Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G will seemingly come with a pretty high refresh rate according to a new leaked video.
The video comes from user Digital Sight over on TikTok (via Android Police). The short video doesn’t just focus on the refresh rate, but rather different aspects of the phone and mostly just the design in what feels like a short hands-on video.
Samsung officially acknowledged the Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G during Unpacked back on August 5, but the refresh rate isn’t something that was discussed. In fact the company didn’t talk much about the phone at all in regards to its hardware specifications.
Other than the refresh rate you get a quick look at the device both closed and unfolded. And since Samsung didn’t show off much of the device at its own event, another look isn’t exactly a bad thing for anyone interested in the device.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G comes with a 120Hz refresh rate
The leaked video isn’t long, and it doesn’t show off everything about the phone. It does however briefly showcase the device’s refresh rate options.
And in this case it looks like Samsung is utilizing the 120Hz refresh rate again. A number of the brand’s devices already have a 120Hz refresh rate. Most recently the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G.
Keeping that in mind this is a variable refresh rate. Which means you can’t set the device to stay at 120Hz all of the time. Instead it works to change and adjust based on the content. So when the content calls for a refresh rate of 120Hz, then screen adapts and scales up if it’s able.
This is likely the same case with the Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G. As the video shows a minimum of a 60Hz refresh rate and a maximum of the 120Hz. This should make for some smooth scrolling when using this device.
A quick peek at the dialer and other features
In addition to the refresh rate and the open and closed design, the video gives a quick peek at the dialer app and a couple of other features.
All of the text is in Chinese so it’s hard to make out what anything says. But you do get a look at the camera app which can take up the whole display when the device is unfolded. You can also see the lock screen.
The most interesting part though is how the camera app works. It doesn’t just take up the whole display. It separates the controls like the shutter button and other settings from the viewfinder. Though this may only be when the display is slightly folded like it is in the video.
