Samsung seems to have big plans for the Galaxy Fold 2; the device that folds open and shut like a book. A tweet has turned up with some specifications of the future device. Samsung seems to have everything it needs to live up to the towering expectations of foldables.
The future Galaxy Fold 2 appears to be the love child of the Galaxy S20 and the Galaxy Note 10. It seems to share many properties of these 2 devices. Think of a smooth 120 Hz screen and built-in S Pen. This makes the Fold 2 seem to be more on the Note-side. Considering the enormous screen surface it seems a logical step.

Just like the Z Flip Samsung would like to use ultra thin glass, also called UTG. It remains to be seen whether this device is still equipped with a plastic top layer, but in general UTG feels more premium than a screen made of plastic only. The successor to the Galaxy Fold will have a slightly larger screen size of 7.59 inches and can also handle the S Pen we know from the Note-family. The self-image camera is also a lot more subtle. In the first Fold, a big bite was taken out of the screen for this. For the 2nd generation Fold a more refined screen hole is used. This seems to make the double selfiecam a thing of the past.
Nouncement Galaxy Fold 2
The question is whether all these specifications will become reality. Possibly that question will remain unanswered for a while, because the Galaxy Fold has only been on sale here for a few months. A quick announcement is not obvious, especially with the coronavirus outbreak. That gives Samsung some time to work on improvement. The stretching of the screen format on the front, for example. It is said to go from 4.6 to 6.23 inches.
