Samsung Will Soon Launch 2 Snapdragon 865 Smartphones Through Galaxy Z Fold 2: Unpacked Part 2

Samsung will soon launch two smartphones, following the preview of the Galaxy Z Fold2 during the Unpacked event last Aug 5. The launch is scheduled at 10:00 a.m. EDT on Sept 1, and people can watch it online via live stream from the Samsung Newsroom.

However, leaks about the Galaxy S20 FE (Fan Edition) surfaced on Monday, Aug 31, when the Galaxy Fold 2 and the S20 FE both appeared on Geekbench.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 price

The first Unpacked event last month seems like a preview for the Samsung Fold 2, which was Samsung promoted as a "game-changer for premium high-tech experiences." While the exact cost of the phone is yet unclear, it is believed to fall around the same amount of the first fold model at $1,980. The company's use of "premium" confirms that the device will be quite a hefty one. However, the most recent price leak suggests a £1,799 or $2,150 price tag for the Galaxy Z Fold 2 in the U.K, which is £100 less than the original fold priced at £1,899 or $2,274. While most consumers may decline to pay over $1,000 for a smartphone, the market for the Galaxy Z Fold2 is, of course, those with the money to pay for cutting-edge technology.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G

As confirmed earlier, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 will run on Qualcomm's top-of-the-line Snapdragon 865 chipsets, which includes 5G compatibility. It features a design that opens up to reveal a larger 7.6 inches display inside. It also comes in two colors: Mystic Black and Mystic Bronze, which Samsung has been introducing in all of its new models.

Meanwhile, a tweet from XDA host Max Weinbach noted that Verizon is specifically listed on the Fold 2's software, which could mean that the phone will support Verizon's mmWave-based 5G network. If this is true, specific antennas are required in a phone.
