Short Review
- The Samsung Galaxy Folder2 features a compact clamshell design with dimensions of 122 x 60.2 x 16.1 mm and a weight of 165g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 3.8-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 246 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset with a quad-core CPU and Adreno 308 GPU, the device offers adequate performance for everyday use, supported by options of 16GB or 32GB storage paired with 2GB or 3GB of RAM.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with an f/1.9 aperture, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while a 5 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The 1950mAh battery provides modest longevity without fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is basic and lacks updates to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in Wine Red, Black, and Gold colors, adding a touch of personalization.
- The absence of water resistance and stereo speakers may limit its appeal to some users.
- Overall, the Galaxy Folder2 is a straightforward device catering to those who prefer a classic flip phone experience.
