Rumours have been rife about Samsung‘s next-generation Galaxy Fold model. The Galaxy Fold 2 is expected to be launched around August 2020. It is already over a year since the company unveiled the first-gen Fold but the tech giant kept fans busy with an impressive Galaxy Z Flip foldable model which was unveiled in February this year.
The company has now reportedly commenced mass production of the Galaxy Fold 2 smartphone parts through major partners. Based on recent report details about Galaxy Fold 2 is expected as early as June. The company will use UTG (ultra-thin glass) used in the Galaxy Z Flip in the Fold 2. UTG is considered to be superior to CPI (transparent polyimide) present in Galaxy Fold.
The Galaxy Fold 2 is rumoured to house a larger outer Dynamic AMOLED LTPS display of 6.23 inches. The 60Hz panel that will also feature a punch-hole cutout is said to support 819 x 2267 pixels. In comparison, the original Galaxy Fold has a 4.6-inch outer screen and an inner flexible display of 7.3 inches. The outer display of Fold 2 may have the punch-hole at the top-centre position. The phone will be available in 4G and 5G variants, both powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 SoC.
There are rumours that the Fold 2 will be unveiled alongside the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Note 20+ at its Unpacked event sometime in August.
