The Galaxy Z Fold 2 features a main screen size of 7.59 inches, a secondary screen of 6.23 inches, comfortable for everyone to use, allowing messaging and email checking directly on the secondary screen, super convenient. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 also comes with a thin glass panel for the screen combined with a 120Hz refresh rate for an even smoother experience.
In terms of specifications, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is equipped with the Snapdragon 865+ chip, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal memory, powerful enough for users to play the most graphics-intensive games at the perfect speed.
Regarding battery life, the 4500mAh battery for the Galaxy Z Fold 2 provides users with an ideal usage time. With just one charge a day, it's enough for work and entertainment.
Those are the specifications that Samsung has provided, but do users actually feel satisfied with the Galaxy Z Fold 2 phone? Let's follow some typical feedback right away.
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 from the user's perspective
According to Ms. Vân, a loyal Samsung customer, “After a day of experience, everything is fine, the screen is extremely beautiful, the speaker is great. The most surprising part is the battery, with only 4,500 mAh, it can be on screen for 6-7 hours if using the external screen to check messages, watching movies, playing games. The only downside is that it's a bit heavy, but after a day of use, it's not uncomfortable anymore. After using it, holding the Note 10 feels as light as paper”. Indeed, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 with its folding design cannot be thin and light.
Mr. Phan Trung Hiếu, from the perspective of someone experiencing it in the store, shared, “As the first Samsung Android phone that I find the keyboard typing as smooth as on iPhone. However, the price is quite high, which is a point that hasn't touched me enough to own it. I rate this as a right direction for Samsung and hope for the next products with a stronger battery and more reasonable price”.
A 5-star review for the Galaxy Z Fold 2 phone “Bought and used it, very smooth, beautiful photos, it's not even worth discussing, just one word QUALITY”.
An anonymous customer after using the Galaxy Z Fold 2 for 3 months left very detailed feedback as follows:
- Calling: If using the main screen and there's an incoming call, folding it to listen makes the call disconnect, which is a bit inconvenient
- Messaging: The outer screen is small and the inner screen is too large, so it takes about a month to get used to the keyboard, making texting inconvenient. Especially with Zalo chat, there's no line break, you have to make notes of the conversation and then copy it into Zalo, which is really annoying
- Photo Album: Doesn't organize photos into the same folder like iPhone, lacks the 'timeline' feature to view and retrieve photos/videos. This phone categorizes folders: screenshots, self-captured photos, web downloaded photos, Facebook downloaded photos, Zalo downloaded photos... sometimes it's overwhelming, it's too modern and drains battery, you can't remember where everything is.
- Battery: Even with a large screen, it doesn't drain quickly
- 5G Connection: Lightning-fast speed, using apps like File Explorer to view data is much faster than iPhone (I've been using iPhones for 12 years through many generations).
- Screen protector application is a challenge. Even taking it to the shop, many protectors get ruined, and finding a protective case is also difficult. There's no perfect case for folding phones like this. Touching the screen gets dirty easily, leaves more fingerprints than iPhone
- Have to be careful holding it all day because it's too heavy and easy to drop. But the good thing is it has a 2-year warranty, so it's not too much pressure
In summary, using it is eye-opening, enjoying music, watching movies, and working in the office are convenient, but there are also many drawbacks, sometimes it makes you want to go crazy.
Conclusion
Overall, many users are satisfied with the camera, performance, and many other experiences that the Galaxy Z Fold 2 phone brings. The downside may lie in its large size, making it quite heavy and also making it difficult to find a suitable case.
But nonetheless, the folding design of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 phone is an exciting experience among the current bar-shaped smartphone designs.
