Samsung took the wraps off the long-rumored Galaxy Z Fold 2, alongside the Galaxy Note 20 lineup at the August 5 Galaxy Unpacked event. However, it appears like one event wasn’t enough for the Korean giant to detail its second-gen foldable. Samsung has announced today an ‘Unpacked: Part 2’ event for 1st September. It will properly detail the new hardware and software features of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 at this event.
Galaxy Z Fold 2 fixes all of the shortcomings of the original foldable. It features bigger displays with punch-hole cameras on the inside and outside. You do not have massive bezels on the outside or a strange lip on the inside. Galaxy Z Fold 2 sports a 7.6-inch QXGA+ (2208 x 1768) flexible AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate on the inside and a bezel-less 6.2-inch Full-HD+ (2260 x 816) Super AMOLED display on the outside.
Galaxy Z Fold 2 appears to boast the same triple camera array on the outside as the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. You will also find a 10MP selfie camera each on the inside and outside, which is handy for use in any state. The device is said to be powered by the Snapdragon 865+ chipset, coupled with 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 3.1 built-in storage. There’s said to be a dual-cell 4,500Ah battery with 25W fast-charging onboard as well.
Just moments after Samsung announced the Galaxy Z Fold 2 event, the company’s own UK website leaked the official price of the foldable smartphone. First reported by XDA Developers’ Max Weinbach, Galaxy Z Fold 2 has been priced at £1,799 (around Rs. 1,75,599) and will start shipping by 17th September.
