The Galaxy Z Fold 2 was unveiled last week and it immediately became clear that it brings a lot of improvements over the original Galaxy Fold. The improvements made to the display are most noticeable. The cover and internal displays have both seen their size bulge up, with the cover display the biggest increase.
A few images have surfaced online from South Korea really putting into perspective the display enhancements that Samsung has made for the Galaxy Z Fold 2. This should help you get a sense of how much the usable display area has been increased on this new device .
Galaxy Z Fold 2 makes some serious gains for display area
The cover of the Galaxy Fold measured 4.6 inches and because of its aspect ratio it felt a bit cramped. The big increase was the only way to improve that user experience. Samsung did this on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 by equipping it with a 6.2-inch cover display.
De image marks just how big a difference there is between the usable display areas of both devices. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 is also helped by the fact that it does not have very chunky bezels, while its front camera is placed inside the display panel itself.
The size increase for the internal display is relatively modest. Samsung removed the notch that was present on the Galaxy Fold to increase the display size from 7.3-inch to 7.6-inch. It is pertinent to note that Samsung was able to make all these changes without significantly increasing the footprint of the device.
A separate image also puts into perspective how thin the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is compared to its predecessor. When it falls, it measures 16.8mm at its thickest point as opposed to 17.1mm and 13.8mm at its thinnest point instead of 15.7mm.
This really should help Samsung fans see the Galaxy Z Fold 2 in a new light. Those who can not wait to get their hands on one, have to wait until September 1st. That’s when Samsung will reveal more information about the device, including its full specs. That is also when pre-orders will be opened.
