Samsung has a busy August coming up with a barrage of high-profile launches scheduled. We might have just gotten a first look at the star of the show-the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2.
The successor to the original Galaxy Fold from last year, the Z Fold 2 is expected to bring important upgrades on the inside as well as outside. It will be one of the only widely-available foldables in most countries later this year.

A Twitter user from Korea shared an image of the phone, which might just be our first look of the Z Fold 2. No other information was shared but some design changes are evident from the leaked image. Firstly, the bezels around the display are visibly slimmer, making the panel look more immersive. The oddly-shaped notch has been replaced with an Infinity-O cutout for the selfie camera. The edges of the panel also seem to be less exposed.
We already know that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 will move to a UTG (ultra-thin glass) implementation for the flexible display, which is significantly more durable than the plastic one used in the first one. It will be an AMOLED panel with an aspect ratio of 4:3. The outer display is also rumoured to get bigger and more functional with similarly slimmer bezels all around. Most importantly, we could see a shift to 120Hz refresh rate.
On the inside, it is expected to pack all the latest specifications such as the Snapdragon 865/865 Plus chipset, an improved 108MP camera and 5G capabilities. Some leaks even talked about S-Pen functionality but that is unlikely to make the cut.
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 will be unveiled at the Samsung Unpacked event on August 2, alongside the Note 20 series, the Buds Live and the Tab S7. However, it might go on sale only in September.
