Samsung will unveil more details about the Galaxy Z Fold 2 at the “Unpacked Part 2” event on September 1st

When the Galaxy Z Fold 2 launches later this year, it could cost €1999. At least, that’s according to a new report from Roland Quandt at WinFuture.de.

Announced earlier this month, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is Samsung’s latest attempt at the foldable smartphone. When the first-generation Galaxy Fold originally launched, it was plagued by display issues that caused its general availability to be pushed back. The next-generation model looks to have addressed the flaws of the original.

For one, Samsung has opted to add a later of Ultra Thin Glass like on the Galaxy Z Flip. Samsung also expanded the outer display to a much-larger 6.23 inches, while the main display is now an expansive 7.59 inches. There’s also now a single hole punch cutout for a selfie camera instead of a long notch.

Some of the device’s other notable specs are the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 Plus chip, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, 4,500mAh battery, and a triple-camera setup with a primary 12MP sensor. The device will also be the first with the Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 mobile connectivity subsystem. If the Z Fold 2 really is going to launch for €1999, consumers are at least getting the specs and design to match.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Forums

Although Samsung has tried to keep some mystery surrounding the Galaxy Z Fold 2, we’ve seen it out in the wild on more than one occasion, even recently appearing in a five minute review on YouTube.

Samsung opened up an online reservation system a few weeks ago without revealing the final retail price or even a release date. When the original Galaxy Fold launched last year, it cost $1,980 in the U.S. If WinFuture is to be believed, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 will launch at a comparable, if not lower, price. The publication has a stellar track record when it comes to leaks, but there’s always a chance that pricing information obtained from retailers before launch is inaccurate. We’ll know for sure on September 1st at 10:00AM EST, though, because that’s when Samsung will host “Unpacked Part 2” to unveil all the details of the new foldable device.
