Once folded, the Z flip can stand on it's own, presenting the perfect opportunity for hands-free reading, watching a video, or taking photos. Users will additionally have the flexibility of being able to utilize the top and bottom screens for different purposes, meaning multiple apps can be used at the same time. All of this coupled with day-long battery life makes for a revolutionary phone that is set to completely re-invent the once popular flip phone.
