Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 has been launched, and is available for preorders starting today. It is priced at $1,999 (about Rs 1.46 lakh), and Samsung says that the smartphone will be available in 40 countries from September 18. The second event for the phone was a bit perplexing, after Samsung showcased the device but left key details missing during August’s Galaxy Unpacked 2020. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is the third smartphone from Samsung with a foldable display after the first generation Galaxy Fold and the follow up with the Galaxy Z Flip. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 features a similar design as the Galaxy Fold, but Samsung claims that this has a far sturdier and more durable hinge, and on overall terms, it makes for a better overall smartphone.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is a flagship smartphone, so naturally, it runs on either the Samsung Exynos 990, or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 chipsets. It has bigger displays now – 6.2 inches on the outside and 7.6 inches (foldable) on the inside, with the foldable panel supporting 120Hz fast refresh rates. Outside, on the back, it also has a triple rear camera with three 12-megapixel cameras for wide, ultra-wide and telephoto units. You can flip the back around and turn it into a front camera as well, even though the outer 6.2-inch display has its own punch-hole selfie camera. It gets a second punch-hole selfie camera on the foldable panel as well, and both the punch hole cameras use 10-megapixel sensors.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 features 12GB RAM and 256GB or 512GB internal storage. Somehow, the battery size is only 4,500mAh. Given that it has two massive displays to power, we are not sure if the battery life on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 would be great. More India specific details are awaited as of now. If you wish to splurge more, Samsung also has a Thom Browne limited edition ensemble that includes the Galaxy Watch 3 and the Galaxy Buds Live. You can pay $3,299 (about Rs 2.4 lakh) for it. Samsung, however, only wants you to focus on its UI tweaks, including better window resizing, Dual Preview to use both displays together, Flex Mode for handsfree usage and a custom camera interface.
The price is only secondary.
