Galaxy Fold 2 is under process : Samsung announces sequel of Galaxy Fold

Samsung announces the launch of their second foldable phone, the Galaxy Fold 2.

Expected specifications

Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 will come with an “ultra-thin glass cover”. The new material will replace the plastic material used in the original Galaxy Fold. The  Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 will offer a flatter display and have lesser wrinkles.

Samsung recently applied for trademarks in Europe for “Samsung Ultra Thin Glass”. Samsung, however, isn’t alone in the efforts to get glass on the foldable phones. Smartphone glass maker Corning has already confirmed it was working on flexible glass. The company disclosed it was developing flexible glass that’s roughly 0.1mm thick and can be bent to a 5mm radius. Corning, however, admitted the solution wasn’t perfect, yet.

“The back of the problem we’re trying to break, the technical challenge is, can you keep those tight 3- to 5-millimeter bend radii and also increase the damage resistance of the glass,” Corning’s Senior Vice President and General Manager John Bayne told the Wire earlier this year.

As far as Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 goes, the company has already disclosed a new clamshell design for the foldable phone. The design is quite similar to what Motorola has embraced for its Moto Razr 2019 foldable phone.
