung Electronics unveiled the 'Galaxy Z Flip 5G' at its U.S. newsroom and announced that it will be sequentially released in some countries, including the U.S., starting August 7. It is expected to be released in Korea in September, with the retail price yet to be determined but anticipated to be in the 1.7 million KRW range.

Samsung Electronics' Wireless Business Division President (CEO) No Tae-moon said, "By providing 5G speed and connectivity on the Galaxy Z Flip, we are expanding our 5G device portfolio and helping consumers have meaningful experiences and accomplish more."

Equipped with Snapdragon 865+... Colors: Bronze and Gray

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G maintains the same design as its predecessor but features improved AP specifications. It is the first Galaxy product to be equipped with the Snapdragon 865+ chipset, enhancing graphics and processing speed compared to the previous model. The LTE model is equipped with the Snapdragon 855.

The 5G model will be available in two colors: Mystic Bronze and Gray. Compared to the previous model, which was released in Black, Purple, and Gold, these colors give a more subdued impression. A haze finishing technique has been applied to reduce fingerprint smudges.

Samsung Electronics stated, "While maintaining the Z Flip's form factor for portability, we have added components necessary for 5G connectivity and are releasing it in two new premium colors."

The rear camera features a 12-megapixel dual camera, and the front camera is 10 megapixels, the same as the previous model. The main display size is 6.7 inches, the external display is 1.1 inches, and the battery capacity is 3300mAh. The memory is 256GB.

The Galaxy Z Flip 5G supports 'Flex Mode,' which allows the device to be fixed at the desired angle. When watching YouTube, half of the screen plays the video while the lower half displays subtitles or comments. Tapping twice in Flex Mode switches the preview window from the top to the bottom.

In multi-window mode, users can drag and drop desired apps to use two apps simultaneously. It is also possible to open the messaging app and gallery app at the same time to quickly share photos.
