Z Flip marks the company’s second attempt at launching a folding phone, following last year’s error-strewn launch of its Galaxy Fold device, which was the first folding phone from a major manufacturer, but which saw repeated delays due to production issues, and had a high price tag that put off consumers, as stated by Telegraph.
