"Consumers can't wait to experience 5G and we are proud to offer a smartphone that brings ultra-fast speeds together with the power and performance," said Osman Albora, head of Mobile Division at Samsung Gulf Electronics. "The ultimate expression tool, Galaxy S20 Series has removed the limitations of resolution so users can experience crystal clear visuals with stunning resolution in a device which is out of this world."
Samsung unveiled the devices at an event in San Francisco on Tuesday with a brand-new camera architecture that combines AI with Samsung's largest image sensor yet for stunning image quality. The new series features Space Zoom, which allows users to zoom in up to 100x and capture the world in perfect clarity during any situation and at any time. The Galaxy S20 also offers 8K video shooting, as well as Super Steady - its anti-rolling stabilisation and AI motion analysis.
Samsung, on Wednesday, also announced that the new, foldable smartphone Galaxy Z Flip is now available for pre-orders on February 12 and February 13, 2020 from major retailers and Samsung brand stores, as well as online on the Samsung website.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip with 256GB will be available for pre-order starting at the price of Dh5,499. UAE customers who pre-order on the Samsung website on February 12 and February 13 will receive their device on February 14. Engineered with first-of-its-kind foldable glass, Galaxy Z Flip features a 6.7-inch display that folds into a compact form factor that fits in the palm of your hand. Designed with an innovative Hideaway Hinge and custom-built UX, Galaxy Z Flip provides elegant new ways to capture, share and experience content. The Galaxy Z Flip's unique usability extends to its camera, where users can capture picture-perfect shots, without the need for a tripod.
Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Flip alongside the new S20 Series on Tuesday in a move to combat its rivals in the premium smartphone market. Both Apple Inc, along with Huawei, have eaten into the manufacturer's sales in China and Europe. Experts at the world's largest smartphone manufacturer have pinned their hopes on 5G handsets to revive demand, especially as key international rival Apple has yet to release a 5G iPhone. Shares of Samsung, which generated 34 per cent of its profit last year from the mobile business and half from its chip business, rose 0.2 per cent in a flat wider market.
