Samsung has already teased their new Galaxy Fold 2 smartphone and now it looks like we have some live images of the device.
This new folding smartphone is different from the existing Galaxy Fold as the handset will fold vertically like the new Motorola Razr. This vertical folding mechanism is expected to make the device more compact and pocket-friendly, addressing one of the main concerns users had with the original Galaxy Fold.
The photos were posted on Twitter by Ice Universe and they give us a look at the design of the new Galaxy Fold 2 handset. The images reveal a sleek and modern design, with a possible smaller outer display compared to its predecessor. This could indicate that Samsung is focusing on making the device more durable and user-friendly.
Expected Features and Specifications
As yet there are no official details on what specifications the device will come with, but there are several rumors circulating. It is speculated that the Galaxy Fold 2 will feature the latest Snapdragon processor, possibly the Snapdragon 865, which would provide significant performance improvements. Additionally, the device is expected to come with at least 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, ensuring it can handle multitasking and storage needs efficiently.
The camera setup is another area of interest. While the original Galaxy Fold had a total of six cameras, the Fold 2 might streamline this to focus on quality over quantity. Rumors suggest a triple-camera setup on the back, featuring a primary sensor, an ultra-wide lens, and a telephoto lens. The front camera is expected to be housed in a punch-hole design, similar to the Galaxy S20 series.
Launch and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 may appear at CES 2020 in January, or we may have to wait until Mobile World Congress in February to see the device. CES and MWC are two of the biggest tech events of the year, and Samsung has a history of unveiling its latest innovations at these shows. If the Fold 2 is showcased at CES, it would set the stage for a strong start to the year for Samsung.
There is also speculation about the pricing of the Galaxy Fold 2. Given that Samsung has hinted at a price point of less than $1000, this would make the Fold 2 significantly more affordable than its predecessor, which launched at nearly $2000. This price reduction could make foldable technology more accessible to a broader audience, potentially driving higher adoption rates.
The foldable smartphone market is still in its early stages, but with devices like the Galaxy Fold 2, it is clear that manufacturers are committed to refining and improving the technology. As soon as we get some more details, we will let you guys know. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new device.
