Samsung Flip 2, your presentation companion

Samsung’s Flip 2 aims to revolutionize brainstorming and presentation sessions in meetings around the globe. By trading traditional pen and paper flip charts for their digital counterparts, the electronics giant believes that more can be achieved in the same amount of time. The ultra-smooth touch digital pen and intuitive UI promote efficiency and improved creativity.

The Flip 2 is more than just a big screen. USB, smartphone and wireless connectivity allows for the sharing of media and files almost instantly. This provides a more convenient and efficient way for team members to collaborate during a discussion. The multitude of material that are usually strewn across a conference table can now be neatly arranged across an interactive display panel.

Available in two sizes, namely 55 and 65 inches, each is aimed at varied applications that converge to achieve the same lofty goals. But the 55 inch model sports a hinge assembly and wheels for better mobility and narrow stowage. There’s even space to store notes when the device is not in use.

It’s bigger brother, the 65-inch Flip 2, is better suited to boardrooms where its extra screen real estate and added functionality will see better use. Users can view Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel files as well as PDF ones with the built-in document viewer in either landscape or portrait mode.

Both displays can be shared with devices that are connected to them via Wi-Fi or HDMI. Mind, they are completely independent systems, not mere Samsung displays that are tethered to a PC or smartphone, though NFC is supported. Enabled pen support allows users to annotate presentations, emphasize areas of particular importance, or help convey the intended message to the entire team.

Features like quick finder enable users to find files and settings with relative ease. The vast space offered by both screens provide better viewing of multiple documents or spreadsheets. This makes it ideal for writing and drawing, especially since it was built with pen support in mind. Brush mode and fluid user experience aim to draw artistic types to the platform as well.

Could the Flip 2 actually relegate traditional drawing boards and flip charts to mere footnotes of the pages of tech history? As awe inspiring as this tech may seem, it has big shoes to fill considering that we still don’t know the exact specs and details yet.
