The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 and Note 20 could come sooner than you think
Samsung Galaxy Fold
Formally unveiled all the way back in February 2019 and initially scheduled for an April commercial release, Samsung’s first-ever foldable smartphone ultimately went up for grabs in September, by which point a very large part of the excitement surrounding the Galaxy Fold had essentially dispersed.
A bigger, stronger, and fancier “champ” than the original Galaxy Fold
Max Weinbach, the teenage leaker who uncovered almost every S20-series secret way ahead of time, claims the “Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2” is internally codenamed “Champ” and “will likely” use Ultra Thin Glass while possibly paving the way for a new bezel-shrinking industry standard with an under-display camera.

Although Weinbach doesn’t seem very confident in a lot of that intel, even many of his educated guesses made in advance of the February 11 Unpacked event have proven right on the money, so his early Galaxy Fold 2 speculation certainly deserves our attention.

But Max Weinbach believes Samsung’s third foldable device is “likely” to launch “around” July, which could be “around the same time as the Note 20.” All the “coulds”, “shoulds”, and “likelies” in the leaker’s predictions are not very confidence-inspiring, but then again, this is typically the time of year when we hear whispers about possible plans of Samsung to release a new Note-series handset earlier than usual.
