In the recent Samsung Unpacked event, aside from the Galaxy Note20 series, the most premium and noteworthy device was the Galaxy Z Fold 2, featuring a foldable screen and an upgrade from the Galaxy Fold in 2019. Samsung not only changed the product name but also made significant design modifications. Here, I'll summarize and compare the technical specifications of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Galaxy Fold.Design

Next is the hinge section, where Samsung redesigned the hinge of the Galaxy Z Fold 2, drawing inspiration from vacuum cleaner systems. This innovative design uses elastic synthetic fibers to sweep away dust, ensuring a clean hinge and reducing the risk of screen damage during multiple folds. Overall, it is thinner compared to the Galaxy Fold, with a smaller gap between the two screens.Camera
Regarding the camera, both generations share similar specifications. Perhaps for reference, we'll have to wait until we get our hands on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 for real-world photography. The three lenses on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 are arranged in a rectangular module with a glass cover, including a flash, similar to the Note20. Unlike the Galaxy Fold, the flash is not separate from the three simple cameras.
We will still have three different shooting scenarios with these three lenses, covering wide-angle, ultra-wide-angle, and telephoto for portrait shots. A notable change is the selfie camera within the Infinity-O cutout inside the screen, enhancing the aesthetics of the front. The resolution of the selfie camera remains consistent at 10 MP, whether the device is folded or unfolded.
Performance
The standout feature of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is its performance, driven by the new Snapdragon 865+ SoC with 5G support, providing top-of-the-line power in the current market. Tasks related to processing or entertainment on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 are expected to be incredibly smooth and fast. We'll await the actual device to run benchmark tests and speed tests, comparing it to the Galaxy Fold. In theory, there should be a significant difference between the Snapdragon 855 and Snapdragon 865+.
