The first rumors about Galaxy Fold 2: bigger screen, cheaper price, hidden camera under the screen

The beginning of foldable smartphones in general and the Galaxy Fold in particular has met many obstacles. But not so that Samsung wants to stop, when recently many rumors about the successor of Galaxy Fold 2 have been shared online. According to SamMobile , Fold 2 will have a smaller memory version of 256GB along with the current 512GB version to reduce the price, more accessible to users.

There is still much debate about the design of this product. Last year, Bloomberg reported that Samsung had developed three foldable smartphone models, including a folding smartphone (Galaxy Fold) and a smaller screen (later became Galaxy Z). Flip) and another device with a large screen that folds out like Huawei Mate X – and this will become Galaxy Fold 2.

But the site has now dismissed the old rumor, saying it would continue to use the design of the first Galaxy Fold, but with a smaller cut. This screen will be made larger, from 7.7 to 8 inches compared to 7.3 inches of the first version, most likely to use the S Pen stylus like the Note series.

XDA-Developers said that it will not even use cuts on the screen, but will try to put the selfie camera under the screen similar to the prototypes of OPPO and Xiaomi. This technology has not yet been put into practice, although it has appeared in some sample devices. As for the rear camera, Fold 2 will reuse the system of the S20 Plus including the 64MP telephoto camera.

But for users, the most important rumor is about durability. The first Galaxy Fold, after being launched for the first time, was immediately recalled because many users experienced screen damage due to dust falling. The company had to add a small piece of plastic, but there is still the problem of scratches during daily use because this is still the plastic layer.

With Z Flip, the company has also solved the problem by equipping ultra-thin glass, but the durability is still not equal to ordinary glass. It is still unclear what else the company could do to increase the durability of the screen because no page has made its predictions.

Finally on the launch date: in the situation of the disease has not subsided, users will have to wait until Q2 or 3 years to see this product. SamMobile said that Samsung will launch Fold 2 always at the Galaxy Note event that usually takes place in August.
