The followup to the Samsung Galaxy Fold is expected to be announced next month at the Galaxy Unpacked event taking place on February 11, so this conceptual Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 identifies the kind of features we could see being unveiled.
The device is first and foremost characterized by its folding design that transitions from clamshell to full-size smartphone with one swift movement. This makes the device highly portable and could even help to improve battery life by allowing users to check notifications via the small notification display on the exterior instead of constantly waking the AMOLED screen.
The Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 is part of the continued redesign of the bar-shaped smartphone to help offer consumers a new alternative to their existing device.
