Samsung's third foldable smartphone is expected to be the Galaxy Fold 2, and a new report suggests you may be able to get a cheaper variant, as it will apparently come in multiple storage sizes. According to SamMobile, the Galaxy Fold 2 will come with a 256GB storage choice. Alongside that, you'll also apparently be able to buy a 512GB version of the phone. The original Galaxy Fold only came in that 512GB version, so this may allow Samsung to offer a cheaper version.
There's no guarantee it will be cheaper than the original - Samsung may increase the price for other reasons - but it would suggest it's being introduced as an alternative to the top-end storage variant. The company announced the original Galaxy Fold in early 2019, and we've already seen Samsung bring out the Galaxy Z Flip alongside the Galaxy S20 series in February this year. The Galaxy Z Flip has a lower price than the original foldable phone from the company, so it may be that Samsung is trying to opt for a lower price for the Galaxy Fold 2. Rumors suggest the Galaxy Fold 2 will be getting a slightly bigger outer (secondary) display as well as a 7.7-inch inner (main) screen. It's expected to feature a similar camera to the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus, and it may even come with S Pen functionality.
The same source also reveals that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5G variant could be coming later this year. The report notes that the company decided not “to offer the 5G Galaxy Z Flip initially." This could be part of Samsung’s broader goal to release more 5G smartphones this year. The Korean company has been vocal about its ambitions to push 5G smartphones faster. In this quest, Samsung is not limiting 5G to its flagship smartphone lineup.
