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.

Much bigger front Cover Display; Refined second-gen hinge; Improved split-screen software;

As expensive as phones come; Lacks Samsung’s best cameras; No microSD card slot

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.

Big screen is a great platform for reading and games; More split-screen room for multi-window multi-tasking; Well-built hinge and more durable than first-gen; Outer screen more useful this time around; Versatile camera system;

Plastic screen film causes excessive smudging and feels 'sticky'; Main screen isn't the most responsive; Quite chunky in hand when folded; Very expensive;

Better folding. Samsung has made numerous improvements to the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G compared to its predecessor. There is a new hinge with more options, almost full screen displays and better battery life, for example. But the high price has remained from last year's model.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G is a piece of the future that you can try out right now. That may be g...

great, flexible hinge; high-quality build; large screens with narrow bezels; good software customisation; precise GPS module; plenty of power; fast Wi-Fi performance; good memory capacity; balanced speakers; long battery life;

the screen is still sensitive; awfully expensive; bulky to carry around in a trouser pocket; throttling under load; average microphones; Dual-SIM connectivity only with an eSIM;

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.

Versatile app layouts thanks to Flex Mode, Sturdy hinge and bigger screens, Decent camera system

No Micro SD card slot, Average battery life, Bulky in size and weight

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2 5G is a glimmer of hope that foldable phones can be excellent. It isn’t the best camera phone around, nor does it charge the fastest - but who cares? It folds and doesn’t do anything badly. Everything the Z Fold2 does, it does at least well. It’s reassuring (glorious-looking) design delights every time you look at it, and the masterful hinge makes the two-in-one functionality we’ve been craving a reality. A handsome front-display only adds to the utility and enjoyment the phone delivers. At £1,799 for the 256GB storage version, it doesn’t matter how good it is; the Galaxy Z Fold2 won’t appeal to most people. Nevertheless, the annals of technology history will remember the Samsung Galaxy Fold2 as the first foldable that was great - all-fold, no caveats.

Great screens; Solid hinge mechanism; Plenty of power;

Visible crease; Expensive; Good, but not great cameras;

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...

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.

Fully usable both open and closed; More durable than previous models; Excellent performance

Expensive; Android multi-window mode feels tacked on; Awkwardly placed speakers

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is the foldable smartphone you have always wanted.

Foldable screen is an innovative technology that has created a whole new form factor. In addition, the mobile comes with configuration and features from the top shelf.

Very, very expensive, and the camera is not quite as good as one should expect for the price. App continuity does not work with all apps.
