The Samsung Unpacked event is scheduled for August 5. The highlight of the launch is going to be the Galaxy Note20 series but Samsung is expected to launch other items. Previous reports have said the Galaxy Z Fold 2 will also launch on that day but a new leak says that won’t be the case.
According to Max Weinbach (@MaxWinebach), the Galaxy Z Fold 2 will not launch at Galaxy Unpacked on August 5. In replies to the tweet, he revealed that the software is not close to being ready for launch.
This is absolutely no surprise. The software isn't even close to ready for a September launch and there is very few mentions of anything hardware wise. It's likely been delayed a bunch and that's why.

I looked into it a bit more. Galaxy Store only shows user testing for the Note 20 and Flip 5G. I do see carrier testing for the Fold 2, which looks like it just got put in. There's no way they can have it announced with 0 information about it.

He also added that the possible launch date might be September or even October. At the moment, the phone is said to be under carrier testing. So we should not expect a launch until the device passes carrier testing.
To clarify, I'm 60% sure they won't even talk about it at the event but I'm 100% sure they won't release it. https://t.co/5FUixTLqu9

In a quoted tweet, he adds that he is 60% sure it may not even be mentioned at all.
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 is the successor of the Galaxy Fold that was announced last year. The device will keep the folding design of its predecessor but come with changes in its appearance. For example, it will feature a larger outer display and the main foldable display is expected to have a punch hole for the selfie camera.
Other reported specifications are a 4500mAh battery, a 120Hz refresh rate, a Snapdragon 865 Plus processor, and up to 512GB of storage.
UP NEXT: Samsung Galaxy Tab S7, S7+ and Galaxy Watch 3 may launch on July 22
