Design and display
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2: At a glance
The Galaxy Z Fold 2 will retain the shape of the original Fold and the same book-like out-folding design.
However, the external shell will now house a bigger 6.23-inch screen whereas the main 7.7-inch internal display will feature a punch-hole setup for the camera.
The flexible screen is also likely to be protected by an ultra-thin glass that we saw on the Z Flip.

The external and internal displays will house a single camera each for selfies and video calling. However, the specifications of these sensors are unclear at the moment.
