The Galaxy Z Flip meanwhile is Samsung's latest addition to the folding phone market after the Samsung Galaxy Fold, which was released in September last year.

The compact 6.7-inch flip phone features Samsung's Foldable UX that splits the screen when it's in flip mode.

The phone has three cameras, and one of them is a 10-megapixel mini selfie camera you can use when the phone is closed.

Prices for the S20 series phones start at Rp 13 million ($916) for the Galaxy S20 and go up to Rp 14.5 million for the Galaxy S20+ and Rp 18.5 million for the Galaxy S20 Ultra. The Galaxy Z Flip is Rp 21.8 million.

All phones will be available at Samsung stores starting from Friday.
