Karamchand Rameshwar - Aug 06, 2020

The new-gen Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 comes with massive upgrades in multiple departments like design, performance, display, and cameras.

In addition to the Samsung Galaxy Note20 and Note20 Ultra duo introduced on the evening of August 5, Samsung also unveiled the second generation of the Galaxy Fold series with a new name: Galaxy Z Fold2. The new version brings significant improvements in design, display, camera, and performance.

The Galaxy Z Fold2 now has a larger screen, covering almost half of the device's external wedge. This screen has a size of 6.2 inches, 2,260 x 816 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, while the main screen inside has also been upgraded to 7.6 inches in size, 2208 x 1,768 resolution, and has a 120Hz refresh rate. Both displays use flexible OLED panels and the same Infinity-O design. And like the Galaxy Z Flip, the Galaxy Z Fold2's display will feature ultra-thin glass (UTG) technology that will greatly improve the durability of the screen.

One of the significant improvements on the Galaxy Z Fold2 is the hinge area of the device. Now, with the new hinge design, Galaxy Z Fold2 will be able to be used in flexible opening angles instead of just "opening" and "closing in" as the previous generation Galaxy Fold.

In terms of performance, Galaxy Z Fold2 will be equipped with the most powerful Snapdragon 865+ 5G chip, 12GB RAM, 256GB storage. The camera setup includes a 12MP f / 1.8 main camera, a 12MP f / 2.2 ultra-wide-angle camera, a 12MP f / 2.4 telephoto camera as well as a 10MP f / 2.2 selfie camera on the front and a 10MP f / 2.2 selfie camera on the inside . The Galaxy Z Fold2 battery has a capacity of 4,500mAh and it supports 25W fast charging and 11W wireless charging. There is a fingerprint sensor on the side similar to its predecessor for biometrics security.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 Back — The Galaxy Z Fold2 has a total of five cameras.

This year's Galaxy Z Fold2 comes in two color options: Mystic Black and Mystic Bronze. Information about this foldable smartphone has not been revealed by Samsung much at this Unpacked event. Samsung said the company will host a new event exclusively for the Galaxy Z Fold2 on September 1. This is also the time when the user can begin to pre-order the device.

In addition, this year's Galaxy Z Fold2 will also have a Thom Browne version, in collaboration with the American designer to launch a Thom Browne fashion-focused edition with a similar design similar to the previous Galaxy Z Flip.
