The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 got fully announced today. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 is arguably the most interesting device Samsung ever introduced, and it’s time to take a closer look at its specifications.
We’ve already covered the initial launch of the device, for those of you who are wondering. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 does have quite powerful specifications, so there’s plenty to look forward to here.
The device features two displays. The main display, the one that folds, measures 7.6 inches. That is a QHD+ (2208 x 1768) Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, and it has support for HDR10+ content.
The other display, the one that doesn’t fold, measures 6.2 inches. That is a 2260 x 816 Super AMOLED display. This panel offers a 60Hz refresh rate, though.
Both of those displays are flat, in case you were wondering. The one on the inside is a UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) panel with a plastic layer on top of it. The one on the outside is your regular display with Corning’s Gorilla Glass on top of it.
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 offers powerful specifications, including the Snapdragon 865 Plus

The device packs in 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 256GB of non-expandable UFS 3.1 flash storage. So, Samsung included the last-gen RAM and UFS storage in here, as expected.
