Exclusive: Galaxy Fold 2 will get a 256GB model for a lower starting price

Samsung has already launched a foldable smartphone this year but the Galaxy Z Flip is not the successor to the Galaxy Fold. The company is due to launch the latest iteration of its original foldable smartphone later this year. While it’s not known for sure what Samsung will end up calling the device, we can call it the Galaxy Fold 2 for now.

We have received some information about the Galaxy Fold 2 which suggests that it’s going to have a lower barrier of entry compared to its predecessor. Samsung will offer a model with 256GB of base storage at a lower price point.

Galaxy Fold 2 will have a lower starting price

At $1,980, the Galaxy Fold was the most expensive smartphone that Samsung ever offered. It had the latest tech specs and there was only one model available with 512GB storage. There wasn’t an option to go for less storage to save a couple of hundred dollars.

We hear that the Galaxy Fold 2, model number SM-F916 in particular, is going to feature 256GB of internal storage. There will be two models of the SM-F91x, the other with 512GB storage. This split will enable Samsung to lower the cost of entry to the Galaxy Fold lineup. With the exceptional response that Samsung has seen for the $1,400 Galaxy Z Flip, the company knows that bringing the price down a bit for the Galaxy Fold 2 will certainly help mainstream the device.

The Galaxy Fold 2 is expected to feature a larger cover display than the 4.6-inch one on its predecessor. The foldable display may also see an increase in size to 7.7-inch compared to 7.3-inch. It’s expected to be an Infinity-O panel with a punch hole for the selfie camera instead of the unusual notch that Samsung went with for the Galaxy Fold.

There has been some speculation about S Pen support for the Galaxy Fold 2 as well but it hasn’t been backed up with much evidence. Samsung will also ship a robust camera setup with the Galaxy Fold 2. Reports suggest that it may get the same camera setup as the Galaxy S20+. Aside from its flagship processor, RAM specs and 5G support, there’s also a good chance that the Galaxy Fold 2 may have a 4G variant as well (SM-F910).

We hear that the Galaxy Fold 2 is expected to arrive in Q3 this year. Many believe that it may be launched alongside the Galaxy Note 20 in August. We’ll let you know as soon as more information comes in about Samsung’s next foldable smartphone.

iOS 14 update release date, devices and everything you need to know

Tracking the iOS 14 update as news trickles in It may feel like iOS 13 only debuted yesterday, but that came out in September 2019 and we're set to get iOS 14 by the end of this year. The next big update for your iPhone is currently just rumored for now - Apple has yet to specifically confirm the name for the next piece of software - but it's very likely we'll be hearing officially about it soon. And given what was left out with iOS 13 and what new technology could be coming in the iPhone 12 we can make some educated guesses about what’s coming in the next big iOS update. Some of these are obvious, like support for 5G should Apple finally decide to release a 5G iPhone that works with the next-gen phone networks. If there's somehow an Apple foldable, well, iOS 14 will have software to make that work, too. Other iOS 14 features take a little bit of speculative leaps to imagine which tweaks Apple might make in its continual improvements on its iPhone operating system.

Save the Nature

Save the Nature Nature is the creation of Allah, who is Almighty of all and everything. I think every living being in this world cannot live without nature. So, when need to protect it, we started damaging it with our factories, nuclear waste, plastic and especially by developing big metropolitan cities on the land of forests without planting new trees.

We had put many of the species on the brink of extinction. As a god’s Favorite creation we were assigned the task to maintain the balance among every living being on this planet which is also very necessary for our lives. But due to our cruel thinking and nature we have destroyed it with our own hands. We are racing aga
