About this deal

Typical value tested under third-party laboratory condition. Typical value is the estimated average value considering the deviation in battery capacity among the battery samples tested under IEC 61960 standard. Rated capacity is 4275mAh. Estimated against the usage profile of an average/typical user. Independently assessed by Strategy Analytics between 2022.07.07-07.12 in USA with pre-release versions of SM-F936U under default setting using 5G Sub6 networks (NOT tested under 5G mmWave network). Actual battery life varies by network environment, features and apps used, frequency of calls and messages, number of times charged, and many other factors. Fast Wireless Charger sold separately. We mentioned the Z Fold 2 can go almost anywhere. It’s not waterproof or dust-proof, like most phones at this price point. But it can go the distance. We experienced all-day battery life in our testing, and the phone comes with a 25W charger in the box for what Samsung calls ‘Super Fast Charging’. It also supports fast 11W wireless charging (that’s a bit slower than the usual 15W wireless charging we see on new Samsung phones), and reverse wireless charging, in case those new Galaxy Buds Live need some juice.

So we’re torn. The Galaxy Z Fold 2 remains obnoxiously expensive for a smartphone – it costs as much as two Samsung Galaxy S20 phones if you fashion your own hinge (please... don’t actually attempt that). Yet it fixes most of the first-gen limitations we complained about, courtesy of its larger Cover Display and improved durability. It has the features we wanted at a price no one asked for. That said you may be able to find some great prices on the older Fold now that the new model is here, but it has numerous issues that the Fold 2 fixes, and is no longer sold officially.Display Size: Measured diagonally, the screen size is 6.2" in a full rectangle and 6.2" accounting for the rounded corners. The actual viewable area is smaller due to the rounded corners and camera hole. Measured diagonally, Galaxy Z Fold4's Main Screen size is 7.6” in the full rectangle and 7.4” accounting for the rounded corners; actual viewable area is less due to the rounded corners. Samsung’s Exynos 990 chipset didn’t get utilized in the Fold 2, and that’s good news for everyone in the UK and other regions. The Exynos 990, found in the Note 20 series, outside of the US, showed weaker performance and battery life than Qualcomm’s chip in our testing. Night-mode pictures are great, however. Capturing test shots side by side with the Pixel Fold, there really wasn’t all that much to differentiate the two, with the Samsung providing some effectively well-lit images with plenty of sharpness. There’s really no contest when it comes to the camera capabilities of these two phones. And the result pans out perhaps not in the direction you might be expecting.

The prices shown are our recommended repair prices for out of warranty screen replacement. This is a representative example of a reasonable repair cost for an out of warranty screen repair at any of our Authorised Service Centres. The price may change should any additional work be required to your device and you may be able to find a cheaper price by shopping around. Second, Samsung has evolved its ‘sweeper’ technology to better repel dust particles. There’s a necessary gap along the phone’s spine, which ensures that it can fold and unfold, with tiny vacuum-like bristles, now smaller in Gen 2, lining the inside of the all-important hinge. The Fold 2 isn’t dust-proof but its achilles heel is less exposed.speeds are going to vary by region and carrier, according to our tests in New York City. We experienced sub-6 ‘5G’ at 200Mbps on T-Mobile, and then, minutes later in the very same spot, much faster mmWave 5G at 1.6Gbps on Verizon. The tradeoff is that the slower sub-6 speeds worked indoors as well as outside, while mmWave required us to stand outside directly under a 5G antenna. The Fold 2 – like all 5G phones in 2020 – feels future-proofed more than it’s constantly super fast. Its pronounced camera module seemed extremely in-your-face at the time, but seems almost restrained by modern standards, thanks in large part to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra. It only adds to that industrial-chic look. Considering this is exactly the same lineup as the previous model, the image results are largely the same. That is to say, it delivers good quality but with room for improvement. Generally speaking, images look great, with bold, punchy and vivid colours that appear to leap from the screen. Pictures look best if you use the main sensor at the default 1x zoom or the 3x optical zoom lens, with a huge amount of detail capture and excellent use of HDR. The biggest changes to smartphone software in the last decade are happening right now, and that’s because foldable phones are pushing the idea of using multiple apps simultaneously. The functionality has existed on phones before, but the concept is fully realized on the Fold 2.
