Galaxy Z Flip makes an appearance in a commercial aired during the Oscars

Just a hair ahead of its Unpacked event later today, Samsung unveiled the first official U.S. commercial for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip this past Sunday during the Oscars.

The Galaxy Z Flip (as the countless leaks, rumors, and renders note) is the latest foldable from the Korean tech giant. The Z Flip, in contrast to the current Galaxy Fold, is a clamshell foldable similar to the recently released Motorola Razr. The 27-second commercial that aired Sunday emphasized this form factor; dozens of simulated Z Flips were shown opening and closing on a flat surface to take selfies, answer phone calls, and more. The renders showed off a blackish-blueish color and a light purple color.

Little else other than the design was shown in the commercial. As such, the internal specifications are still unknown at this point. However, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event later today. Many anticipate a full announcement of the Galaxy Z Flip that will detail everything about the phone, including its internals and price. Hopefully, it’ll be a fair bit cheaper than the exorbitant US $2000 asked for the Galaxy Fold. 

What do you think of the design of the Galaxy Z Flip? Is Samsung opening a new door, or should it clam up? Let us know in the comments.
