According to Young, the Galaxy Fold 2’s main camera will have a triple-lens configuration with 12MP, 16MP, and 64MP sensors. Going by their resolution, it is likely that the foldable phone will have a 12MP primary camera, 16MP ultra-wide-angle shooter, and a 64MP telephoto lens. Samsung’s Galaxy S20 and S20+ also feature a 64MP telephoto lens with 3x hybrid optical zoom and 30x digital zoom.
More Galaxy Fold 2 Leaks:Price – Between $1780 and $1980. Since they are looking to boost volumes, we think it will be priced around $100 less than last year at $1880-$1895 despite a bigger/better front and main display, a higher resolution camera, the S-Pen and 5G.

Young claims the Galaxy Fold 2 will be priced at around $1,880, despite all the upgrades. The slightly lower price tag and impressive hardware specs will no doubt make the Galaxy Fold 2 a more appealing device than its predecessor. Young also suggests the foldable phone will be announced alongside the Galaxy Note 20 series, which is expected to debut sometime in August.
