Today Samsung has invited us to meet the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 to see, first-hand, everything that has changed with respect to the firm’s folding bet in 2019. After trying it for a few minutes, we left happier than expected.
This time we are not going to repeat the technical sheet of Samsung’s folding mobile but we are going to focus on how the most innovative mobile phone on the market feels in hand and whether or not it is appropriate to invest the 2009 euros that the smartphone costs in a device of these characteristics.
All desired enhancements
The device has improved in every way where it needed to improve. If you look at it from the front, as it is normally used, in the original you could see the fold of the screen but now it is practically imperceptible, giving the feeling that we are dealing with a much more traditional phone and that we are not viewing a flexible panel. The inner screen protection is much lighter and makes the appearance, added to the hole of the phone inherited from the Note and Galaxy S range, much more premium, allowing us to focus on the content while avoiding that unsightly Notch of the original Fold.
The external screen also improves with more size, full usability and infinite functions and being able to use it at the same time as the internal one, for example, to preview the photos we take with the camera is a point that adds to a fairly renewed user experience. all levels. Another example of this would be to be able to use several apps at the same time on its 7.6 ″ screen, hosting them in different places on the display.
The arrival of 120 Hz , for those of us who have become accustomed to this refresh rate, is a success because when you have tried a screen of these characteristics, it is difficult to go back a step. And on a screen of these characteristics it shows, a lot.
Extra points
At the performance level, zero hitches. The smartphone works at an incredible speed thanks to the use of the latest Qualcomm chipset and the support of the 8 GB of RAM that the phone has. The great sound quality offered by the Galaxy Z Fold2 is also surprising , something normal if we think that it is a smartphone that focuses, in addition to multitasking and the professional world, on the multimedia experience.
Perhaps we have been wanting to have a little more time to test its triple camera but it is something that we will be able to do shortly with our complete review of the phone.
It’s for everyone?
Obviously, we are facing a mobile that is at the forefront of innovation in the field of mobile telephony and hence its price is not suitable for all budgets. It is a phone that when folded is thick, not exaggerated but more than what we are used to and it does not seem made to carry in a pocket. It’s an impressive phone but one that takes some getting used to.
This new version of the Samsung folding turns out to be an evolution with respect to the brand’s first option with a flexible screen and of course if you want to indulge yourself, it is the best you can find in the market today.
