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.

My bank closed my account without warning and froze my money. What can I do?

There are few financial surprises worse than logging into your account and realizing… it’s gone. No warning, no explanation—just locked access and frozen money. It feels dramatic, but it happens more often than people think, and usually for reasons that aren’t obvious at first glance. The good news is you’re not completely powerless here—you just need to know how to respond.

My job changed me from salaried to hourly without notice. Is that even legal?

One day you’re salaried, feeling relatively stable, and the next you’re clocking in like it’s your first job out of high school. It’s the kind of workplace curveball that leaves people wondering if their employer crossed a line—or if this is somehow allowed. The answer isn’t a simple yes or no, but there are clear boundaries employers are expected to follow.
