Posted: 20 Jan 2020 05:01 AM PST

We came across a new leak that shows a promo poster for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z foldable phone, depicting dual-hinge design that allows it to unfold in a Z-shaped manner. However, it's unlikely that it's based on the design and it's far more probable that we are looking at a stylized promo image for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip which will employ a clamshell design and is expected to arrive alongside the S20 series on February 11. We don't have much else to work with apart from the poster itself. We can see the dual-fold mechanism accompanied by the glowing foldable screen. From the...
