Samsung may launch Fold 2 later this year with UTG and cheaper variant in 2021

Presented just over 1 year ago, the Galaxy Fold can receive in 2020 a new generation, baptized as Galaxy Fold 2 and that can bring to the family the UTG (Ultra-Thin Glass) screen that was officially seen on the market with the arrival of Galaxy Z Flip earlier this year, according to rumors.

According to the information released, the information is not yet certain due to the problems related to the cost of production of the device and the overall weight of the device, something that at least apparently seems to have overcome while the manufacturer intends to ship this screen in more devices in the medium term. , thanks to a partnership with Corning.
