Next Samsung Unpacked Event Set For September 1, Galaxy Z Fold 2 Coming To Light

Earlier this month, Samsung hosted a virtual Unpacked event where it announced a batch of new smartphones. But the Korean giant retained some important details, including information about its next premium foldable phone.

However, everything will come into light in the next Unpacked event on September 1. It remains unclear whether the event will be pre-recorded or live, but it will surely focus on the next premium foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 2. In the previous event, the phone maker announced the successor to the Galaxy Fold last year and showed off a refreshed design for the upcoming handset. Other than that, Samsung didn’t say much about the specifications or the release date.

Right now, the biggest question about the phone is pricing because the original Galaxy Fold, priced at nearly $2000, was too expensive. The phone was such a big risk and a costly phone that it put off most people except for the most extreme enthusiasts.

Samsung did release a cheaper foldable phone dubbed Galaxy Z Flip at $1400 but it was still much more expensive than a typical smartphone on the market.

At the next event, alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 2, Samsung may also reveal the price and launch date of the Galaxy Tab S7.

So far, we have learned a few things about the Z Fold 2. First of all, it will have a new hinge that can help the phone stay open at different angles like the Z Flip. The hinge may also be more resilient and more resistant to dust and debris.

The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 2 will use ultra-thin glass for the screen, which was also used on the Z Flip. This means the screen will be more durable and more enjoyable to use. The body of the phone will also be thinner, only 6 millimeters, coming in Mystic Bronze or Mystic Black color.
