SAMSUNG GALAXY FOLD 2 SMARTPHONES REVIEW & SPECIFICATIONS.
If there's one device that single-handedly kick-the trend of large-screen phones and was widely accepted as the first commercially - successful phablet was Samsung's Galaxy note launched in 2011
Marked as a powerful device that bridged the gap between a phone and a tablet, it started a new era for Smartphones. But at the same time was also criticized by the mainstream media and general consumers for being too large in size.
But even with all the hate Samsung stuck to its guts and pioneered what's now one of the most popular and successful smartphone lineups to date.
The main attractive feature apart from the big display was the note's stylish pen, branded as the S pen. While it wasn't the first Smartphone with a stylish one, it is one of the only ones to have still stuck to the trend even today.
But things might change soon enough, Samsung might just replace the note line with the Galaxy fold in the not too distant future.
Much like the original Galaxy Note, the Galaxy fold also started a new trend of foldable Smartphones, that offers the best of both worlds, a phone, and a tablet. Much like the original note, the fold also faced severe criticism from people all over the world but in spite of that Samsung is sticking to its guts and putting resources into improving the tech.
As a matter of fact, the sales of the fold have been doing extremely well considering the new form factor and the insane price tag.
Now, they're also working on the successor to the Galaxy fold, no the Galaxy Z flip is not the real successor. It's more like a Galaxy S 10e that folds.
The real successor will have top-of-the-line specs and in fact, we have some of the specs and features of the handset courtesy of reliable sources that paint a good picture of what we can expect from this new handset.
First of all, the Galaxy fold 2 will be launched in the 2nd quarter of this year which is between April and June.
It'll have an 8" display, Snapdragon 865 processor, ultra-thin glass, and most importantly will have S-pen support.
Now Korea Herald which is one of South Korea's biggest news publications is reporting that. Some industry watchers speculate that the next version of Galaxy Fold may gradually replace the flagship Galaxy Note series.
Even Samsung's CEO DJ Koh said a few months ago that if the Galaxy fold becomes successful then they'll think about fading the Note brand.
Samsung has sold half a million units of these phones already, people actually want to try this thing out and as a matter of fact, people who bought the phone are loving it.
They say once you use the fold, you cannot go back to the regular phones. And this is with the current state of foldable Smartphones which are fragile in nature. The next version will get a glass display built-in S-Pen and a ton of new improvements which will surely improve the user experience even more.
So foldable Smartphones are here to stay, in fact, they'll be as popular as our regular Smartphones once they are able to bring the manufacturing costs down.
The S-Pen support for the Galaxy Fold 2 indicates things to come. The rumors, the reports of Samsung merging.
The Galaxy S and Note lineup has some solid ground to it and considering the S and Note Phones are becoming identical in specs and features lately, it'll be a matter of time before Samsung will finally consider merging the two phone lineups
I'm not saying it'll happen this year. I'm sure there will be a Galaxy Note 20 which will be launched in August later this year but the merging will surely happen at some point and when that happens, the Galaxy fold will take the place of the Galaxy Note.
Let me know what you think about this down in the comments.
Thanks for staying with us 😊 ❤️
