While most of us are waiting to know when the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 will arrive, a few lucky individuals have already had a chance to review it

Samsung's new foldable appeared in an extensive video from a Chinese YouTube channel (via SamMobile), detailing the device's features and flashes in beauty shots from every angle

One of the first things you'll notice in this video is the boxier design of the Galaxy Z Fold 2, including flatter edges and sharper corners And of course, it has the added benefit of an Infinity-O type front-facing camera cutout in place of the odd side notch arrangement found on the first generation Galaxy Fold

Of course, the outer display is also much larger than the original Galaxy Fold, now extending to the edge of the phone's footprint The small outward-facing screen relative to the phone's size was one of our biggest complaints about Samsung's first foldable, but the difference is truly night and day

In this new iteration, the plastic sheet that covered the interior panel of the first Fold has been replaced by ultra-thin glass, which looks as sturdy as it did on the Galaxy Z Flip There is no unsightly orange peel effect, and aside from a slight crease along the hinge, the screen is virtually unblemished

Speaking of the Z Flip, the top panel remains upright so that you can record yourself without having to hold the device, like a special video interface for vlogging This is thanks to the new hinge on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 This hinge can be fixed at any angle, something that was not present in Samsung's first foldable

The review video also delves into the camera interface, showing the up to 10x zoom power available with the device's 12-megapixel telephoto lens The Galaxy Z Fold 2 has three 12-megapixel sensors: wide, ultra-wide, and telephoto

As a result, the Fold 2 cannot pull off the 50x or 100x "space zoom" that Samsung advertises on its Ultra flagships, but the Fold series is less focused on photography than Samsung's previous phones and such reckless zoom power is of little use in most situations

Overall, from this video, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 appears to be built on the foundation of the previous model

The price and shipping start date for the new Fold is still unknown, but we do know that pre-orders will begin on September 1 Samsung is also expected to reveal more details about the phone at that time Stay tuned for our impressions when we finally get our hands on the device
