AWeibo user has leaked the alleged renders of Samsung’s upcoming foldable phone – Galaxy Z Fold 2. Yes, the render reiterates the rumor that claimed Samsung would adopt Z branding to launch the next-gen Galaxy Fold as Galaxy Z Fold 2.
After initially surfacing on Weibo, credible tipster Ice Universe reshared the leaked image on Twitter. The leakster initially shared an extremely blurry image, followed by a better version after a few hours.
The most noticeable aspect of the leaked image has to be the cameras. Going by the image, theGalaxy Z Fold 2’s camera setup would resemble the oneexpected on the Galaxy Note 20. Unfortunately, the exact set of sensors is not entirely visible on the render.
Apart from that, the render hints at a larger cover display. The foldable phone is likely to feature a 6.23-inch display with 2267 x 819 pixel resolution and 60Hz refresh rate. This would be a significant improvement when compared to the 4.6-inch display seen on the originalGalaxy Fold.
Another clear trend is in terms of color. Just likeGalaxy Note 20,Galaxy Watch 3, andGalaxy Buds Live,Samsung will unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 2 in a Mystic Bronze color variant. There’s no information about other color variants.
Samsung’s first attempt at the Galaxy Fold didn’t quite live up to the expectations because of durability issues. Several reviewers noticed thedisplay breaking easily, which led the company topostpone the launch. The reworked version of theGalaxy Fold didn’t survive well either.
Debunking allprevious rumors, Samsung recently confirmed its plans to unveil theGalaxy Z Fold 2 alongside Galaxy Note 20at itsUnpacked eventon August 5. We will be learning more details at the event, and hence, stay tuned for updates.
