of galaxy fold 2 news to share with you guys from new specs that provide a huge
upgrade camera configuration details and confirmation that the launch will
be sooner than we thought before we get started though please like the video
if you're looking forward to the galaxy fold 2 and let me know in the comments
if you plan to buy one or not so before we get into the specs we previously had
disappointing news from max weinbach and he stated that the galaxy fold 2 would
be launched later than we thought he tweeted over the weekend to see that the
fold 2 isn't happening at the unpacked event but he wasn't able to give a new
date he did go on to elaborate though and he advised that the software
isn't even close to being ready for a september launch and there are a few
mentions of anything hardware-wise now ross young disagrees with this
and he tweeted good news to fold 2 fans that his source claims it will
be announced at the unpacked event on the 5th of august with the assembly
starting in september and then the device will go on sale in october
then a couple of hours later ice universe tweeted even better news and he
says that it's going to be launched at the unpacked event on the 5th of august
and that the fold 2 will be on sale from the 20th of september in china
now as always it could only be one of them correct or it could be
a mixture of their advice together but thankfully it's not going to be much
longer until we find out next up we've got updated specs for the galaxy fold 2
and these are better than we initially were told the new spec details come
courtesy of et news and then we had some new renders from phone arena
the new report from et news states that the galaxy fold 2 is going to have a 7.7
inch screen when unfolded which is of course bigger than the 7.59 inch
quoted by ross young they advise it's going to implement a y-octave display
which allows the touchscreen circuitry to be directly on the oled panel without
the need for a separate layer and this not only allows for a thinner display
but it also reduces the production cost they state that it's also going
to be using the same ultra thin glass that we find on the galaxy z flip
the report also states that the outer screen on the galaxy fold 2 is going
to be a 6.23 inch display which is a huge upgrade from its predecessors 4.6
they say it's not going to have an in-display fingerprint scanner but it's
instead going to have one mounted on the side the report says that the photo is
going to have two selfie cameras and a triple camera set up on the rear the
selfie cameras will reportedly consist of two 10 megapixel sensors one on the
inside and one on the outside while the rear is going to have a 12 megapixel
wide angle camera a 12 megapixel ultra wide and a 64 megapixel telephoto
there are many rumors that the galaxy fold 2 is going to come with
a 108 megapixel sensor but as i keep saying this is very unlikely to happen
as it's more of a media device than a photography on top of that there's also
been issues with this sensor on the s range the report says that the galaxy
fold 2 is going to have 15 watt fast wireless charging as well as 15 watt
reverse wireless it's going to consist of two separate batteries of 2090
and 2275 milliamp hours and this gives a total capacity of 4 365. the fast
charging firewire is still unknown but it's likely going to be 25 watts
the report also confirms a snapdragon 865 plus with 12 gigs of ram which
was always to be expected now as always we've got nothing to verify this report
but while some seem logical it also seems a little optimistic
as stated ross young disagrees with the display sizes on the report
or the screen size does seem optimistic if they're going to remove
the selfie camera module and use an in-display camera instead then the 7.7
inch display is of course achievable of course with the galaxy fold 2 launching
on the 5th of august it's not going to be long until we find out maybe then
we can look back and see who the most credible source actually was
now ross young also advised that the galaxy fold 2 may be cheaper than its
predecessor and we could be looking at a launch price of around eighteen hundred
dollars so we can only hope for this to be true for anyone that's interested
though we're going to run through the full specs of the galaxy fold 2 in more
detail for my regular viewers you guys have already seen this to skip to the
next video but if you're new here then hit subscribe now and we're going to
get right into it one of the largest rumors currently floating around the
web is that the galaxy photo is going to be the first device from samsung
to have an in-display selfie camera 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 fold 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 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
pattern 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 going to 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 galaxy fold 2 and who do you think is the most accurate about
these leaks 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
