Samsung Plans September 1st Unpacked Event to Fully Reveal Galaxy Z Fold 2
Samsung schedules a dedicated virtual event for September 1st to officially unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 2, kicking off pre-orders on the same day. Consumers still wait for official pricing and a specific release date for the upgraded foldable smartphone.
Samsung hosts a dedicated "Unpacked Part 2" event on September 1st at 10AM ET to properly unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 2. The company streams this presentation online instead of making an appearance at the IFA trade show in Berlin due to ongoing concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.
Most of the hardware details about the foldable device already leak ahead of the official event, confirming a larger external screen, a redesigned hinge, and a Snapdragon 865 Plus chipset. Because the core specifications are already well-known, the upcoming presentation focuses primarily on practical details like final pricing and official release dates.
Pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Fold 2 open simultaneously with the event on September 1st, though Samsung keeps the exact cost under wraps. Industry experts expect the price to hover near the original model's two-thousand-dollar launch price, with major US carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon confirming they will carry the device.
