The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated smartphones of the year. And today, with less than three weeks to go until the official introduction, a low-quality press render that reveals the product’s sleek design for the first time has leaked online.

Both Ishan Agarwal and Ice Universe have confirmed the legitimacy of the image despite earlier skepticism surrounding the source. Nevertheless, do take this leak with the customary pinch of salt. 

A Galaxy Note-like camera bump on the back

Originally published on Weibo and later shared by Ishan Agarwal on Twitter, the render in question reveals that Samsung has decided to unify the design language of the Galaxy Note series and Galaxy Z Fold range by adopting seemingly identical camera modules on the rear of both. 

These include a 12-megapixel primary camera that is coupled with a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle shooter and a 64-megapixel telephoto snapper that supports 3x hybrid zoom thanks to digital cropping.

The external display is much, much bigger

As reported previously, the external display on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is much bigger than the panel found on the original device. In fact, it has grown from 4.3-inches to 6.23-inches thanks to a new aspect ratio designed to reduce bezels as much as possible.

That dramatic change, along with the introduction of a new punch hole for the 10-megapixel selfie camera, is corroborated by the aforementioned press render. The external display on the Galaxy Z Fold 2 should, therefore, be noticeably more useful.
