Early hands-on videos leak of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2

At its Galaxy Unpacked event earlier this month, Samsung officially showed off the Galaxy Z Fold 2, the second-gen model of its horizontally folding smartphone. Although we won’t get all the details about the device until Samsung’s dedicated event for the device on September 1, we’re already getting some real-world peeks at the foldable out in the wild.

A few videos have appeared online ahead of the device’s launch. One video on TikTok by user @digitalsight (h/t @yabishekhd) provides a brief look at the device in its Mystic Black color. We can see how thick the device is when it’s folded. We can also see how the dialer looks on the cover display and the main display when it’s unfolded. The video also shows the boot animation, the lockscreen, the camera app with a split view, and the refresh rate settings page that allows users to choose between 60Hz or 120Hz.

Another video on YouTube by YouTuber Jimmy Is Promo highlights the device’s beautiful design, from its improved hinge to the triple camera setup. While neither video provides new information about the device, including a release date or price, they’ll help tide people over until that information is made available.

Compared to the first model, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is a massive upgrade. It features a 6.23-inch AMOLED cover display, a 7.6-inch AMOLED folding screen, 12GB of RAM, a total battery capacity of 4,500mAh, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus processor. It also comes equipped with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and 256GB of storage.

When the Galaxy Z Fold 2 becomes available, it will launch with One UI 2.5 based on Android 10, which will allow users to navigate using Android 10’s gestures with third-party launchers.
