Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 5G comes up in a hands-on video, retains the display crease

Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G along with the Note 20 series of smartphones in India. The Z Fold 2 is set to go on sale in September and Samsung is yet to hand out review units to media houses. Hence, if you are interested in the phone, you will have to rely on the unboxing video that Samsung shared during the launch. Thankfully, we now have a live hands-on video of the Galaxy Fold 2 5G via TikTok.

A tipster on Twitter has shared a TikTok video from China showing the Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G. The phone is shown from multiple angles, including the hinge and the outer display. The video starts from the main display fully unfolded. While it is booting up, there’s a permanent crease visible in the middle of the display, similar to the Samsung Galaxy Fold. The bezels appear to be slimmer than the older model.

As the video progresses, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G splits the camera interface into half. The viewfinder sits on one-half of the min display whereas the controls are pushed closer to the hand. You also get to see the OneUI interface with the refresh rate settings. As you know, the Fold 2’s main display has a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. However, you can also choose the adaptive mode with a lower refresh rate of 60Hz.
