The Unveiling Of Samsung's Galaxy Z-Flip
CHURCH: Welcome back everyone. Well, the world's biggest smartphone maker is taking a second crack at a foldable phone.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We are changing the shape of the future with the Galaxy Z-flip. When it is closed it is a thing of beauty, it is smooth, and sleek and symmetrical. At half its full size, it fits right in my palm and snugly in my pocket. And the cover display shows me all the information I might need, at a glance. When I am ready to use it, all I have to do is flick it open, and then I get a full sized, 6.7 inch screen with hardly any metal.</s>CHURCH: And that is Samsung's big unveiling Tuesday in San Francisco, the Galaxy Z-flip is Samsung's second folding smartphone, it's first attempt, the Galaxy Fold had problems with cracking screens. Tech analysts Bob O'Donnell, says that the new clam shell design is an improvement.</s>BOB O'DONNELL, PRESIDENT AND CHIEF ANALYST, TECHANALYSIS RESEARCH: The critical thing with the Galaxy Z-flip is it has got to work reliably. It's got to avoid any potential problems like we have the first edition of the Fold. I think Fold is our exciting new category. They are totally different. They drive you to use your phone in very different ways. And I think people are actually going to really like it. They are not going to like the price point, and that is a challenge.</s>CHURCH: Yes, speaking of price, the new Z-flip ranges from about $1000 dollars to nearly 1400. And that is not cheaper than Samsung's first try with the Galaxy Fold.
