Leaked Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G ad shows the device in action
Samsung hasn't fully unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G yet. The device will be formally launched on September 1 and pre-orders will begin the same day. The company did announce a few details during the recent Unpacked event, and pretty much everything else is already known, thanks to a whirlwind of leaks. The phone's commercial has now surfaced and it further confirms what we already know about Samsung's flagship foldable device.
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G's internal screen comes in at 7.6-inches, up from 7.3-inches on its predecessor, and it features an Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) for improved durability. The display boasts a 120Hz refresh rate and it probably changes dynamically, just like on the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, made possible by the use of LTPO backplane technology.
The Z Fold 2 also features Z Flip's Flex Mode that will allow it to stay open at various angles.
Samsung is also touting this as a productivity-centric device, which becomes increasingly important at a time when the Microsoft Surface Duo has arrived. The company says it will let you work across three apps simultaneously.
Like the new Note 20 phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 also provides Wireless DeX, allowing you to connect the device to an external display wirelessly without needing accessories like DeX Pad or USB cable.
Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G alleged specs
The cover display is now 6.2-inches, a notable upgrade when compared to the OG Fold's 4.6-inch front screen. The external display apparently sticks to a 60Hz refresh rate, which is understandable.
The phone reportedly packs a 4,500mAh battery and it is powered by the Snapdragon 865 Plus which is mated with 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 256 GB storage.
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G will be available in the colors black and bronze and its price will be announced next month. Per a recent report, it will go on sale on September 18.
