Index – Technology-Science – Samsung has folded a new luxury mobile phone

Samsung created a completely unique category last year with the Z Fold mobile with a folding screen, and continued the series by correcting minor or major flaws in the innovative model. The Fold 2 also looks like a luxury phone from the outside, after the screen has increased significantly in size to 6.2 inches, but the internal screen diagonal has also increased, from 7.3 inches last year to 7.6. Mainly due to the disappearance of the camera island from the upper right corner, the freestanding lens was moved to a small hole and partly because the phone got wider.

It’s also a big leap in quality that the OLED panel’s maximum image refresh is 120Hz, so all moving content scrolls smoothly and is easy to follow with the naked eye. But this is not only extremely important, the image refresh can go down to 11 Hz depending on the content we are watching. We have already experienced in the original Fold that it is especially good to read e-books and studies published in pdf in this size, and it makes the power consumption very good that they do not exceed the image update in such cases. The built-in speaker is stereo.

Another big change in quality is that the Z Fold 2 has a new hinge, and thanks to this, it is able to stably lock even in a half-open state, as if we were putting a small laptop in our hands. The modern Z Flip has already been able to do this, and we can make good use of it, especially with the camera. You can video conference by leaving the device on your desk. By the way, the camera software switches to a special mode when it is deployed, in addition to the viewer, it shows our previous photo so that we can see our work without entering the gallery.

Speaking of the camera, it’s worth mentioning that, like the Note 20 introduced this fall, the Z Fold 2 has received a professional video mode in which you can trigger a brightness histogram, monitor stereo sound levels, and choose which microphones you want to use. If you are not satisfied with the quality of the built-in recorders, you can also choose a wired or bluetooth microphone. There is also a portrait photography mode in which the photographer looks at the large internal screen while the model can see himself on the external screen.

The Fold 2 has also been provided with a software setting to make the transition between using the external and internal display smoother. For example, it was resolved that video launched on the outer panel on the inner screen would continue smoothly and exactly where we held it.

There can be three program windows on the big screen at the same time, as before, their layout and size can be changed relatively freely. The area can be divided both horizontally and vertically, and the drag-and-drop method works with certain applications, which means that you can easily transfer graphics, images, and text from one application to another. In the presentation, they only took their own applications as an example, in addition to Microsoft, Word, Excel and Outlook, which is not so surprising because the Redmond company has been cooperating with Samsung for a long time.

The biometric security system of the Fold 2 consists of two components, one is the facial recognition of the camera and the other is a fingerprint reader sensor on the side that did not work very reliably on the first Fold, it was difficult to hit first to completely cover the surface of our fingers and in the bent mobile hand he tried to read the folds of his palm until he denied himself – we are sure this error has been eliminated.

Bitang has a fast eight-core processor in the Fold 2, 256GB or 512GB of storage and 12GB of RAM packed alongside it, and it has everything from networking tech: 5G connectivity in a lower microwave band (less than 6Ghz ) and built in the USA millimeter wavelength and handles the latest wifi 6 standard. Its 4500 mAh battery will be enough for a day based on your experience with the first Fold. Only the 256GB version will be available here, which makes it dizzying
