Thanks to the Galaxy Fold 2 leak, we have a pretty good idea when the successor to Samsung's Galaxy Fold foldable phone will arrive and how much it will cost However, a new leak claims that the phone will debut under a new name
Get ready for the Galaxy Z Fold 2 It really rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
That revised name is courtesy of a report by Sammobile, which cites reliable sources The name change will place all Samsung foldable phones under the Galaxy Z brand, which was introduced when Samsung introduced the Galaxy Z Flip earlier this year
While both are foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z Flip take very different approaches The Fold has the display on the outside and opens up like a book to reveal a phablet-sized screen inside, while the Z Flip, which has been quite well received among Samsung's foldable phones, takes the flip phone design and adds a screen reinforced with a thin layer of glass for a more foldable into a compact form factor
In a way, it makes sense for Samsung to use the same branding for its foldable phone lineup, and as Bloomberg reported in February, the phone maker plans to use the Galaxy Z name for all future foldable phones Still, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is a rather cumbersome name, as if it were just letters and numbers pieced together Perhaps sticking with Galaxy Z Fold and eliminating the extra "2" would be a more concise way to describe the new phone
Then again, Samsung probably wants to emphasize that this is a new and improved version of the Fold, given the troubles with the original released last year The updated Fold reportedly has a larger display both outside and inside, and an improved camera Galaxy Fold 2 Let's see The Galaxy Z Fold 2 will likely feature a Snapdragon 865 system-on-chip and have 5G connectivity
According to the latest leaks regarding the Galaxy Fold follow-up, the phone will debut along with the Galaxy Note 20 in early August, but Samsung will not ship it until September When it does ship, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is expected to cost about the same as the original $1,980
