So this week we've got plenty of news about the samsung galaxy fold 2 not only
have samsung confirmed it's coming but we've got beautiful renders appearing
camera configurations leaked along with information of the color variants
display other hardware and even the price. Before we get started please
like the video if you're looking forward to the samsung galaxy fold 2 and let
me know in the comments why, if you're looking forward to something else then
let me know in the comments as well. In an official statement samsung have
addressed the current outbreak and also told us about their upcoming smartphones
the statement says although we have current uncertainties for the second
half of the year samsung are going to continue to offer differentiated
products in the premium segment with the launch of the new foldable phone
and the note models so great news that we know that the galaxy fold 2 is coming
and there may not even be delays despite the recent outbreak one thing we do need
to cover today are of course the concept videos when it comes to a
device like the galaxy fold 2 we'll get a lot of great looking concept videos
but unfortunately they're not all based on leaks and reports and some are simply
just concepts a lot of people have been talking about the galaxy fold 2 renders
from one of my favorite creators tech configurations the video shows off a
very futuristic galaxy fold 2 it's slim curved and flat and pretty much looks
like a folding phone from the future the design showcased in this video shows off
a rotating camera system along with a triple display but unfortunately it's
not what we're going to be seeing from the galaxy fold 2. it's simply
a design that tech configurations has imagined and then gone ahead and created
when it comes to actual leaks however we're not sure for the galaxy fold 2
first up we've had the color variants leaked from a south korean publication
that tell us we'll at least be getting the same colors as last time along with
a martian green and a new astro blue the availability of these new galaxy
vol 2 colors will be dependent on market so unfortunately they're not going to be
available for everyone next up we got the specs of the samsung galaxy fold 2
thanks to ross young on twitter he advises that while the galaxy fold
2 is codenamed project champ it's also referred to internally as project winner
2. he states that the samsung galaxy fold 2 is going to have a 7.59 inch
display at a resolution of 22.13 by 1689 and this gives us 372 pixels per inch
he also advises that the samsung galaxy fold 2 is going to be coming with a 120
hertz display and the galaxy fold 2 is reportedly going to have a punch
hole camera on both the inner and outer display and it's going to be
available in a choice of 4g or 5g now to be honest with you guys i've never
heard of ross young but according to his twitter he's the ceo of display supply
chain consultants and the founder of display search there are a lot of tech
blogs quoting him currently but i'm still remaining very skeptical of his
information his most recent tweet claims that the galaxy fall 2 is going to come
with an s pen and be priced between 1 780 and 1 980. i just don't see it
having an s pen due to the flexible oled display not being durable enough
of course time will tell and i'll admit i was wrong if this happens but i'm
pretty certain we're not going to see the s pen this time when it comes to
the camera configurations report state will be getting a triple camera setup
on the rear of the galaxy fold 2. it's said to be coming with a 12 megapixel
primary sensor a 64 megapixel telephoto and a 16 megapixel ultra wide the report
also states that the phone is to have two camera sensors on the front side
but one will be placed inside a notch and the other on the foldable screen
so that directly contradicts ross young who stated a punch hole on both displays
many rumors are now suggesting that the launch event is going to be held
in august and that the galaxy fold 2 will be launching alongside the note
but we still have no confirmation from samsung of course as soon as we do get
anything i'll be letting you guys know straight away one of the largest rumors
currently floating around the web is that the galaxy photo is going to be
the first device with an in-display fingerprint scanner well this would
actually make sense given that it is a luxury device with a very high price
tag it appears it's just not going to happen yet credible leaker ice universe
has already advised on twitter that samsung is considering this technology
for debut in the s21 he advises that samsung are currently evaluating its
feasibility for the s21 so there's just no way it's going to be ready in time
for the galaxy fold 2. the outer design of the galaxy fault 2 is also reported
to be very similar to its predecessor but with a larger external display
although the whole industry has been experiencing delays due to the current
outbreak we're still expecting mass production to begin mid-may and
commercial units should be ready by june many are speculating that the samsung
galaxy fold 2 is going to be releasing alongside the note 20 in august so
it's not too much longer until we find out we've had plenty of other concepts
for the device from people such as on leaks and concept creator and they all
look incredible the future of folding phones is looking very promising and
the galaxy fold 2 is going to be in a similar form factor as the original fold
but it's going to be even more premium a pattern was previously filed by samsung
and it reveals a foldable device with a slightly different form factor than
the original fold it's more of a galaxy tab with a folding form factor and with
this design we get a much larger display and a better aspect ratio for both media
and gaming the pattern also reveals a full screen display when unfolded
so this is where the rumors of the in-display camera originally came from
of course while in-display cameras do seem very unlikely at this time
it's not impossible and nothing's been confirmed just yet
the early leaks came from a south korean publication who advised the
whole design of the galaxy fold 2 what was aimed at having a tablet but with
portability it's reportedly going to be designed to fit comfortably in pockets
but still provide a large enough display the galaxy fold 2 can supposedly be used
in the form of a mini laptop by resting the bottom on the surface and folding
up the top and we then have a display on top with a keyboard on the bottom
previous reports were also stating that samsung was switching to using
ultra thin glass instead of the transparent polymide we were used to
in this glass it was said to be capable of using an s pen now this is where the
confusion originally came from as these reports were published prior to the
launch of the zed flip so we had less information about ultra thin glass we
now know that in its current form it's not able to support an s pen so i advise
it to disregard these rumors when it comes to the hardware and specification
we of course will get the 512 gigs of internal storage and this will
of course be ufs3 we expect this to be coupled with 16 gigs of ram and it's of
course going to use the new snapdragon 865 we'll likely get some decent cameras
but media is going to be the main target audience rather than photography
a device that folds out into a large tablet is great for watching media
gaming or even doing some editing but having a large device is not the best
choice for a portable camera the patent doesn't confirm that this is the galaxy
fold 2 or that this is ever going to make it to market but it does seem a
very sensible design that could take off if it does we know that despite their
initial issues samsung are continuing to push their foldable devices we've
already had the launch of the new w20 as well as the samsung galaxy zed flip
with each release they're improving the issues they face and they're becoming
much more durable products unfortunately being a luxury product it also means it
is gonna come with a luxury price tag although the price of the new
galaxy fold 2 is still very much unknown with the launch expected
to be july or august it's not going to be long until we do get some information
and as always i'll be sharing it with you guys as it comes in but i'd like to
know your thoughts in the comments who out there is waiting for the samsung
galaxy fold 2 and more importantly who thinks it will be coming with an s pen
but thanks for watching the video if you liked it smash a thumbs up
if you didn't hit the thumbs down twice and i'll see you guys in the next one
you
