Samsung has finally pulled the wraps from Galaxy Z Fold2. The latest foldable from Samsung features a series of improvements over its predecessor. Samsung claims the Galaxy Z Fold2 is much more robust and less prone to damages as compared to the first generation.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 Features and Specifications
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 comes equipped with a large 6.2-inch Super AMOLED display that offers a resolution of 2260×816 pixels.

The company has also added Ultra-Thin Glass for better visibility and improved display quality.
It is no secret that smartphones with foldable displays face a swath of structural issues. Samsung had to delay the Galaxy Fold launch to sort out design and structural issues. The Galaxy Z Fold2 features a third-generation hinge design that is reportedly better in many ways.
