New Galaxy Fold to Support 108MP Camera & 5x Zoom
December 15, 2019
Samsung Electronics president Young Sohn said the company sold 1m Fold’s in 2019 vs. the expected 500,000, but according to Yonhap News, a spokesperson for the company clarified that Sohn might have confused the actual sales figures with the company's initial sales target for the year. The 2020 goal is 6 million foldable devices and 20 million in 2021. The next foldable Samsung, assumed to be called the Galaxy Fold 2, already has some general details leaked about its hardware, pricing and release date.
The direct successor to the Galaxy Fold will appear around August 2020, The new clamshell-style foldable has been estimated to cost 1 million Korean Won, which is around $840 converted, the cheapest except for the drug lord’s brother’s Fold1.
The Motorola Razr priced at $1,500, which it manages to achieve through a smaller size and less powerful components. This is the route the Galaxy Fold 2 will likely take in order to achieve a similar cost. The brand new clamshell design of the Fold 2 was first seen at a Samsung One UI developer event. The design looks like the Motorola Razr foldable released this month, folding out into a large phone rather than the small tablet of the Galaxy Fold. It’s since appeared in renders by LetsGoDigital, which you can see below. This design, including what’s been described by a patent as a ‘Samsung Hideaway Hinge,' is assumed to work similarly to the Razr’s hinge system. This system bends the screen tightly but within the phone’s frame, avoiding the semi-open design of the Galaxy Fold that not only made the phone larger to carry around but left the important inner displays uncovered and damageable. The direct successor to the Galaxy Fold may be based on the W20 5G, the foldable Samsung revealed in Beijing in early November. This is almost identical to the Galaxy Fold, but it has a new exterior frame that means it can now close tighter, hopefully preventing damage from debris getting under or between the two internal displays.
The new Galaxy Fold will be compatible with the S Pen stylus, usually found with the Galaxy Note series. With a larger display possibly larger than even the 6.8-inch Note 10 Plus. Assume that like other inward-folding foldables, there will be three places for cameras: front, rear and interior. There’s six in total on the Galaxy Fold (three rear, one on the front and two inside), while the Razr uses two, with one doubling up as both the front and rear camera based on how you're using the phone. The original Fold has a 5G version, and while this new version looks to be a lot smaller and cheaper, 5G compatibility is now coming as standard with the latest generation of system-on-chips (including the new Snapdragon 865). Depending on which CPU Samsung puts in the Fold 2, it could be 5G by default, or it may try to sell a 4G model and a 5G model like it did with the original Fold. Currently the Galaxy Fold runs on a Snapdragon 855 CPU, but the W20 5G, an upgraded derivative, uses a Snapdragon 855 Plus chip. There’s also a chance that a new Galaxy Fold would use the newest high-performance Qualcomm chip, the Snapdragon 865, but Samsung may not do this for pricing, much like how the Motorola Razr uses a mid-range Snapdragon 710 in its new foldable flagship. The smaller half of the Galaxy Fold 2’s battery system has a 900 mAh capacity, and its counterpart should be a lot larger. The Galaxy Fold has a capacity of 4,380 mAh (4,235 mAh on the 5G model), which is plenty for full unfolded use, while the Razr has 2,510 mAh of capacity, which is fairly small. If the Fold 2 could have a total capacity somewhere between these phones, it should have enough juice to last for a day of normal usage.
Less than three months are remaining before MWC 2020, where it is generally regarded that Samsung will launch its next-generation Galaxy S phones, consisting of the Samsung Galaxy S11+, Galaxy S11, and the Galaxy S11e. The leaks and renders up until now have pointed to the Galaxy S11+ having a five-camera setup with a 108MP primary camera, a telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, an ultra-wide-angle lens, a TOF sensor, and more. The phone will have a 6.9-inch 20:9 display with a centered hole punch. It will be powered either by the Exynos 990 or the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 depending on region. Its battery size has been leaked via a South Korean certification database. The Galaxy S11+ will probably have a 5,000mAh battery – the largest Samsung has ever placed in a flagship phone.
The Galaxy S11+’s battery size was leaked via the SafetyKorea South Korean certification database. It shows a photo of a Samsung battery with model number EB-BG988ABY. This matches up with the battery of a Samsung phone with the model number SM-G988. Thanks to previous leaks, that phone is now certain to be the Galaxy S11+.

- A new report says that the next Galaxy Fold will share the 108-MP camera and 5x zoom with the Galaxy S11.
- The latest unofficial render of the Galaxy Fold 2, based on a Samsung hinge patent, shows how the final phone could look.
- An estimate made by a Korean Samsung analyst puts the price of the Galaxy Fold 2 at around $840, which is far cheaper than any other foldable phone.
- Expect a variety of foldable Samsung phones and the Galaxy S11 around February 2020,
