During the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 presentation event, the Korean company claimed that the second generation of the first folding smartphone would hit the market in the fall without specifying a specific date. While that date arrives, and Samsung specifies a little more, we already have the first video review of the Galaxy Z Fold2.
This video review, whose production is quite good if not excellent, shows us all the Features of the second generation of Samsung's foldable smartphone. But in addition, it also physically compares it to the first generation so that we can get an idea of the important changes that have come with the Fold2.
One of the main features of the Z Fold2 is the new hinge system, the same that we can find in the Z Flip and that allow us to place the smartphone in any position to take pictures, consult information, use it as a GPS in the vehicle, record stabilized and aligned videos ...
Another important novelty, which also affects both its aesthetics and its functionality is the exterior screen, an exterior screen that allows us to use the smartphone without having to open it, since this has 6,3 inches by the 4,6 of the first generation.
This screen can be used as rear camera viewfinder, so it is not necessary to open the device to be able to take pictures or videos. In addition, by offering better resolution and quality than the front camera, it is ideal for taking selfies or vblogs.
