[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] Analysis suggests that the 'Galaxy Fold 2' will not be unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for August 5.

On the 12th (local time), Max Weinbach, a member of the XDA Developers team and an IT tipster, tweeted, "The software for the Galaxy Fold 2 is not ready to be revealed at this Unpacked event," adding, "There is almost no mention of the hardware either. It is presumed that there have been many delays."

Max Weinbach stated, "Even on the Galaxy Store, only user test content related to the Galaxy Note 20 or Z Flip 5G is displayed. It is assumed that carrier testing for the Fold 2 has just begun, and there will be zero information available to announce."

He also pointed out the lack of clues related to the Galaxy Fold on Samsung Electronics' own app market, the Galaxy Store. Compared to the Galaxy Note 20, which has even had product videos presumed to be of the actual device released, information disclosed about the Galaxy Fold 2 so far is extremely limited.

Even if it appears at the Unpacked event, it is likely to be shown only in a teaser video revealing some product-related information. He explained, "Based on the firmware schedule, it is likely to be released in September or October," adding, "Since it is currently in the carrier testing phase, the release should not be expected until testing is completed."

He said, "Samsung cannot release a product without confirmed pricing, launch partners, or final software," and added, "Applying the timeline of the Galaxy S series, which was released from early February to early March, the Galaxy Fold 2 is expected to be unveiled in early September and released in early October."

Max Weinbach expressed confidence, saying, "There is a 60% chance that the Galaxy Fold 2 will not be mentioned at the Unpacked event, and I am 100% sure it will not be announced."

The Galaxy Fold 2 is the successor foldable smartphone to the Galaxy Fold, featuring a horizontal folding design. The main display is expected to be larger at 7.7 inches, with the front camera design changing from a notch to a punch-hole style. The battery capacity is expected to be 4500mAh, the display refresh rate 120Hz, and it is likely to be equipped with the Snapdragon 865+ chipset.
