Unveiled on Tuesday, the Galaxy Z Fold2's screen measures 7.6 inches when unfolded. The 5G compatible phone will also be Samsung's most expensive foldable, priced at US$1,999 in the United States compared to US$1,980 for the Galaxy Fold launched last year.The new model, however, is facing a tough market with economic uncertainties created by the coronavirus pandemic cooling demand for high-end smartphones.
Despite the launch of its premium Galaxy S20 lineup in March, Samsung has fared particularly badly. Its second-quarter smartphone sales plummeted 30per cent and South Korean tech giant ceded its position as the world's biggest smartphone seller to Chinese rival Huawei Technologies Co Ltd, according to research firm Canalys.
Offered in two colours - mystic black and mystic bronze - the Galaxy Z Fold2 will go on sale on Sept. 18 in about 40 countries.
