Samsung improves on foldables with the Galaxy Z Fold 2

After a very rocky start, Samsung has been taking notes and steadily improving its foldable devices. The new Galaxy Z Fold 2 is a testament to this promise. It now comes with bigger displays and a hideaway hinge that's even better than the one on the Galaxy Z Flip.

The Galaxy Z Fold 2 has a bigger Cover screen (its external display) at 6.2 inches with a 2,260 x 816 resolution. The Super AMOLED screen now covers the entire front of the device. It comes at a tall 25:9 aspect ratio, an improvement from the bezel-ridden 4.6-inch screen of the previous generation foldable.

Inside, the main screen is bigger, too, at 7.6 inches with a 2,208 x 1,768 resolution. The Dynamic AMOLED screen has a 22.5:18 aspect ratio and an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. It also now incorporates Ultra Thin Glass for better image quality and feel.

Here's your best look at the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2

Samsung teased the Galaxy Z Fold 2 during the recent Unpacked event. But the new foldable device is getting a dedicated launch on September 1. Ahead of the event, we get a substantial look at the latest iteration of the foldable phone through this video review. It is in Mandarin, though, so you may or may not understand what's being said. 

The highly-produced video gives us a great look at the device in action, with the reviewers using Maps, playing games, taking selfies, and even showing off the richer speaker sound. Placed beside the first Fold, you can see that the display has gotten thinner and larger. The huge camera cutout is swapped for a punch-hole cutout for the selfie shooter. It also shows the improved hinge, which leaks claim leaves the phone fully enclosed to avoid dust from getting in. Watching the review, does it excite you to see the new Galaxy Z Fold 2?
