The leak comes from Evan Blass, who says that pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Fold 2 will begin on September 2, with shipping and retail sales on September 18 This is after the launch of Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 series, which will ship on August 21

While announcing the foldable phone earlier this month, Samsung remained silent on the exact specs of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 However, several upgrades have been confirmed This time around, it has a larger 76-inch internal display without the ugly notch, and a larger 62-inch external display The internal display also gets a 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling

Samsung also stated that it has made several design enhancements to the Galaxy Z Fold 2 These include the addition of Ultra Thin Glass to make the main display more durable, the ability to open the screen at multiple angles, and an overall thinner design that narrows the gap between the two halves when closed

There are three cameras on the back: main, ultra-wide, and telephoto, with two selfie cameras, one embedded in the internal display and one in the external display The megapixels are not yet known, but unofficially it appears that the rear will be 12MP/12MP/64MP and the selfie camera will be 10MP, like the Galaxy S20

Inside the Z Fold 2 will likely be a Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset, 12GB of RAM, 5G connectivity, and 256GB or 512GB of storage The battery would be around 4,300mAh, like the original Galaxy Fold, and would be capable of 25W or 45W charging

With an expected price of over $2,000, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 will not be a mass-market phone, but it will be interesting to see if all the improvements stack up to make it the best foldable phone
