When unfolded, it unfurls into a 6.7-inch screen.

When it's bent backwards, one side of the Flex In & Out Flip is shorter than the other. This stops it from covering the camera.

Unlike Samsung's Z Flip series, there's no cover screen on the outside of the the In & Out Flip. Instead, it's a panel of glass.

It seems Samsung's envisioning ways to use flip phones without a cover screen.

Since the screen can bend backwards, you'd presumably view your notifications and other items on the screen itself.
