Samsung’s Galaxy S20 Ultra raises the bar on phones in 8 ways

id=”article-body” class=”row” section=”article-body”> Samsung offers the Galaxy S20 in three models.

Angela Lang/CNET The company that sells the most smartphones in the world, Samsung, goes first each year in unveiling its new flagship devices. This year, Samsung preempted its announcement of the new Galaxy S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra by unveiling a new foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip, less than 48 hours before the event for its new Galaxy S phones. If standing out against foldables wasn’t tough enough, unveiling its new foldable in a commercial during the Oscars made it even tougher. 

The Galaxy Z Flip will steal most of the headlines at Samsung Unpacked 2020, but that device is all about taking on the reborn Motorola Razr. The new Galaxy S20 has bigger competition in mind — Apple’s iPhone, Google’s Pixel and Huawei’s high-end phones — the phones many more people will actually buy in 2020. And to Samsung’s credit, the highest-end model of the new Galaxy S20 has done eight things that have raised the bar for flagship phones:

1. Introduces a 100x zoom camera.

2. Takes 108-megapixel photos.

3. Integrates two forms of 5G: Sub 6 (standard) and millimeter-wave (super fast).

4. Adds a 120Hz AMOLED display for 우리카지노계열 better video and gaming.

5. Offers 8K video recording.

6. Increases battery capacity to 5,000 mAh.

7. Includes a 25-watt fast charger in the box (and supports a new 45-watt charger).

8. Debuts “Single Take” mode to capture 10 photos and four videos with the push of one button.

That’s the skinny. Now let’s dig into the details. I went hands-on with the three new Samsung Galaxy S20 phones before Samsung Unpacked, and I’ll share my first impressions.

Now playing: 우리카지노계열 Watch this: Hands-on with the Galaxy S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra 3:36 Why did Samsung skip from S10 to S20?

Last year’s flagship Samsung phones were the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus, 우리카지노계열 preceded by the S9 and S9 Plus in 2018. The 2020 models are the S20, S20 Plus and S20 Ultra. So why has Samsung skipped from S10 to S20 in its branding, and why are there three models this year? 

The 20 in S20 refers to 2020 — Samsung decided to swap from version numbers to years. All of the phone-makers take liberties in the numbers they use to name their products, 우리카지노계열 but this move makes Samsung one of the first to tie the product name to the year, which has some practical appeal. It also doesn’t hurt that the number is higher than the product number of most of its rivals, 우리카지노 and human brains naturally tend to think bigger numbers are better.

Building a Cheap House in the Philippines

id=”mod_6963197″>I have read too many blogs where people have spent millions of pesos to build sub-standard house that ends up needing expensive maintenance. In my work, I see people with their hearts and budgets broken as they attempt to renovate or build a house. Quite often my advice comes post-disaster. So it is with this experience and after a lot of research that I started to build my own house in the Philippines five years ago.

I kept the floor plan simple: three bedrooms, one bathroom, a lounge/family room, and a large eat-in kitchen with verandahs surrounding the entire house. The total area was 140 square metres.

I built the house on a 100mm concrete slab with tied steel and concrete post-and-beam construction.

The walls are rendered, 100mm-filled concrete blocks tied to the slab with steel and horizontal beam. This part of the construction was cost- and labour-intensive, but it will for itself with years of maintenance-free living.

The roof is corrugated steel on a steel truss welded and tied to the slab with steel through concrete blocks.

Material cost was 310,000 pesos.

Labour cost of 80,000 pesos.

Construction took about eight weeks.

The total cost of this part of the construction is about 400,000 pesos.

This post is misleading. The cost is low because it only accounted the structural cost of the building. Finishing, 우리카지노 electrical, plumbing and sanitary items are not included in his estimates. These items will drive up the cost of the building . A house is not complete without those items. Don’t be fooled.

I transfered all your numbers to a excel, and recalculate it. Reason was to correct the unit prices to todays level.

I wonder why there is no windows, nor tiles or kitchen – bathroom expences included in this.

Is plastering of walls it all included, and how about painting inside and outside. ??

I would like your advice on a house my wife is building for her family in Numancia, my and my wife live in the UK but we have come back and have been paying money non stop for the project, I believe it’s a complete farse.

Anyway the land is owned already so they made plans for simple up and down house, 70sqm, up to now they have some beams up and still filling the floor they are now asking for another 80,000 for 10mm kabilya, which translates to ‘stirrups’ or re-bars’, the funny part is they only require 30 and by searching the net etc and your blog I have found out that they only cost peanuts, can somebody assist me in a true cost if I forward them the apparent floor plans which I have managed to save to my e-mail, we are back to the UK on sunday so could really do with some assistant even at a price. Thanks. Ross

How to Manage a Down Payment For Your Next Car?

WP Symposium Pro - Extensions Plugin
This demonstration has expired, please purchase a licence or uninstall the WP Symposium Pro Extensions plugin - get a valid licence code here.

The first thing to cross any car buyer’s mind is to set the correct numbers in place. When you are in the market to purchase a car, one of the biggest questions you will seek to answer is whether you should put your money in savings while paying a higher monthly expense or pay a considerable down payment and score a comfortable monthly payment? The answer depends on various different factors. In order to understand the importance of a down payment, consider the following factors before you make your decision.

Is Down Payment the Right Solution for you?

1) Lender Inclination towards Low-Risk

Financing a car means big numbers. When lenders receive large down payments, the subsequent financial risk associated with long-term loans reduces. According to a Forbes report, TransUnion, a credit reporting agency, predicted that 2018 will see a shift in the trend where lenders will focus on low-risk auto loans. It means it will be beneficial for customers willing to opt for 우리카지노계열 high down payments. Therefore, putting money down while purchasing your next dream car is advantageous in the long run.

2) Beyond Subprime Credit

According to Bloomberg, 9.7% of subprime auto loans cater to delinquency of more than 90 days. Most non-bank lenders are opting for high-risk lending which is increasing the number on a regular basis. But, it won’t remain the same. If you want to obtain an auto loan with subprime credit, you will have to diligent than before. Lenders see an upfront payment as financial stability. Once a high down payment is combined with job stability, the overall credibility of an individual increases. The ideal ratio of a down payment is 20% of the total car loan amount. However, the higher the money you put down, the higher your chances of gaining creditworthiness in the eyes of the lender.

3) Savings Mechanism

As against putting less money down, a larger down payment helps you save in the long run. The money you save by paying an initial large amount turns out to be helpful for you in the long run. As high down payments are associated with increased credibility, you can negotiate your way into lower interest rates and 우리카지노계열 gain high equity on your car. Kelly Blue Book notes that the average price of a light vehicle was $36,270 in January 2018. It is up by 3.9 percent from last year. As cars are becoming expensive, it is a wise decision to make purchases that pay off in the future. So, low interest rates become cost-efficient. Thus, down payments help you save the money that you can then invest elsewhere.

The Down Payment Decision: The Final Word

Putting money down is considered as a wise decision when you are purchasing a car. While you may have come across “Zero Money Down” offers, you should be aware of your personal finances and the additional costs that are added to the auto loan. Therefore, 우리카지노계열 a down payment serves to be in your best car buying interests as it cushions your financial strength for the coming years.

Down payment is important while making a purchase. But, sometimes, you need to buy a car immediately and cannot wait to save money. Find a bad credit auto financing company who understands your urgency of buying a car and offers you zero money down auto loans . It will help you make a quick car purchase without down payment.

Zero Down Car Insurance Helps You Avoid Paying Large Upfront Deposit

People in need of car but who cannot afford the deposit, can continue driving legally with car insurance zero down payment. However, zero down car insurance turns out to be more expensive in the long run as there is an additional convenience fee that the insurance company adds to the total cost of insurance. But, 우리카지노계열 since the convenience fee is spread over the life along with the cost, it becomes more affordable every month. Paying a little more every month helps most people manage their finances comfortably.

1. See Quotes by Providing Zip Code

When looking for zero down auto insurance, you will need to provide some personal details to get the quotes. These include you name, contact details, the type of car to be insured, your location etc. However, 우리카지노 when you are looking for competitive quotes online, most insurers only need you to enter your zip code.

2. Car Insurance Costs are Determined by Taking into Account a Number of Factors

Remember, car insurance costs depend on a number of factors such as your age, the type of car you drive, the area that you live in, your driving record, the length of time you have been driving, number of miles that you clock in a year, the place you park your car in, and so on. An expensive zero down payment car insurance will attract a higher insurance cost compared with the average car with higher safety measures. Similarly, a driver with greater number of speeding tickets or traffic violations will come across as a risky customer and 우리카지노계열 hence, insurance will come at a higher cost. If the place that you live in is prone to thefts or vandalism, or natural calamities, the insurance costs are higher.

To reduce your car insurance costs, apart from looking for car insurance zero down payment there are certain measures that you can employ. While there are factors that are beyond your control, you can take care to drive responsibly and choose a fairly inexpensive and safe car to drive. In addition, shop around to get competitive quotes from multiple providers. Compare these quotes for costs, coverage, and other terms and conditions. Do not opt for the cheapest option as that may translate into inadequate coverage.

Your provider might be throttling your internet. Here’s how to check

WP Symposium Pro - Extensions Plugin
This demonstration has expired, please purchase a licence or uninstall the WP Symposium Pro Extensions plugin - get a valid licence code here.

id=”article-body” class=”row” section=”article-body”> Tyler Lizenby/CNET There’s little more infuriating than a Netflix show stuttering and 우리카지노계열 stopping right at the climax thanks to bad Wi-Fi. The collective groans, the held breath as loading stalls at 99%, the children crying for Moana to come back: all of these could be avoided if the internet just stayed steady. But alas, steady internet is rarely our reality, and in many areas, internet service provider options are too limited to solve the problem.

What’s worse, with last year’s Supreme Court decision to decline to hear an appeal on net neutrality, ISPs can still throttle your internet, limiting your broadband if you’re streaming more YouTube or Hulu than they want, and providing slower connections to websites owned by their competitors. Luckily, there’s a solution to some of these problems: the virtual private network. Basically, ISPs need to see your IP address to slow down your internet, and a good VPN will shield that identity. Here’s how to find one and use it to check whether your ISP is artificially slowing down your internet.

Step 1

Test your internet health

Screenshot by David Priest/CNET You can measure the health of your internet in a number of ways, but I would suggest starting out with a simple test through M-Lab. This will check your connection speed, essentially gauging whether your ISP is providing consistent performance no matter the content you’re accessing. This measurement isn’t perfect, but it’s a good starting place.

Step 2

Find a reliable VPN

Norton If you’ve done a basic first test on your internet health, and you still think something may be awry with your ISP, start researching VPNs. There are dozens of reasons to get one, and just as many factors to take into account while searching for the best virtual private network, 우리카지노계열 such as security, price and server locations. Luckily, we’ve done that work for you already. Check out our suggestions here: CNET’s picks for best VPNs.

Step 3

Compare your speed with the VPN.

Screenshot by David Priest/CNET Next, test your internet speed somewhere like Fast.com or Speedtest.net. Compare the results to the same test when your VPN is active. The use of any VPN should cut your speed considerably, so the speed tests should show a discrepancy, with the VPN-active speed notably slower than the VPN-inactive speed. But a VPN also hides the IP address that providers use to identify you, so if your speed test with the VPN is faster than without the VPN, that may mean your ISP is targeting your IP address for throttling.

Step 4

Fix your internet

Screenshot by David Priest/CNET OK, this is the hard part. Even if you find out your provider is throttling your internet, there may not be much you can actually do. Many people in the US live in regions with ISP monopolies or duopolies, so you might not be able to find a better provider. But here are a few useful responses:

If you do have options, use the best provider in your area. Measurement Lab provides a good resource for finding info specific to your region, and that can guide you to a more reliable ISP.

Use your VPN to maintain more consistent speeds. A VPN can’t solve a bad connection or other reasons behind your slow service, but it can mitigate throttling from unscrupulous ISPs.

Call your provider and threaten to switch providers if they don’t stop throttling your internet. This might seem old fashioned, and I can’t guarantee lasting results, but providers have responded positively to such tactics when I’ve used them.

Originally published Feb. 8, 우리카지노계열 8:00 a.m. EST.

Correction, Feb. 10: This article previously misattributed last year’s net neutrality ruling to the Supreme Court, rather than the DC Circuit Court that decided the case. The Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal. The article has been corrected.

Update, Feb. 12: A few readers reported issues with one speed testing link, so we have replaced it with another verified test.

Child Development Theories – Down’s Syndrome and Autism

WP Symposium Pro - Extensions Plugin
This demonstration has expired, please purchase a licence or uninstall the WP Symposium Pro Extensions plugin - get a valid licence code here.

id=”mod_37462243″>Child development theory is a demanding and competitive area driven by a need understand the exact nature of the developing child. Traditional medical models of understanding and intervention are in stark contrast to more recent psychological models initiating the debate over which model is of most value and how best to meet the developing needs of your child.

The journey from birth, through infancy and 우리카지노 onto adulthood is by no means a smooth one and can be challenged by many factors. Two such examples are that of Down’s syndrome and autism.

Medical Model | Source Medical Models of Intervention in Child Development

History shows a medical model of understanding and intervention has held dominance in the past. This approach views difficulties experienced by a child to be that of ‘disease’ and should be treated in the same respect.

A clear route of investigation, diagnosis, treatment to cure is employed by fully trained medical professionals with little or no reference to social interactions or circumstance. Moreover, intervention is entirely focussed on the child and treatment given to that child.

Psychological Models of Intervention

The more recent development of a psychological model of intervention is concerned with psychosocial factors such as relationships with parents and siblings and environmental factors such as the circumstances the child is living in.

Intervention follows a more explorative route taking time over assessments and aiming to achieve a favourable ‘outcome’ rather than a ‘cure’. The psychological model is also particularly concerned with intellectual development which is a topical starting point for this debate.

Intellectual Development in Children

The definition of intellectual impairment depends very much upon which approach is used. The medical model approach views this as intelligence that is measured by standardised methods, i.e. IQ tests. Intelligence is assessed and when scores are lower than a certain level or where a diagnosis has been made regarding lower than what is considered ‘normal’ intelligence, intervention is usually activated.

Your child learns as the play and explore the world around them | Source A psychological model defines intellectual ability as what is different from the majority. Overall the level of intelligence that has been labelled ‘normal’ is of crucial significance and is used as a baseline.

Children’s intelligence is generally not measured by standardised means but often children are grouped into categories with others of similar ability. They are then labelled with a term which is considered appropriate by society at that particular time.

Differences in ability such as this has created several explanations. Three in particular were identified by Zigler and Balla (1982);

1) deficit in that a process is missing and clear brain dysfunction is present,

2) delay in that a child’s development is delayed and,

3) difference where a child is operating in different ways to others.

Both the delay and difference models refer to children who have no brain dysfunction but do have some form of intellectual impairment. All three models have recently been applied to the development of children with Down’s syndrome and autism.

Chromosomes | Source Down’s Syndrome

Down’s syndrome is a genetic chromosomal disorder which can be detected prenatally, however identification often occurs shortly after birth where abnormalities can be tested for.

Children who have Down’s syndrome take longer to process visual information than others and also process tactile information differently. A common intervention method at the present time in the UK is that of Portage.

This is a medical model of intervention that focuses solely on the child and uses standardised methods of treatment. Designed in the US, Portage is a method involving a key worker who, using a developmental checklist, works with the child and the carer to set developmental targets over a set period time, including when to work on a particular skill and how to go about it.

This process is repeated with each visit with the aim to encourage development to the standard of a ‘normal’ child on which the checklists are based upon.

Building Blocks in Child Development | Source The Portage method has been praised by parents and carers, however it is difficult to pinpoint whether it actually has any long term benefits for the child.

This kind of intervention follows a traditional route where a difficulty is identified and a treatment is employed.

Other factors such as parenting and social interaction are not considered and not incorporated into the intervention programme. These points highlight the areas in which a medical model of intervention such as Portage may not consider, and areas in which many researchers feel are too significant to ignore.

Alternatives

The criticism of the Portage method is the basis in which the developmental checklists, in which this method relies on, are created. They are centred on the developmental stages and milestones of a ‘normal’ child and may not be the most effective way of improving the development of a child with Down’s syndrome.

Down’s Syndrome Information

Some researchers claim children with Down’s syndrome follow the same path of development as non-Downs syndrome children but their development is delayed (Dunst and Trivette 1990). Whereas others disagree, and believe a delay model cannot explain the many differences in which these children display (Morss, 1985).

Which model is applied to conditions such as Down’s syndrome determines which model of intervention is favoured. Despite disagreements amongst researchers on this issue it is becoming increasingly apparent that a psychological model of intervention may be a more effective method to improve development in such children.

Many researchers such as Wishart (1990) are pushing for an intervention model which is designed specifically to the child and that is in line with the understanding of conditions like Down’s syndrome and how they develop. In particular this involves recognising that such children are developing in different ways rather than having just delayed development.

These more recent opinions are also reflected in other conditions. One such example is that of autism.

Autism

Autism was originally identified by Kanner in 1943 as being a condition of innate causes where children display an inability to relate to or hold relationships with others. It is condition often undetected until early infancy when a child’s behaviour becomes a concern when it does not fit with the ‘norm’.

Autism causes impairments in social, communicative and imaginative functioning and research suggests it has biological origins. This has lead to a medical model of intervention where similarly to Down’s syndrome, intervention is based around a standardised education programme which uses the ‘normal’ development route as a base.

Autism is now recognised as a lifelong condition where behaviour and skills can be improved but autistic behaviours will be present throughout life.

Causes of Autism

The causes of Autism are under great debate centred on the key questions of whether it is a condition caused by environmental factors or by factors from within the child. Consequently, which approach is taken towards the cause will greatly influence the method of intervention undertaken.

Further to Kanner’s early claims, research has suggested Autism is not caused by innate factors but autistic behaviours are in fact symptoms of delayed personality development. Significantly, Kanner himself altered his view in later years and highlighted environmental factors, education and parenting as equally influential in the causes of autism.

Bettelheim (1967) was strongly against innate causes and 우리카지노계열 believed if parenting was erratic and a child was not cared for correctly in infancy they would not develop a mature personality due to a lack of social interactions and begin to show autistic behaviours. Further, he favoured a psychological model of intervention.

Support for a psychological method of intervention can also be seen in the techniques of Niko and Elizabeth Tinbergen in the 1970’s. They suggested an emotional and motivational imbalance in a child may be the cause for autistic behaviour (Chance, 1985). They believed that this in turn causes autistic children to find strong emotions overwhelming, causing them to become withdrawn, often from people and surroundings they are familiar with. They suggested a technique called ‘holding therapy’ designed to strengthen the mother-child bond.

Source Is Autism Genetic?

Morton (1989) suggests autism has a genetic basis. Studies conducted have suggested abnormal brain functioning may be a significant factor.

For example, links have been found between autism, infantile spasms and epilepsy pointing at brain stem and temporal lobe dysfunction. Furthermore, neurochemical studies have shown a difference in the brain functioning of autism suffers in comparison with non autism sufferers.

Variable expressivity has been suggested as a possible factor in autism where a parent or a sibling of an autistic child may have a cognitive impairment, providing further support for a genetic basis.

Early intervention in autism is often centred around management of the behavioural and communication difficulties experienced. Programmes based on operant conditioning are common and are often employed through special schools and education programmes designed for children with conditions such as autism.

Summary

Examples such as Down’s syndrome and autism serve as illustrators to the current theory, research and methods that are in place.

The current debate centres on whether these conditions are due to a delay in development or a complete difference in the way development proceeds. More recent research appears to be pointing towards a difference model rather than a delay model, certainly in the cases of autism and Downs syndrome which has strong implications for intervention.

Overall it can be said that modern research is providing increasing evidence, adding to this debate all the time. Embracing social factors such as parenting and social interactions alongside the child’s personal difficulties may provide a more efficient and positive intervention method which can only be improved upon in time as research grows.

It certainly is a challenging area and everybody wants the best for their child. The parents role is really very important and such a responsibility for any individual. Thank you Stewart for reading and sharing your thoughts!

This is an excellent hub, voted up; and a very challenging area for the medical profession as well as for parents of a child or children with either Downs Syndrome or Autism. Let us all hope that further research can answer some of the questions on the best way to help the children who have these conditions and the parents to better understand that they play a crucial role in a child’s development from the day the are born!

Use all of Apple Maps’ new features that we can’t live without

id=”article-body” class=”row” section=”article-body”> Apple Maps’ new Look Around feature is well done, no doubt. 

Jason Cipriani/CNET Last month, Apple announced it had finished rolling out the Apple Maps redesign it announced alongside iOS 13. The new look and features are years in the making, and 우리카지노 they finally give iPhone and iPad users a worthy Google Maps replacement.

The new features include sharing your ETA with a contact to keep them updated on your location and time of arrival. There’s also a new Apple-made feature called Look Around that’s akin to Google’s Street View. 

Apple Maps isn’t the only major change in iOS 13. There are plenty of new features, including a new swipe keyboard that doesn’t let you swear, that make the upgrade appealing. 

Share ETA is a convenient way to let your friends know when you’ll arrive. 

Jason Cipriani/CNET Share your ETA

This has to be one of the more useful features that Apple has added in recent memory. As of iOS 13.1, you can share your estimated time of arrival with a friend through Apple Maps, iMessage or text when you’re using Apple Maps navigation. Here’s how:

1. Start Apple Maps navigation and get turn-by-turn directions to a location. 

2. When viewing current directions, swipe up on the bottom of the area that displays your arrival time and shows the end button.

3. Tap the Share ETA button. 

4. Select the contact or contacts with whom you want to share it. 

Now playing: Watch this: How to use the new Apple Maps 1:31 After tapping on the Share ETA button, you may notice that some contacts have an Apple Maps icon next to their name, instead of a Messages icon. Those are people also using an iPhone. 

If your iPhone is running iOS 13.1 or newer, and you’re sharing your ETA with someone with an iPhone on iOS 13.1 or newer, then Apple Maps will be used to share your location, route, and ETA. However, if you share your ETA with a non-iPhone user, or someone running iOS 13 or older on their Apple device, then a message will be sent. 

Now playing: Watch this: iOS 13: Cool features you’ll want to try now 1:32 When Apple Maps sends a text or 우리카지노계열 iMessage, it will read something similar to this:

I started sharing my ETA with you in Apple Maps: arriving at Pepsi Center around 10:44 AM. I’ll let you know if I’m running late.

If you hit traffic or take a detour, Apple Maps will send another message letting the person know you’re running behind and 우리카지노계열 the new estimated time of arrival. 

From my testing, the threshold for triggering another alert was if I would be 5 minutes late. So, in the instance above, if my new arrival time was 10:49 a.m., Apple Maps would send another message. 

The added details in the new Apple Maps make a world of difference. 

Apple, Inc. There’s now a more detailed map

Apple has also spent a lot of time scanning streets and roads across the country to produce a more detailed, better-looking map. The new-look started as a slow roll out in the US following the launch of iOS 13 in September. At the end of January, Apple announced the rollout was complete. 

If you haven’t seen the more detailed map yet, open the Maps app and 우리카지노 look at your area. You don’t have to update your app, it’s all done automatically on Apple’s servers.   

Another notable change in Apple Maps is a new feature called Look Around. It’s similar to Google’s Street View, using photos to show you exactly what a location looks like and allowing you to move around the city streets. The only downside is that it’s only available in New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Oahu, Houston and Los Angeles right now. Apple has quickly added more cities to the list (Look Around initially launched with support for only San Francisco) and will continue to add more cities in the future.

Look Around is pretty cool, if live in a city that actually has it. 

Screenshots by Jason Cipriani/CNET How do I use Look Around? 

If you don’t live in one of the supported cities, that’s all right — you can still check out Look Around. Here’s how:

1. Open Apple Maps and zoom in on a city that has Look Around. I picked San Francisco when testing because it’s one of my favorite cities to visit.

2. Zoom in to a specific area, or until you see a pair of binoculars show up in the top-right corner of the map; just below the location icon and the “i” button.

3. Select the binoculars to open Look Around.

A window will pop up, with a familiar Street View-like look. Expand Look Around to full-screen mode by tapping on the double-arrow icon. 

You can swipe around in that window to change the direction of the photo, or tap on the street to move down the block (just like tapping on arrows in Street View). As you move around, 우리카지노계열 you can tap on the name of a business to zoom in on the storefront and view its address, hours, phone number and website — the same stuff you see when searching for a business in Maps.

These features join the already impressive list of additions Apple made to iOS 13. From a new Reminders app, to a new method for deleting apps on your iPhone and iPad ( $363 at Walmart ) — there’s a lot to learn.

id=”article-body” class=”row” section=”article-body”> The bendable screen on the Galaxy Z Flip has lots of possibilities.

Angela Lang/CNET Why stop at one foldable phone when you can have two? Following on last year’s much-anticipated Galaxy Fold, Samsung is back this week with the Galaxy Z Flip, a foldable device that uses a clamshell design similar to the Motorola Razr.

We caught a glimpse of Samsung’s clamshell phone in an ad that ran during the Oscars, but we’ve been hearing about it for a while, 우리카지노계열 sometimes referred to as the Galaxy Bloom. And on Tuesday, at the Samsung Unpacked event, we got official word that Samsung’s clamshell phone is coming this week. Samsung also rolled out at its event in San Francisco three Galaxy S20 phones and its Galaxy Buds Plus earbuds.

The new Galaxy Z Flip joins a tiny but growing collection of foldable phones — including the Galaxy Fold, the Motorola Razr, the Huawei Mate X and the Royole FlexPai — that’s redefining how we use and think about mobile devices. Here’s everything we do and don’t know about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip phone.

All our Samsung Unpacked coverage

What is the Galaxy Z Flip?

Samsung’s second foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Flip has a clamshell design and pops open like the Motorola Razr, instead of spreading out like a book, 우리카지노계열 as the Galaxy Fold does. The compact device expands to a 6.7-inch display using bendable ultrathin glass with a hole-punch camera. When closed, a small cover display shows the time, battery status and notifications. For hands-on details, see our first look at the Galaxy Z Flip.

When can you buy the Galaxy Z Flip?

Along with Mirror Purple, 우리카지노계열 the foldable phone will come in Mirror Black and Mirror Gold.

Angela Lang/CNET If you have your heart set on a foldable phone, then mark Valentine’s Day on your calendar because Samsung said the Galaxy Z Flip will be available in limited quantities this Friday, Feb. 14, in select regions, including in the US and Korea. Unless you live in a major metropolitan area, your best bet for getting a phone this Friday is ordering online instead of walking into a retail store. Here’s how to get Samsung’s clamshell this Friday.

How much does Samsung’s clamshell phone cost?

The 256GB Galaxy Z Flip will go for $1,380 (£1,300 or 우리카지노계열 about AU$2,500), Samsung’s Galaxy Fold is $1,980 and Motorola’s new Razr is $1,500.

Which mobile carriers will have it?

Samsung announced AT&T and Sprint are the two carriers that will have the Galaxy Z Flip at launch. 

Now playing: Watch this: Samsung’s foldable Z Flip gets a limited-edition skin… 1:44

What about Verizon?

Right now, it’s just AT&T and Sprint. Verizon does have an exclusive on the Razr.

Will the Galaxy Z Flip work with 5G networks?

Unlike the Galaxy Fold — which is available in a 5G version — the Galaxy Z Flip is a 4G phone.

How durable will the Galaxy Z Flip be?

Tiny brushes work to keep dust out of the phone.

Samsung We don’t know, and we don’t have a lot of other foldable examples to look to. Early prerelease versions of the Galaxy Fold had some screen problems but a shipping version we tested lasted 120,000 folds — the equivalent to about three years of use — in our durability test last year. A recent similar test with the Motorola Razr was inconclusive. Samsung said you should be able to fold and unfold the Galaxy Z Flip 200,000 times.

To prevent dust and particles from getting into the phone, the hinge of the Galaxy Z Flip will have a layer of fibers that will keep dust from entering.

Will Android apps take advantage of the Z Flip’s foldable screen?

Apps will be able to make good use of the Galaxy Z Flip’s bendable screen.

Galaxy You can turn the phone’s display into a split screen when you bend the phone at an angle, and at its Unpacked Event, Samsung showed YouTube playing video on the upper portion of the Galaxy Z Flip screen, with video comments displayed on the lower part of the screen. It also showed the phone’s Gallery app displaying an image above the fold and editing tools below.

Samsung said it is working with Google to allow YouTube to take advantage of the phone’s split screen in the near future but didn’t name other specific apps that will take advantage of Galaxy Z Flip’s screen.

For more on the Unpacked event, here’s a look at the new Galaxy S20 phones and how the Galaxy Z Flip compares with the Galaxy Fold.
