The original Samsung Galaxy Fold failed to quite hit the mark, as did
the Huawei’s Mate X. But not all folding phones fell short of what they
set out to do. We’re, of course, talking about the still-recent
Motorola Razr. Unlike the Samsung and Huawei duo, the Motorola Razr
folds down to become smaller, and when flipped open, it becomes your
regular-sized smartphone (albeit with a fat chin).
The new Samsung Galaxy Fold 2's
clamshell-like design choice is the reason behind Razr’s new-found
success. And from the looks of Samsung has taken a page out of
Motorola’s book, as evident by the live shots of the Galaxy Fold 2 that
have just surfaced.
We’ve been hearing about a clamshell Samsung smartphone being in the
works, ever since October, but they were mostly rumors. Now, thanks to
this leak, we get a first real look at the next generation of Samsung’s
Galaxy Fold. And from the looks of it, Samsung has nailed the design,
because the Fold 2 appears to be much sleeker-looking than the Razr.
In
line with most of the recent offerings from Samsung, the phone features
a 6.7-inch Infinity-O display -- a display with a Galaxy-Note-10
centered punch-hole. It folds down to become a much more pocketable
device, with a secondary display on the outside. This additional display
only shows the date and notifications in the live images, but it could
be bigger than it seems. We’re not sure yet. And of course, this display
is flanked by a twin-camera setup.
In
comparison to the chunky form factor of the Razr, the thinner bezels
and lighter chin stand out, and the display itself seems to be much
taller than the one Razr sports. Placed on the upper right side of the
spine, you can spot the power button and the volume rockers, accompanied
by a USB Type-C port and a speaker grill on the bottom.
Reportedly, Samsung is planning on officially unveiling the Galaxy Fold
2, on February 18, at the Galaxy S11 launch event but do keep in mind
that it'll carry a whopping high Samsung Price tag. And as per the same reports, you’ll be asked to pay upwards of $1000 for this next-gen Galaxy Fold.
