Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Launch Event: How to Watch, Time and Specifications

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is finally slated to launch globally, later today. The new generation foldable phone was unveiled at Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked 2020 event earlier in August, and its overall set of specifications have been revealed already. However, Samsung had mentioned at the time of the event that it will reveal extensive details about the Galaxy Z Fold 2 later this year, and tonight’s announcement is expected to reveal key information such as countries of availability and price.

Samsung’s first foldable phone, the Galaxy Fold, faced considerable criticism in terms of its durability of the folding hinge, and also courted questions regarding the usability of the novel form factor. Samsung then followed it up with the Galaxy Z Fold, a clamshell folder design that did not have much going on in the outer shell, and opened up to a familiar candy bar Android phone form factor. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, on this note, is expected to be improve on both the devices – in terms of durability, specifications and maybe even pricing.
