KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 1): Samsung Electronics Co Ltd today unveiled the next generation of its category-defining foldable device — the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2.

Packed with enhanced refinements and meaningful innovations, the Galaxy Z Fold2 delivers new foldable experiences for those who enjoy being on the cutting edge of technology, the group said in a statement today.

“With a larger cover screen and a massive main screen, the Galaxy Z Fold2 combines solid design and expert craftsmanship with intuitive new features for a unique mobile experience that offers the versatility that everyday life demands,” it added.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 is proof that the smartphone maker listens to user feedback to ensure meaningful improvements to the hardware, while developing new innovations to enhance the user experience, said Samsung president and head of mobile communications business Dr TM Roh.

“Further strengthened by our industry-leading partnerships with Google and Microsoft, we’re reshaping and redefining the possibilities of the mobile device experience,” he added.

The new smartphone comes with a 6.2-inch Infinity-O cover screen so you can check emails, look up directions or watch your favourite content without having to unfold the device every time.

When unfolded, the 7.6-inch main screen, with minimised bezels and notch-less front camera, offers a 120Hz adaptable refresh rate for smooth scrolling and gameplay.

“To complete the experience, the Galaxy Z Fold2 comes with the best dynamic sound available on a Galaxy device to date, with enhanced stereo effect and clearer sound provided by high-dynamic dual speakers,” it said.

On its design and craftsmanship, Samsung said the Galaxy Z Fold2 is re-engineered with a sleek, unified design that delivers a smooth, high-end feel. This is complemented by the Samsung Ultra-Thin Glass on the device’s main screen, which provides a more premium and refined feel for the display.

The Galaxy Z Fold2 also employs the sweeper technology — first introduced on the Galaxy Z Flip — within the gap between the body and hinge housing, to repel dust and undesirable particles.

“For those looking to stand out even more, Samsung is offering an online tool to customise your Galaxy Z Fold2 with four distinct Hideaway Hinge colors — metallic silver, metallic gold, metallic red and metallic blue.

“Now you can create the Galaxy Z Fold2 that perfectly complements your unique style, adding a personalised touch to premium design,” Samsung added.
