everyone it's known from tested I'm here at Samsung's Galaxy unpacked event along
with hundreds of other people checking out the new Galaxy S 20 as well as yes
they have another foldable phone this is the Galaxy Z flip Z flip question number
one can you pop it open as you can with one hand as well it is a really
interesting form factor unlike galaxy fold last year which of course had many
problems which we won't talk about today this like Motorola's new razor phone is
a very tall screen in fact it's a twenty one point nine or twenty-two by 9 aspect
ratio essentially resolution is about 26 36 by 1080 if memory serves me correct
you're getting about 700 more pixels long wise than you would buy a 1080 1920
by 1080 pixel wide phone definitely longer than your 16 by 9 if you're
watching $6.99 video content which you can of course do here in portrait mode
or or landscape mode in landscape mode if you're watching a video you will not
see their new camera whole pinhole the hole punch whatever you want to call it
that's gonna be on a lot of phones this year I'm still not sure if I like that
over not heavily like it over having a pinhole that's off-center this one is
centered but I'm also a fan of phones that have the cameras hidden in a
compartment in which it pops off it's that way you get actually do get up a
full screen I've used it for a few minutes here in both the hinged mode as
well as the full mode hinge mode I'm not super sold on it mostly because there is
not a lot of software that takes advantage of
Samsung does have their standard multitasking to go run applications in
Windows or you can have them split screens so an application like video or
camera can take the top part of your screen and it's like a web browser no
its calendar can take the bottom portion of the screen which you use as a
keyboard or almost like a trackpad that's kind of neat I don't see myself
holding and using the phone or browsing the web with it
hinge that often I do like it this way I really liked all designs I do think
single column browsing on social media browsing web pages looks really nice
when you have that vertical space as opposed to having a lot like a phone
that's more boxy or or rectangular I like the tall of screen is what I'm
saying there's also when you close the phone it is a mirror finish they have
three different finishes already lots of smudges fingerprints I think this one
even already has a light scratch on it so you don't want to take care of it but
in addition to the camera here you also have a tiny screen which displays
information like time notifications but interestingly you can also use it as a
viewfinder for the front-facing camera which technically I guess is the
external camera but it's front facing when you have it close isn't this aspect
ratio this one point one inch screen so you're getting a crop view of what you
take but it's efficient enough even want to see you know your eyes where you're
looking at what kind of look we're on the world next year that is a pretty
nice screen refresh rates pretty good good amount of color better than I would
have thought for something that's on the outside of the phone this is OLED on
this phone here unlike the GS 20 it's not the full 120 Hertz it's not the
highest resolution but one thing I did like is that the phone does feel pretty
light it's a 3300 milliamp battery split
between top and bottom using an octa-core processor I think on this one
is eight gigs of ram 256 feeds just storage but they are charging a premium
for this it's gonna start at thirteen hundred and eighty dollars the hinge if
you feel here you can feel a little bit of a divot on that flexible screen and
if you shine it the correct angle you can see a little bit of that scene they
say they tested this up to two hundred thousand fold
so we'll have to take their word back because I'm not gonna do that here today
I do like that you can hold this at multi positions I think there are three
basically main positions anywhere in this kind of top 30% radius it stays
pretty still but once you get it far enough then it pops open and they do say
there are basically not exactly a gasket but they have some almost tiny bristles
in here prevents us from getting into their new mechanical hinge if you notice
on the side there is almost a plastic bumper here that prevents the screen
from popping off also prevents dust from getting on the side here but I think the
benefits of having a focal screen isn't necessarily using it as a multi screen
display I think Google is gonna need to have its developers really support that
right now you have YouTube you have duo for split screen stuff but really it's
about the compactness of the form factor and this being relatively light relative
compact something can slip into short pocket or your backpack or your purse or
back pocket and then flipping it out to get a really tall screen is what they're
going for again it's on sale at the end of this
week February 14th for thirteen hundred and eighty dollars and that's the Galaxy
SIII
all right before you go of course there's the GS 20 she s 11 to 19 be
damned they're going from 10 to 24 2020 of course three models here galaxy s 20
galaxy s 20 plus and the galaxy s 20 ultra which is what I have here so much
stuff in this phone six point nine inch screen it's white massive force has that
center hole punch camera new things here I think three big new technologies one
120 Hertz screen no dynamic refresh straight this time you're gonna get 120
Hertz or 60 Hertz and you want to max out the resolution you actually limited
to 60 Hertz I think most people are just gonna use it at the lowest resolution at
a 120 Hertz because the smoothness you get a benefit of that much more than you
do of the higher resolution unless you're using the 8k video but we'll get
to that there's also 5g capability on all the
phones across the line that's new this year but of course you'd have to have 5g
service in where you live and then we're gonna have that here we're limited just
to LTE so can't test that and of course you're buying new phones also for the
camera system and the ultra has the most interesting camera system because not
only is there an ultra wide camera your standard camera but also there is now a
periscope camera with what they're calling the space zoom hundred X 10x
optical x annex digital equals 100x zoom it's kind of ridiculous I don't see
anyone ever using it for filming video we tried zooming all the way to 100x it
looks quite process to get almost the same type of edge enhancements that you
get with like a posterized filter and using photoshop and it's mostly if you
want to see a detail now if you really want to capture the detail with the
camera they're usually of course AI to do
things like image processing at one 10 to the second you can hold the phone
shoot a 10 second video and they'll give you like 14 different options for
framing for boomerangs for videos and it does shoot very high resolution video up
to 8k which you're gonna display where I guess on YouTube with some YouTube
compression or if I guess if you have a samsung q LED TV you can also
to that or watch it on the phone here honestly the light here isn't great so
take a video that we shot here didn't look that good but 8k videos you can
also take photos capture stills and get a thirty-three megapixel equivalent
photo from an 8k video which is kind of nice in the presentation they're talking
about a lot of content creators a lot people using this phone instead of big
camera rigs but you know most of people here I see they're on dslr's there are
merest cameras a lot of people yes also shooting with their phones as well but
it's gonna be mostly a compliment to the dedicated cameras I still don't think
this is gonna be replacing our dedicated cameras anytime soon it is going on cell
March six starts at $1,000 for the GS 20 all the way the GS 20 ultra the base
model for that will be $1,400 it's quite a big phone and it's their
galaxy flagship for 2020 now you wait for the note 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
see you in five years
