we now have live photos of the Samsung Galaxy fold 2 and I'll be sharing with
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 at Samsung's Developer Conference
back in October they showcased a new falling design on screen that folds the
opposite way to the original fold unlike the original fold the Galaxy fold 2
folds down vertically similar to the new Razer foam while we previously only had
renders to go on a Weibo user has posted at live photos of the Galaxy fold 2 we
get five photos in total more not the best in quality we can't 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 centre next up we've got a photo showing us 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 would worry me here is the crease
that could be caused after a lot of folding in the center of the galaxy fold 2
next up we've got a photo showing us at the bottom of the device when folded
we can see a bottom firing speaker along with a USB C port well there's something
that may upset people is the lack of a three and a half mil audio 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 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 this device may be an upper mid-range phone so it won't necessarily
have flagship specs now although this is being posted is the galaxy fault -
personally I don't think it is the galaxy fold seems to be more of a
folding tablet whereas this device is more of a phone with portability in mind
I think this device may be branded under another name and the galaxy fold 2 will
be more similar to the predecessor we've already had plenty of leaks on
another folding device that I believe is the Galaxy fold 2 a new patent was filed
by Samsung that reveals a foldable device with a different form
factor than the original this is more of a Galaxy Tab 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 revealed a full-screen display when
unfolded we've got no notches and no punch holes
that would suggest 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 the folding device is aimed at having a tablet with
portability it's designed to fit comfortably in pockets but still provide
a large enough display the device can also be used in a form of a mini laptop
by resting the bottom on the surface and folding up the top part we then have a
display on the top portion in a keyboard on the bottom previous reports are
stating that Samsung will be using ultra-thin glass on the flexible device
instead of the transparent polymide currently used that is vulnerable to
scratches and damages one feature commonly complained about on the
original fold is the absence of an S Pen unfortunately due to the transparent
polymide used an S Pen would not be suitable but it may be the case that
ultra thin glass could be durable enough for an S Pen when it comes to hardware
in specs it will 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 that we get something satisfactory but
not over-the-top the device will be aimed at a heavy media users and gamers
so photography probably won't be as important unfortunately we haven't got
any solid leaks when it comes to launch or the price and given that this is only
a patent it doesn't confirm the device will ever make it to market either it
does however seem a sensible design that could take off we know that despite
their initial issues however the Samsung are continuing to push their foldable
devices we've already have the launch of the W20 5G folding phone and while it
was expected that this was also going to be a clamshell tight folding phone it
turned out that this was just an improved version of the original Galaxy
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 a white edge instead of the plain metal this was of course to
help stop debris making its way inside the device and damaging the display on
top of this it also used the newest Snapdragon 855 plus system on chip
affordable devices are still very much in their infancy however in being luxury
products with such high price tags we're yet to see if they will take off as they
find cheaper ways to manufacture these devices 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 I'll be
sharing with you guys straight away but as always I'd like to know your thoughts
in the comments which device you think will be the galaxy fold 2 and what
one do you prefer the tablet fold or the clamshell phone fold 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
