Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event is just days away, and the company is largely expected to unveil its second foldable phone alongside the Galaxy S20 series at the event. Believed to be called Galaxy Z Flip, the rumoured foldable phone is reported to sport a clamshell-like foldable design, and the official-looking renders of the phone have now leaked online. In these new images, the phone can be seen from all angles, revealing the hinge, the foldable display, and the camera placements. The phone has surfaced in two colour options – Black and Purple – but more colour could be unveiled at the February 11 event. Detailed specifications, pricing, and availability of the phone have also been leaked alongside.
Tipster Evan Blass and WinFuture have published the official-looking renders of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip foldable phone. The renders show that the phone can be folded vertically in the middle like traditional flip phones. It is seen to carry dual rear cameras and an Infinity-O display with the selfie camera cutout placed in the centre. The display is protected by a thin glass that reportedly brings significant improvements in flexible screen durability, and there's also a visible protruding bezel surrounding the display to protect it further. The renders show that the speaker grille and USB Type-C port are situated at the bottom edge, the fingerprint sensor is seen on the side, and a small second screen can be seen on the outer shell as well.
Coming to the specifications, the WinFuture report says that the Galaxy Z Flip is expected to run on Android 10-based One UI 2.0, and feature a 6.7-inch (1080x2636 pixels) Infinity Flex screen with HDR10+ and 22:9 aspect ratio. With the help of the hinge, the phone can be freely opened at an angle between 70 to 110 degrees. As mentioned, there is a second external display that is just 1.06-inch (116x300 pixels) in size with a Super AMOLED panel and Gorilla Glass 6 protection. The always-on display is meant for showing time and notifications.

Up front, the Galaxy Z Flip is tipped to sport a 10-megapixel camera with f/2.0 aperture and autofocus support.
The phone is reported to integrate a two-part battery with a total capacity of 3,300mAh. It is listed to support 15W charging and up to 9W wireless charging support as well. The phone is reported to weigh 183 grams, and measure 7.2mm thick when opened.
