How The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Revolutionizes The Smartphone


If you're anything like us here at Money Awaits, you've been awed by the last decade's advances in smartphone technology. But at the same time, you occasionally long for your old flip phone. You know the one we mean: that ancient LG with the keyboard. Enter the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

Samsung's latest offering manages to provide the most cutting edge technology, in a form that will remind you of your old phone from 2007. Let's take a look at how they pull it off.

One-of-a-kind features

The first thing you notice, of course, is that this phone is aptly named. It really flips, just like those awesome phones back in the day. Even more impressively, the folks at Samsung have found a way to make a glass screen fold. And not just once or twice, but thousands and thousands of times.

That folding feature also helps to keep the Galaxy Z Flip compact. Phones have been getting larger and larger in recent years, almost like we're compensating for something. But that comes at the expense of convenience. The Z Flip doesn't have this problem. Just fold it up and it fits snugly in your pocket.

This folding action also allows the phone to stand on its own. That means hands-free video calls, and out-of-this-world selfies that otherwise would have gone untaken.

The Z Flip also boasts a pretty powerful camera. It can take long exposure photos, making it ideal for capturing night shots.

Even the cover is special; when the phone is closed, notifications will appear on the outside of the phone!

The Z Flip also features HDR10+ viewing, a steady-cam feature that helps you shoot video in 4K, facial recognition, and a super-wide lens for snapping panoramic pics.

The result is the coolest phone of 2020, hands down.

Concerned woman holding smartphone and credit card

I disputed a real charge I made on my credit card, just to get my money back—can that come back to bite me?

You figured out a little trick—and it worked. The money came back, no questions asked. It felt surprisingly easy, almost like you found a loophole. But now you’re starting to wonder…was it actually that simple, or did you just set something in motion you can’t undo?

AI-generated image of a woman concerned about her home addition and HOA.

I got all the city permits for a home addition, but my HOA says it violates community guidelines and wants me to undo it. Can they really do that?

You pulled the proper permits, got approvals from the city, and completed your home addition thinking you were in the clear. Then your HOA steps in and says the project violates community rules and needs to be undone. So how can both things be true at the same time?

AI-generated image of a man concerned about his VA disability rating.

The VA approved my claim but gave me a low disability rating, even though my condition affects my daily life. What can I do to challenge this?

Getting your VA claim approved should feel like a win. You went through the paperwork, the exams, and the waiting, and finally got a decision. But then you see the rating, and it doesn’t reflect what you’re actually dealing with day to day, not even close. That’s when a lot of veterans start asking the same question: can you actually challenge the rating, or are you stuck with it?
