Samsung has officially launched four mobiles with folding screens from the original Galaxy Fold to Z Flip, Two Z Flip 5G, and Z Fold 2.
This is not difficult to see from product nomenclature. To position the folding screen product line more clearly, Samsung similarly calls it the Galaxy Z series. Which further leads to two product lines. Namely horizontal folding bend chain and vertical folding flip. Subdivides Chain. Today, we mainly discuss the released Galaxy Z Fold 2.
Samsung galaxy fold 2 – Design |
The folding screen may be the “new species” in smartphones. The original folding is amazing enough, but more details are not so satisfactory at the initial exploration stage. After all, there is a gradual development and perfection of new things. process. However, the new Fold2 has not changed much in the overall design. But it has been adjusted in many details. Such as product technology, screens, frames, anklets, etc. At the same time, in the folding screen experience, Samsung Fold2 also brings many. Upgrade. it can be said. That the Galaxy Z Fold 2 has more overall finish and is ultimately a horizontal folding screen phone with an almost complete feel on the market.
This is the first impression of Galaxy Z Fold 2. That it is more sophisticated. The design has changed from a generation’s sleek style to today’s tough style. The body has a stronger sense of lines and a more business environment.
For the internal screen, the L-shaped large bangs design is removed, and has a narrower frame design than the previous generation. Which is 27% narrower than the previous generation.
As a result, a more extreme full-screen display effect is brought in, further improving the visual impact and practicality of the internal screen. Internal screen Samsung uses the latest ultra-thin flexible glass (UTG) material. Which is more delicate and transparent than the previous generation screen. But the crease still exists, and this problem should not be resolved in a short period of time.
More Obtimized Design |
It is noteworthy that Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 has further improved and optimized the hinge. An invisible hinge design is adopted and combines the latest ultra-micro cutting technology. Which is combined with basic cam brake technology. Which can realize closing, unflow and multi-angle rotation stops.
In terms of the dust-proof details of the hinge, Fold 2 introduces dust-proof fiber technology. Which can effectively reduce dust and other small foreign objects in the gap between the torso and hinges. It has been reported that the structural location of its dust-proof fiber is smaller than that of the Z flip.

Samsung galaxy fold 2 Visual experience |
In terms of visual experience, both internal and external screens adopt a full-view single-hole design, and the center-mounted perforation visual experience is even better, and the screen-to-body ratio is greatly improved. Having a large external screen not only enhances the visual effect. Rather it makes control more comfortable. The external screen can eventually be used as a normal phone with a fish screen. Practicality is greatly improved, without the tense sense of generation under control.
Weight & Thickness |
From real shots, it’s not hard to see. Fold 2 is larger and heavier than the first-generation product, and the thickness has increased slightly. Typical data are as follows: Fold 2 weight 282g and has a thickness of 16.8 mm when folded. For comparison, the first generation folds weight of 263 grams, and the folding screen thickness is 15.5 mm.

The full benefit of folding design and advantages of this large screen. This time, the interaction can be divided into two parts. Namely vertical interactive experience and multitasking split-screen experience.
The so-called vertical interactive experience. Users who have used Z Flip should have some understanding. Based on multi-angle rotation and application optimization, Fold 2 brings a more convenient and efficient experience. For example, when the screen is opened at a certain angle. So the camera interface can be divided into a viewfinder interface, a preview interface, and a functional area interface, and the preview interface can be previewed in real-time.
Multitasking |

Our Opinion |
Although the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is more than an improvement in product description and experience, it cannot be said. That it is only a product. Which meets its shortcomings. Because folding screens are a new category. Its development is a process of continuous exploration and innovation. We are inclined to define it as a fully developed product. In the current market, the Fold 2 should be the most complete and experience folding screen phone you can buy.
Price |
