Amid leaks and rumors, Samsung’s new ‘Galaxy Fold 2’ begins taking shape - Yanko Design

Same blueprint. Better cameras.

Well, I certainly take a few reservations on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 based on pretty credible leaks, just I'll become to that after. These leaks come from Ross Immature, the founder of the Display Supply Chain Consultants, who says that the new Samsung Galaxy Fold ii (Samsung has two folding ranges – the Fold and the Bloom) may be the first folding phone to have a 120Hz refresh rate, a characteristic that makes the screen announced smoother and the phone faster. The handset, according to Young, is rumored to be slightly bigger than its predecessor, and to accept a hole-punch photographic camera on both the front brandish as well as the main display, eliminating the massive bezels we saw in the before edition. If these tip-offs are true, the phone will sport a significantly bigger photographic camera bump on the back also, much like the S20 series, and volition be uniform with Samsung'due south S-Pen. Now that we've got the specifications out of the style… let's get to those reservations.

First off, the very presence of leaks indicates that Samsung is working on an edition #ii of the Fold… something that seems natural, simply I wonder if Samsung even sold enough of its previous models to justify giving this upgrade. Another aspect of the Fold 2 worth addressing is the fact that Samsung isn't treating this as a concept. The Fold is pretty much a Samsung flagship, so here's my question. With a camera bump that probably packs 4 lenses and a time-of-flight sensor, and with big screens that boast of 120Hz refresh rates and hole-dial cameras, what volition this rumored telephone toll? And more chiefly, given the current economic freefall we're in, will the price even be worth it? Information technology's hard to rationalize the demand for a fancy folding phone that may cost upwards of $2K, and more than chiefly, may non concluding across a yr given how fragile these phones tend to be. That being said, as a tech nerd, I have to give props to Samsung for working on the tech even through a pandemic. The concept, which I visualized based on these rumors, and a few reference images from Ben Geskin, looks pretty cool, and still packs a fingerprint reader which definitely feels like a good direction given the times nosotros live in… and since we're probably going to be working with a mobile setup more oftentimes now, that folding phone turning into a miniature laptop does seem like a pretty neat USP! And if people seem put off by the tone-deafened price-tag and nobody eventually ends upward buying the Fold 2, at least Roberto Escobar will accept a new model to add to his catalog…
