Samsung today unveiled its third attempt at a foldable phone, making it its first 5G-compatible foldable device.
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G follows the troublesome launch of Samsung’s first foldable phone which was planned to be released in April last year.
The original device was shelved after reporters took a break within days and problems with the display.
Some reviewers described it as “unusable” and a reusable second-generation phone was later released.
The foldable phone can be opened in whole or in part
The price of the new device was leaked before launch when it was accidentally uploaded to the Samsung website, and for UK customers it could not be noticed at the bottom end of the market at 1, 1,799.
But for that price, it comes with space that even competes with some laptops, with 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and a 4,500mAh battery – Samsung’s so-called “all-day battery” – that requires powerful hardware to keep the device running.
The storage is fixed, and there is no port for a microSD card on the device.
Reviews have been positive, with Tekradar describing the device as “better in almost all respects” than the original Galaxy Fold, perhaps with special praise on screens larger than its name.
An advanced hinge mechanism keeps the screen stable regardless of the angle as the original fold was not and the process has embedded brushes to keep it free from dust and dirt.
The cover screen measures 6.2 “from angle to angle, covers the main screen 7.6” and brings a 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate – such as the company’s premium Galaxy Note 20 Ultra – which will appeal to mobile gamers, a market segment that Samsung has strongly targeted. .
