we've had some incredible news about the Samsung Galaxy fold 2 and I'll be
sharing all the details right after this
if you're new here and want to stay up to date with the latest tech please hit
subscribe followed by the bell so we've had many publications telling us about
the upcoming Galaxy fold 2 and its new clamshell design that's coming I
previously said in my videos that that I don't think this will actually be the
Galaxy fold 2 and it turns out I was correct
Samsung have been at CES this week and held a few private meetings at where
they've showcased new products earlier today they held a private meeting for
what many thought was the galaxy fold 2 but it's now been confirmed to be called
at the galaxy bloom Samsung's CEO DJ kho confirmed in this meeting that the
clamshell foldable phone is the upcoming galaxy bloom and another image has been
leaked showing us at the same information
DJ koh firmed that that the design was inspired by a cosmetics brand at Lancome
compacts which seems very strange to me but they're apparently aiming this in
the female audience in their twenties from this private meeting we also have
confirmation that instead of the transparent polymide plastic protective
film that they used in the original fold they're now using ultra thin glass to
protect the galaxy bloom it's also expected to be the first smartphone to
arrive with 8k video recording meaning we should see this before the galaxy s
20 a previous report emerged last week letting us know that the clamshell
folding phone was coming earlier than we thought
and it was actually going to be launched before the galaxy s11 or galaxy s20 as
we now know it's gonna be called this is no doubt thanks to other brands like
Huawei and Motorola being set to release similar models earlier on in the year
now Samsung unknown out rushing theirs to market
Samsung Electronics refused to comment on the release schedule of the new
folding phone but a source claims we'll be seeing it in February 2020 but still
before the launch of the s20 we also have news that the device is going to be
cheaper than the original Galaxy fold well not much has been known about the
galaxy blue more information has been coming forward we now have a good idea
of what to expect the device is reportedly going to have a six point
seven inch screen when unfolded it'd be more of a square shape in its
folded position what we previously only had renders to
go on a Weibo user has posted live photos of the galaxy bloom we've had
five photos in total I'm on not in the best quality we can see a lot about the
design the first photo shows us the tool aspect ratio of the device we can see a
pretty much full screen display thanks to the punch hole selfie camera top
center next up we've got photos showing us that the fold of the device and we
can see it is relatively thin we also get another front shot of the device
while folding and one thing that does worry me here is the crease that could
be caused after a lot of folding in the center of the galaxy bloom next up we've
got a photo showing us at the bottom and the top of the device when folded we can
see a bottom firing speakers along with the USB port although something that may
upset many here is the lack of a three and a half mil headphone jack finally we
get a shot of the back of the phone showing us a dual camera design with an
LED flash and an external display showing the time given the phone's
relatively small size I would assume the reason for such a small display on the
outside is of course for battery saving there's no fingerprint scanner to be
seen so we'll probably get an in display fingerprint scanner and it's thought
that this device will be an upper mid-range phone so it won't necessarily
have flagship everything now although this was previously posted is the galaxy
fold 2 well personally I don't think it was ever going to be that the galaxy
fold is more of a folding tablet whereas this device is a phone with portability
in mind I think this device will stay under the galaxy bloom branding will
probably get a separate galaxy fold 2 later on in the year a new report
reveals that the pricing for this device is going to be between 1,000 and 1,500
dollars which is cheaper than the galaxy folds $2,000 price tag
we've already had plenty of leaks on another folding device however that I
believe will be the Galaxy fold 2 a new patent was filed by Samsung and reveals
a foldable device with a different form factor than the original this one is
more of a galaxy tablet with a folding form factor with this design we get a
much larger display with a better aspect ratio for media and gaming the pattern
also reveals a full-screen display when unfolded we've got
no notches and no punch holes which suggests that we could be looking at an
in display camera given that this is going to be another luxury product from
Samsung that then it would sort of make sense the whole design of this folding
device is aimed at having a tablet with portability it will be designed to fit
comfortably in pockets but still provide a large enough display the device can
also be used in the form of a mini laptop by resting the bottom on the
surface and folding the top part up we then have a display on the top portion
in a keyboard on the bottom previous reports were stating it that the galaxy
fold 2 will be using ultra-thin glass instead of the transparent polymide
currently used that's vulnerable to scratches and damages as the galaxy
bloom is now coming out with this ultra thin glass I think it's very likely that
we'll also see it on the Galaxy fold 2 one feature commonly complained about
from the original fold it was the absence of an S Pen and this was
probably down to the transparent polymide not being durable enough for
use of an S Pen so hopefully it will be possible with the ultra-thin glass when
it comes to hardware and specs it's gonna be very dependent on release date
but I expect this device to come towards the end of 2020 meaning it's no doubt
going to contain at the snapdragon 865 the patent makes no mentions of cameras
but I would imagine we get something satisfactory but not too over-the-top
the devices can be aimed at heavy media users and gamers so photography won't be
as important unfortunately we haven't got any solid leaks when it comes to
launch or price of this device and given that it's a patent it doesn't
neccessarily confirm that the device is ever gonna make it to market either it
does however seem a sensible design that could take off if it does portable
devices are still very much in their infancy however in being luxury products
with such high price tags we yet to see if they will take off as they find
cheaper ways to manufacture these devices will see some more price drops
but we're still gonna be many years away from the means somewhat affordable
personally I think the galaxy bloom is going to be a new range from Samsung
whereas the fold will keep their current branding
of course if any more information comes to light about the galaxy bloom or the
galaxy fold 2 I'll be sharing with you guys straight away but as always I'd
like to know your thoughts in the comments what do you think of the
samsung galaxy bloom and do you like the design or do you prefer the galaxy fold 2
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
