Could the Galaxy Fold 2 be waterproof? A new patent suggests yes. Plus, whispers about a cheaper version of the Fold 2, what we've heard about the camera and more.
Samsung spilled the beans. The world's largest phone brand is definitely making its third foldable phone, as well as the next Galaxy Note. It's widely expected that the next phone will be called the Galaxy Fold 2, the successor device to the original Galaxy Fold. Or will the "Fold 2" in fact be a series of phones at different prices, just like the Galaxy S20 series?
Samsung's determination to be the preeminent foldable phone maker is clear. Roughly three months ago, it launched the Galaxy Z Flip. Now, in Samsung's own words, "The Company will continue to offer differentiated products in the premium segment with the launch of new foldable and Note models." This was a sly reveal in a late April earnings report.
It isn't clear how buyers will respond to another foldable phone priced at $1,000 or more, not with the current unemployment rate at 17.2% and a major recession looming. We do know that Samsung has already felt the burn. Global phone sales already plunged by 38% in February compared to 2019. And Samsung warned that its phone business will "drop sharply in most regions" as a result of coronavirus-related slowdowns.

The next foldable phone from Samsung?
It took a long time for the Samsung Galaxy Fold to hit store shelves, thanks to years of rumors followed by months of delays, but the resulting product felt undeniably first-gen.
If you're here to find out about Samsung's next foldable phone, you should check out our hands on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip review, which is quite a different beast to the Fold 2. It was launched in February 2020 alongside the Samsung Galaxy S20 range.
The Galaxy Z Flip has a different form factor to the Galaxy Fold (and likely the Fold 2) as it's a 'clamshell' device that folds like a flip phone of old or the Motorola Razr 2019, but with a long and flexible screen.
While the Galaxy Z Flip might be a comparatively affordable foldable, the Samsung Galaxy Fold is for those who want the cutting-edge of smartphone technology no matter what it costs and how unpolished it is.
But while we can’t recommend the Galaxy Fold to most, it is an exciting look at one possible future of phones, and the Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 is sure to fix some of the original's missteps.
