Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 rumoured to be lighter, won't come with S Pen

Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 is expected to retain the same form factor as the Galaxy Fold

The Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 is reportedly in active development, so the rumour mill has started churning. One of the newest leaks shares some details about the upcoming foldable device. The mobile device will reportedly be nearly 15% lighter than its predecessor at 229 grams (the Galaxy Fold weighed in at 263g). It will retain its form factor but will have a slightly bigger screen. It won't be coming with an S Pen, so if that's important to you, you will need to take note of that development (pun unintended). 

The Galaxy Fold 2 is also rumoured to come in two colours that were initially supposed to be available for the Galaxy Fold: Martian Green and Astro Blue. Samsung reportedly plans to use the same manufacturing lines to build the Galaxy Fold 2 so that it can yield more units to meet more expected demand. 

As GSMArena points out, though, there might not be a change in sales numbers because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting uncertainty across global markets, even if the manufacturing process is cheaper. Samsung is expected to lower the price tag further by offering different memory combinations.
