The Galaxy Z Fold 2 has begun to appear on regulatory websites The Galaxy Z Fold 2 has begun to appear on regulatory websites, which means the release date is not far off [The Galaxy Z Fold 2 has been listed on TENAA (via GizmoChina), the Chinese equivalent of the FCC, which is responsible for checking that devices meet the necessary legal standards As the final step before launch, the information in these listings is as reliable as that provided directly by the manufacturer

When the phone is folded, you can really feel how thick the phone is, especially considering the camera bump similar to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra one issue with the Note 20 Ultra's bump is that when the phone is placed on a table and the screen is pushed down, the phone the phone can wobble And here we hope it doesn't

The good news is that the Fold 2 is only 6 mm (024 inches) thick when unfolded, which is quite thin compared to other phones Samsung has also minimized the gap between the screens, which should make it fit better in your pocket

Its large camera bump will feature three visible sensors, which Samsung has yet to confirm: a 12MP main camera, a 64MP telephoto camera, and a 12MP ultrawide camera, along with a time-of-flight depth sensor for better photographic effects

Another interesting detail from the side is the visible capacitive fingerprint sensor on the power button This is perhaps the most "archaic" technology on the phone, but given the structure of the phone, one would imagine that trying to fit a fingerprint sensor under the display would be too difficult We hope that Samsung will incorporate the ultrasonic fingerprint technology in the Galaxy S20 and Galaxy Note 20 series into future generations of folderable handsets

Looking at the folded phone from the other side, one can see the Galaxy Z Flip-style hinge mechanism The original Galaxy Fold did not allow debris to get into the folding mechanism, but the Z Flip improves this considerably thanks to a tighter hinge with a built-in fiber brush that sweeps out any debris that gets in It is good to see Samsung using the same design in the Z Fold 2

It is difficult to see the external display on the front of the phone, but we do know that it is a 62-inch AMOLED panel with a 10MP punch-hole camera at the top center The internal display is 76 inches, also an AMOLED panel, with an embedded 10MP selfie camera A major upgrade from the original Fold is a high refresh rate of 120 Hz, on par with the best smartphone displays on the market today

According to details recorded by TENAA, the phone also features dual-mode 5G This means that it will support both current non-stand-alone (NSA) 5G networks built on existing 4G infrastructure and future stand-alone (SA) networks that are currently unfinished This means that Fold 2 will provide the fastest mobile data speeds available in your area for the next several years

Samsung has revealed the official details of the Fold 2, which will likely be available for pre-order on September 1 and will go on sale on September 18 The price will be around $2,000, similar to the original Galaxy Fold, and we expect to see rumored specs such as a Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset, 12GB RAM, and a 4,365mAh battery capacity
