Can we call this The Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 ?
Samsung’s Galaxy Fold is the first folding phone most of our readers could actually buy but it won’t be the last. Last month, Motorola announced a vertically folding throwback to its classic RAZR, and Samsung has teased that it might do something very similar. Now, our insider got hands on a phone that looks like it might be Samsung’s clamshell Galaxy Fold and you can check them out for yourself.
Our insider got hands on the image but we aren’t certain that these images, is actually depict a Samsung device, much less one that’s headed to market. We could be seeing a prototype, a concept. But Bloomberg has reported since March that Samsung would follow the Galaxy Fold with a pair of additional foldable devices including a clamshell like the one you see above, and the overall silhouette lines up nicely with the concept images that Samsung officially shared in October.
We can see that this foldable phone have two primary cameras around back, compared to the five or so reportedly headed to Samsung’s Galaxy S11 in February of next year. Earlier this month, Bloomberg reported that the next Galaxy Fold would launch around the same time, and would also get the same 108-megapixel main camera and 5x zoom camera as the Galaxy S11 but if so, and if these images are that phone, it looks like it might rely on digital zoom for everything between 1x and 5x.
When out insider spoke to analysts, The Korea Herald reported that the next Galaxy Fold is expected to be quite a bit more affordable than its predecessor at around 60,047 INR , less than half the 1,40,703 INR the current device costs in the US. We’re taking that with a grain of salt since Motorola’s razr foldable will cost 1,06,559 INR this January despite its mid-range specs. Even 63,978 INR would be pretty aggressive for a folding Samsung flagship.
Few days back, Huawei announced that it’ll be releasing a faster, more durable version of its Mate X foldable next year, and will bring the existing version to Europe as well.
