		</div><p>Samsung has confirmed its next foldable smartphone in a surprise TV advert, two days before the device was expected to be officially unveiled.</p>
<p>Broadcast in the United States during the Oscars on Sunday night, the advert showed the new device, which opens and closes vertically much like a flip mobile phone from the 1990s.</p>
<p><!--Ads1--></p>
<p>Although the foldable was not named in the ad, it is widely expected to be called the Galaxy Z Flip, and be announced alongside new flagship smartphones in the firm’s Galaxy S phone range.</p>
<p>The Korean smartphone giant had been expected to formally reveal the new foldable during a live media event in the United States on Tuesday night.</p>
<p>The advert showed the phone in two different colours, purple and black, and a small display on the outside of the phone used for alerts when the device is closed.</p>
<p>However, few other details were disclosed.</p>
<p><!--Ads2--></p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Flip will be Samsung’s second foldable smartphone, following the launch of the Galaxy Fold last year.</p>
<p>That device was made up of two screens; one of the front of the device like a traditional smartphone and another larger, folding screen which opened out from inside the device.</p>
<p>The Fold’s launch was affected by screen issues, with Samsung forced to delay its release from May to September after early testers reported flaws in the foldable screen.</p>
<p>Some viewers noted that the advert for the Galaxy Z Flip included a notice which read “You may notice a small crease in the centre of the main screen, which is a natural characteristic of the screen”.</p>
