Foldable Samsung Galaxy Z Flip gets an exciting new round of rumored specs
Back when we still expected Samsung to christen its next mainstream high-end smartphone family Galaxy S11 and when we had no idea how the company’s sophomore foldable effort would ultimately be branded, a credible Bloomberg report hinted at a “big camera overhaul” for both these highly anticipated devices.
“Compact” display, familiar camera, big battery

We’re apparently talking a 12MP main imaging sensor on the back (most likely, the same one found on S10 and Note 10-series devices), a single 10MP selfie shooter (which also sounds familiar), and either a 3,300 or 3,500mAh battery. That’s a solid improvement over the initial rumor circling 3,000mAh capacity, and although it’s no match for what Samsung has planned for the S20 lineup, it should deliver comparable endurance numbers to the more than decent regular S10 variant.
The price tag is not etched in stone just yet
While we wouldn’t go so far as to call the Galaxy Z Flip the world’s first affordable foldable, all signs point to Samsung planning to stay below the $1,000 mark. There are even rumors calling for a starting price of no more than $800, which seems dubious, especially if there’s only one storage variant in the pipeline capable of accommodating no less than 256 gigs of data.
That sucks for anyone not residing in the homeland of the world’s top smartphone vendor, but on the bright side, this rumored diversity probably also means Samsung is in better control of the production process this time around, avoiding the issues that plagued the Galaxy Fold for so long last year and targeting a much wider global release possibly scheduled for sometime next month.
