Hot price, incredible design: the impressive Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 can be taken in hand, but is it worth it?


We were able to try the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, which hits Belgian shelves on September 18, at the steep price of € 1,999. And for the first time with a folding screen smartphone, we took a slap. From there to believe in the speech of Samsung Belgium, which considers that ” in 10 years, the foldable smartphone could become the norm ” ?

We turned over our archives: foldable screens, and their arrival on our phones, it is a subject that we broached for the first time nine years ago already. It was therefore necessary to wait nearly a decade to see this technology take its course in order to become mature and productive on a large scale. It seems that in 2020, we can confirm that this technology is developed. Which doesn’t mean that the general public either needs or wants it …

In terms of envy, in any case, we cannot blame the South Korean giant Samsung for not having reviewed its copy to try to give it back to us. A year ago, the first foldable smartphone in the brand’s history came out: the Galaxy Z Fold. Impressive from afar, but far from being perfectly finalized up close: its hinge had not convinced (solid downside, for a machine whose main characteristic is to be able to bend), its screen on the front was far too small, the double central screen (in deployed mode) was scarred with a large unsightly notch, and the general finishes were not necessarily up to a mobile which sold its shell very dearly: a bit over € 2,000!
