Discover some reasons to buy a foldable cell phone right now. They have many advantages!
Foldable phones have been around for at least five years, but it’s only now that we can say that it’s a mature concept. New display and hinge technologies, along with more features, make phones in this category a good choice for those looking for a premium, stand-out phone.
The sector is still dominated in Brazil by South Korean Samsung, which manufactures two types of foldable devices: “folds,” larger devices that open like a book, and “flips,” which fold vertically and are very compact. The brand’s latest product lines were launched in July of this year: Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Galaxy Z Fold 5. If you’re thinking about buying a new cell phone, discover 5 reasons to get a foldable in 2023.
They fit comfortably in your pocket
First, a flip phone when folded is so small that you can easily fit it in your jeans pocket, fanny pack, party bag, and more. Plus, with more options on the market, they’re also becoming more accessible to more people.
The biggest discount at the moment belongs to the version Galaxy Flip 4, to be launched in 2022. The cell phone can be found cheaper in retail, for half the original price.
Better quality selfies
For those who like taking selfies, this is another advantage for the foldable screen, which allows you to take photos with the best set of cameras a device can offer. Think of the lenses that appear at the front when closed on the “flip” model.
When you take a photo of someone, this external screen will also act as a mirror so that they can see what the photo looks like and position themselves better. When the phone is folded into an L shape, you can place it on a surface, which serves as a support when you want to appear further away in the photo. It is also useful for making video calls without having to hold the phone.
Do many things without opening your cell phone
With the external screen of a foldable device (Flip and Fold), you can do more without having to open the device. This makes interactions faster and you don't even have to force the screen and hinge by opening and closing the phone several times a day. Of course, this is not a problem, as Samsung guarantees a lifespan of at least 200,000 openings on the models. But this is a point that makes usability much better.
These can be computers, tablets and televisions.
The Z Folds are aimed at those who want a really big screen: when unfolded, they measure 13cm x 15.5cm, like a small tablet. The target audience includes people who work on their phones and/or use multiple programs at the same time: you can distribute them across the screen space and easily switch from one program to another, it works almost like a laptop or tablet. People who use their phones as their main source of entertainment will also benefit. Watching movies and playing games on a screen of this size will improve the audiovisual experience.
They are thinner
In this year's models, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5, Samsung has finally eliminated something that bothered some users: the small gap left when the phone is folded. They now close completely along the entire length of the screen.
This means that foldable devices are thinner than ever before, meaning there is no risk of dust, water or other debris accumulating in this space.
