Galaxy Z Fold2 Overview

For any foldable device to really be a success, it will need to remain thin when closed. The Galaxy Z Fold2 is around 17mm. As a reference, the Galaxy S20, with the same 6.2″ display size is 7.9mm thick.

After releasing two foldable devices and listening to user feedback on the most requested upgrades and new features, Samsung unveils the Galaxy Z Fold2 with meaningful innovations that offer users enhanced refinements and unique foldable user experiences.
