KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2  -- Samsung Electronics Co Ltd unveiled the next generation of its category-defining foldable device -- the Samsung Galaxy X Fold2.

Packed with enhanced refinements and meaningful innovations, the Galaxy Z Fold2 delivers new foldable experiences for those who enjoy being on the cutting edge of technology.

“With a larger cover screen and massive main screen, the Galaxy Z Fold2 combines solid design and expert craftsmanship with intuitive new features for a unique mobile experience that offers the versatility that everyday life demands,” Samsung said in a statement.

Samsung president and head of mobile communications business Dr TM Roh said the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 , demonstrated that the company closely listened to user feedback to ensure it brings meaningful improvements to the hardware, while also developing new innovations to enhance the user experience.

“Further strengthened by our industry-leading partnerships with Google and Microsoft, we’re reshaping and redefining the possibilities of the mobile device experience,” he added.

The new smartphone comes with a 6.2-inch infinity-O cover screen which provides maximum usability to check emails, look up directions, or even watch favourite content without needing to unfold device every time.

When unfolded, the massive 7.6-inch main screen, with minimised bezels and notch-less front camera, immerses users with a 120Hz adaptable refresh rate for smooth scrolling and gameplay.

To complete the experience, the Galaxy Z Fold2 comes with the best dynamic sound available on a Galaxy device to date, with enhanced stereo effect and clearer sound provided by high-dynamic dual speakers.

Galaxy Z Fold2 also employs sweeper technology within the gap between the body and hinge housing to repel dust and undesirable particles.

In addition, the Galaxy Z Fold2 pairs Flex mode with App Continuity to provide expanded usability, crossing the boundary between the cover and main screen. This flexibility enables users to create or view content that is curated to their exact preferences, from folded to unfolded.

Samsung is offering an online tool to customise users Galaxy Z Fold2 with four distinct Hideaway Hinge colours - Metallic Silver, Metallic Gold, Metallic Red, and Metallic Blue.
