Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G - Bronze SM-F916BZNAXNZ review

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G is a piece of the future that you can try out right now. That may be great, but it comes at a price. Samsung wants just under €2,000 for its innovative smartphone, for which you will receive a premium device that still has a sensitive folding screen.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Review

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 fixes many of the flaws of the original to deliver a foldable big-screen experience that really works, for the first folding phone we recommend. Samsung's third folding phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 2, costs $1,999. That's a high price, but the Z Fold 2 is also the most elegant take on the most innovative new smartphone form factor we've seen in years. It also does what a third-generation product should: It keeps the great ideas from the first Fold, fixes the obvious flaws, adds some learnings from the Galaxy Z Flip, and translates all of that into a folding phone that has the right flagship specs for the price and a real point of view. So while the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is expensive, it's also the only folding smartphone we think is worth recommending right now.The Case for Folding Phones Folding and dual-screen phones exist because people keep wanting bigger screens, but they don't want to have to carry a tablet in their pocket. That makes sense. A lot of things are better on a bigger screen, like games, reading, spreadsheets, and even video chat. But there's a boundary at about three inches wide where it becomes impossible to easi...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 review: A fully functional foldable

Foldables are going to play a role in the future of smartphones. Even if they seem expensive, fragile, and compromised right now, they won’t be forever. Just seeing the progression in quality from the first Galaxy Fold, which had a horrendous launch, to the quality of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 indicates that the industry is headed in the right direction. But you don’t buy a foldable phone, particularly one that’s $2,000, because it’s part of a progression of new technology. You buy it because of what it does for you right now, and what it offers beyond what you get from a regular smartphone. Here’s everything the Galaxy Z Fold 2 brings to the table to justify its sky-high price. The new Galaxy Z Fold 2 follows the same concept as its predecessor: A mini tablet-sized device, bisected by a big hinge, with a folding screen on the inside and an additional “cover display” on the outside. But it’s not hyperbole to say that Samsung has touched every bit of the execution of that concept for this gen...

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 review

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is the only foldable phone you should consider buying in 2020 if you want to maximize that satisfying ‘wow’ factor when showing it off. It feels like you own a smartphone from the future when you collapse its tablet-sized screen in half, and the larger front display and stronger hinge fix the biggest Gen 1 issues. Be warned: it’s still priced for early adopters and the cameras on the Note 20 Ultra are better.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 review: Your new flexible friend

Of all the manufacturers to try and create a folding smartphone with one big tablet-sized screen inside, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is the most complete package. It's a huge improvement on the first-generation device in terms of design, but issues remain with the flexible display market still being relatively young. Oh, and it's really expensive.

In a year nobody could’ve predicted, where each day seemed hell-bent on eclipsing the former with fresh horror, surprise, or both, it’s been tough to stand out as a category-defining gadget.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G Mystic Bronze SM-F916BZNAXNZ review

The best way to describe the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is that it's a powerful handset and a pleasure to use. It may not have the best battery life or the most impressive camera, but it does successfully deliver a reliable smartphone that transforms into a tablet.
