Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G renders get leaked

It's not a tech event or a Samsung event unless most devices get leaked ahead of time. This time, we're getting a better look at Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G. MySmartPrice got their hands on high-resolution renders of the phone from a "trusted source." The foldable device will reportedly come in the new Mystic Black and Mystic Bronze colours. And it'll feature the same book-like, folding mechanism of the original Galaxy Z Fold. 

But now Samsung drops the camera notch for a punch-hole, for both the inner 7.7-inch Super AMOLED primary display and outer 6.23-inch Super AMOLED Cover screen. The external display has thinner bezels, too. Samsung also reportedly worked on the hinge mechanism to make it better than the first-generation model. The triple-camera setup at the back looks similar to the rumoured design of the Galaxy Note 20, which will be launched alongside this foldable gadget on August 5.

Samsung is about to introduce several products at its upcoming Unpacked event. The star will definitely be the Galaxy Note 20 series. The Galaxy Z Flip 5, Galaxy Tab S7 and Tab S7+, Galaxy Buds Live, and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 are expected to make an appearance. However, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 might not be launched at the event. 

Max Weinbach, an industry insider and a writer at XDA Developers, says he is 60% sure Samsung won't mention the foldable device at the event and 100% sure it won't make an appearance at all. Weinbach claims claiming that the software for it isn't close to being ready, and we haven't heard much about its hardware either. He estimates that the Galaxy Z Fold 2 will be announced in early September with a target release of early October. If that is true, there are still many devices that Samsung will be announcing on August 5.
