Samsung's newest foldable phone, Galaxy Z Flip, will cost $1,379.99 when it arrives on February 14 - here's everything you need to know

• Samsung has revealed its second crack at the phone with a foldable display, the Galaxy Z Flip, at a press event in San Francisco.
• The phone will cost a whopping $1,379.99, which actually isn't even Samsung's most expensive phone of 2020.
• The Galaxy Z Flip will be available in the US in limited quantities starting on February 14.

Samsung wants to try its hand at the foldable phone again, this time with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip shown off during a San Francisco press event alongside new Galaxy S20 phones. This time, however, things are very different.

For starters, the Z Flip takes on a very different design from Samsung's Galaxy Fold of last year. Instead of folding along a vertical line, this phone folds along a horizontal one. The result is a foldable phone that looks more like a miniature laptop than a tiny e-reader.

Samsung developed the Z Flip using its very own, proprietary "Ultra Thin Glass" that can bend as if it were plastic. It's the same material used in the screen panel on the Galaxy Fold. Now being a glass-covered device like every other major smartphone out there, the Z Flip could be much more desirable for anyone who needs to be on the bleeding edge of tech.

However, perhaps more importantly, the Z Flip is simply much, much more affordable than Samsung's Galaxy Fold of last year. This should make the Z Flip a much more attractive purchase for the early adopter. You know, after the reviews come in.
