Samsung to Launch Galaxy Fold 2 in Late 2019 or early 2020

The latest Galaxy Fold 2 release date rumors point to a launch in the first half of 2020. That’s a little vague, and given that the original Fold didn’t ultimately go on sale until September 2019 is probably also a little early, especially as we haven’t heard much about it yet.

Samsung has also patented numerous foldable phone designs. Many of these may never get used, but some might provide clues of what to expect.

We’ve seen for example the three possible designs above, one of which is a clamshell design, while the other two are closer to the current model.

Another patent meanwhile talks about a folding phone that works with a stylus, which could bring a future Fold closer to Samsung’s Galaxy Note range.

An earlier rumour also seems to agree, stating that Samsung could launch a new foldable in late 2019 or early 2020 – though notably this rumor is from all the way back in March, so plans may well have changed given the Fold’s delay in hitting stores.

These rumors followed an earlier report that Samsung was working on two new foldable phones, one of which is said to be a “clamshell-like device”, which could make it the device above.

The other is said to have a vertical fold like the original handset, but one that folds outwards, so the main screen is on the outside and always visible – it’s just either big or small depending on whether the phone is folded or unfolded. This sounds similar to the Huawei Mate X.
