jpnn.com – Samsung Electronics is preparing two new folding screens at affordable prices in the second half of this year, Yonhap news agency reported on Sunday.
Samsung is projected to launch the Galaxy Fold 2 and 5G variants of the Galaxy Z Flip at an event in August, along with its flagship Galaxy Note 20 series, according to sources.
However, an affordable smartphone, possibly named Galaxy Fold Lite, will not debut at the event.
The South Korean tech giant is rumored to be introducing a folding screen smartphone version, at half the price of the usual Galaxy Fold.
Many cellphone reviewers estimate that Galaxy Fold 2 will appear with a 7.7-inch screen when opened, while when closed it will be 6.23 inches.
The size is bigger than its predecessor, which has a 7.3 inch screen when opened and 4.6 inches when closed.
Samsung is expected to use ultra-thin glass (UTG) for Galaxy Fold 2, as was done on the Galaxy Z Flip.
However, many predict that the second generation of Galaxy Fold will not be equipped with S-Pen.
