- The rating includes comparisons with the Galaxy Fold.

Are you bored of waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2? Another live video of the foldable phone has now arrived to keep you occupied. The clip is in the form of a hands-on review posted on YouTube (via SamMobile), which shows a fair bit even if you cannot fully understand the language.
There's a lot to see of the neat graphics. For starters, the video compares the Galaxy Z Fold 2 to its sibling Galaxy Fold, and the latter really looks like a prototype. The outer display of the newer leaflet is far larger than that of the Galaxy Fold, and it also appears to be far more user-friendly.
The review also shows that in theory you can play games on the outer display or use them for navigation. Using this screen with one hand also seems pretty straightforward (maybe not for the clumsy people) as the folded edges provide more space to hold onto.

As for the foldable display, the notch is gone and the hole comes in, a feature that seems to be releasing a sizable amount of screen as well. The center fold of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 on its 7.6-inch display can also be seen at some angles in this clip, but if you look directly at the screen it doesn't seem to stand out.
On the back, the more pronounced camera hump can be an issue for some who want to use the Galaxy Z Fold 2 on flat surfaces. The device wobbles when placed on a table or desk, an annoying victim for better camera hardware. However, the Flex mode which allows the phone to be used in a mini laptop format largely eliminates this problem.
Pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 will start on September 1st. There's no word on pricing yet, but it's likely to cost a fair bit more. That said, it looks like a more refined machine than its predecessor.
