the galaxy fold 2 is coming earlier than we thought and I'll be sharing all
the details right after this
if you knew here won't stay up to date with the latest tech please hit
subscribe followed by the bell so a new report has emerged letting us know that
the Samsung Galaxy fold 2 is coming earlier than we thought and it's
actually going to be launched before the galaxy s11
if the Samsung developer conference back in October they showcase a new folding
design on screen that folds the opposite way to the original fold unlike the
original fold at the Galaxy fold 2 folds down vertically similar to the new
razor phone thanks to other brands like Huawei and Motorola being set to release
similar models early next year Samsung are now rushing theirs to market
Samsung Electronics refused to comment on their release schedule of the new
foldable phone but a source claims we'll be seeing it in February 20 20 before
the launch of the new S11 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 fold 2 more information has been coming forward and we now have a
good idea of what to expect the device is reportedly gonna have a six point
seven inch screen when unfolded and be more of a square shape in its folded
position what we previously only had renders to go on a Weibo use - posted at
live photos of the Galaxy fold 2 we get five photos in total and one not the
best in quality we can see a lot about the phone's design the first photo shows
us the tool aspect ratio of the device we can see we've got a pretty much full
screen display thanks to the punch hole selfie camera top center next up we've
got a photo showing us at the fold of the device we can see it is relatively
thin we also get another front on shot of the device while folding and one
thing that would worry me here is the crease that could be caused after a lot
of folding in the center of the galaxy fold - next up we've got a photo showing
us at the bottom on top of the device when folded and we can see a bottom
firing speaker along with the USBC port or there's something that may upset
people is the lack of a three and a half mil headphone jack finally we get a shot
of the back of the phone which shows us a dual camera design with an LED flash
and we've got an external display showing the time
given the phones relatively small size I would assume that the reason for such a
small display on the exterior is for battery saving there's no fingerprint
scanner to be seen so we may get an in display fingerprint scanner but it's
thought that the device may be an upper mid-range phone so it won't necessarily
have flagship specs now although this is being posted as the Galaxy fold 2
personally I don't think it is the galaxy fold seems more of a folding
tablet whereas this device is more of a phone with portability in mind I think
that this device may be branded under another name and the galaxy fold 2 will
be more similar to its predecessor a new report has revealed that the pricing for
this device is expected to be between 1,000 and 1,500 dollars which is cheaper
than the galaxy folds $2,000 price tag but if this is the cost then I would be
expecting some flagship specs we've already had plenty of leaks on
another folding device from Samsung that I believe could be the Galaxy fold 2 a
new patent was filed by Samsung and it reveals a foldable device with a
slightly different form factor than the original it's more of a Galaxy Tab with
a folding form factor and 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 we could be looking at an in display camera given that this is
going to be another luxury product from Samsung then this would 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 with the keyboard on the bottom previous
reports are stating that Samsung are going to be using ultra-thin glass on
flexible devices in the future instead of the transparent polymide currently
used that is vulnerable to scratches and damage
one feature commonly complained about on the original fold is the absence of an S
Pen unfortunately due to the transparent polymide and s-pen it would not be
suitable but it may be the case if the ultra-thin glass could be durable enough
to use a star when it comes to hardware in specs it's
gonna be very dependent on release date but given it's a luxury product it will
no doubt receive the latest Snapdragon system-on-chip with some generous RAM
and storage configurations the patent makes no mention of cameras but I would
imagine we get something satisfactory but not over-the-top the device is going
to be aimed at a heavy media users and gamers so photography probably isn't 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 even confirm
the device will ever make it to market it does however seem a 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 5G folding phone all it was expected that this was going
to be the clamshell type folding phone it turned out that it was just an
improved version of the original fold and probably what should have been the
original fold the main improvements in the W20 5G was that the device had less
of a gap when folded and it's got white edges instead of the plain metal this
was of course to help stop the debris making its way inside the device and
damaging the display on top of this it also uses the newest snapdragon 855 plus
system on chip foldable devices are still very much in their infancy however
and being luxury products with such high price tags we're yet to see if they'll
fully take off as they find cheaper ways to manufacture these devices that we
will see some price drops but we're still going to be many years away from
them being somewhat affordable personally I think the clamshell type
fold will be a new range from Samsung or maybe even added to the W range and the
pattern that we've seen it could be the galaxy fold 2 of course as more
information comes to light about this or any other folding phone I'll be sharing
with you guys straight away but as always I'd like to know your thoughts in
the comments which device do you think will be the galaxy fold 2 which fold do
you prefer the tablet or the clamshell folding phone and also do you think the
price tags are still too high but thanks for watching the video if you liked it
smash the thumbs up if you didn't the thumbs down twice and I'll see you
guys in the next one
