Samsung teases Galaxy Z Fold 2 Thom Browne Edition

In case you didn't think the Galaxy Z Fold 2 was premium enough, Samsung will release a special Thom Browne Edition of the foldable device. It gets the fashion imprint's signature mix of the coloured stripes against a gray backdrop, with the camera module matching the design. Like the Thom Browne Edition of the Galaxy Z Flip, the phone should come with matching versions of the Galaxy Buds Live and Galaxy Watch 3.

And this special bundle will for sure cost a pretty penny, making it Samsung's most expensive phone to date. While we don't have a price yet, the Galaxy Z Flip came out at US$2,480 (around CA$3,240). The Galaxy Z Fold 2 is expected to carry a higher starting price than $1,980 ($2,586), so don't be surprised if the Thom Browne Edition of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 crosses the $3,000 ($3,919) mark.

This special edition Galaxy Z Fold 2 is seen in greater detail in this new video from Samsung. As we expected, the phone crosses a new pricing threshold. It retails for US$3,300 (around CA$4,314), and it includes matching Galaxy Watch 3 and Galaxy Buds Live. This luxury variant is aiming for those with a lot of money to burn, and those aiming for a bit of exclusivity. There will only be 5,000 units of this Thom Browne edition.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, it comes as no surprise that rumours are going around that Samsung will be moving its upcoming Unpacked event online. The company will reportedly unveil its Galaxy Note 20 lineup on August 5. We're expecting to see the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra (which will reportedly replace the Note 20+). 

Aside from that, Samsung will supposedly launch the Galaxy Fold 2 as well. Samsung leaker Ice Universe said on Chinese blogging site Weibo that there are even more devices expected to be showcased during the Unpacked event, including the Galaxy Z Flip 5G, Tab S7, Tab S7+, as well as the Galaxy Watch 2. If there's any truth to these rumours, we can expect a pretty packed Unpacked event.

If you've been waiting for the next iteration of the Galaxy Note and Galaxy Fold series, then you will appreciate this news. Samsung addressed the future of the Galaxy Note20 and Galaxy Fold 2 during its recent Q1 2020 earnings report—although the confirmation is a bit vague.

The company said, "For the second half, amid uncertainties including the possibility of a prolonged pandemic, market competition is forecast to intensify as manufacturers strive to recover from the weakness in the first half. The Company will continue to offer differentiated products in the premium segment with the launch of new foldable and Note models." So, if we believe this statement, we can expect the Galaxy Note20 and Fold 2 to arrive sometime in August. Which device would you be more excited to see?

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).
