[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Rendering images of Samsung Electronics' new foldable smartphone Galaxy Fold 2, set to be released in August, have appeared. The camera arrangement is expected to change to an induction design similar to the Galaxy S20, and the cover display is expected to become larger.


On the 11th (local time), IT specialized media SamMobile revealed unofficial rendering images provided by Twitter user Blossom (@blossomcy1201). Rendering images are a graphic term meaning three-dimensional images, representing a realistic prediction of a product under development.


Unlike the Galaxy Fold, which had a vertically arranged triple camera, the Galaxy Fold 2 image shows the rear camera arranged in an induction design like the Galaxy S20. The Galaxy Fold 2 is expected to include three cameras with improved pixel counts compared to before, as well as a ToF sensor.


The cover (external) display, which is visible when folded, has become larger, and the horizontal length is slightly longer than the previous model. The functionality of the cover display is also expected to improve compared to its predecessor. Industry insiders predict that the main display size of the Galaxy Fold 2 will expand from the previous 7.3 inches to up to 8 inches this time.

The cover display size is expected to expand from 4.6 inches to 6.23 inches. The previous model supported a resolution of 1680*720 with an aspect ratio of 21:9, but the Galaxy Fold 2 is expected to have a higher pixel resolution of 2267*819 and an improved aspect ratio.


The main display, which appears when unfolded, is likely to eliminate the notch and adopt a punch-hole design with a circular cutout only for the front camera. The main display refresh rate is expected to be 120Hz, while the cover display will likely have 60Hz.



Samsung Electronics plans to unveil the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Fold 2 at the Galaxy Unpacked event around August 5. The Galaxy Fold 2's display will use the same UTG material as the Galaxy Z Flip, and due to durability concerns, the S Pen is not expected to be supported. The Galaxy Fold 2 is reported to be equipped with the same 108-megapixel camera as the Galaxy S20 Ultra, a telephoto lens (48 megapixels) supporting 30x zoom, and an ultra-wide lens (12 megapixels).
