    Those substantial and irregular reflection on the screen though is something people are going complaint once they start using this device on a daily basis, which means you not only you have now hold this with both the hands but also you to hold it at a certain angle. And you can’t even put it on a flat surface because of the huge camera bump. ????

    If only it was made by Apple. I would buy it in a ???? even if its $2999

    I think the “premier” service is to prevent people from blaming the company when they break their device.
    Samsung will point the finger back saying “we offered support and you didn’t use it”

    Microsoft Surface Duo is Better:
    1.) The Duo has Much more Screen than the Folds.
    2.) The Duo folds in more be positions than the Folds
    3.) Duo works with all the Surface Pens.
    4.) Duo has a more Durable and more Premium than the Folds.
    5.) The Duo is thinner and Lighter than the Folds.
    6.) The Duo is a Brand New Form factor instead of the Folds Boring Glass Slab look.
    7.) The Phone Mode is more Usable than Fold 2’s Narrow front screen.
    8.) Duo is $600 less than the Folds.

    I would much rather pay for the Surface Duo than the Folds fragile plastic screen that damages if a Fingernail or Even Dust touches it ????????????

    With with the negative patch, just talk about the fold function and real world uses, I don’t want to hear if the smartphone is IP Resistand as if you are going to swim with it or worse float on flamingo inflatable water with it?
    C’mon CNET you’ve got to be authentic.

    The hole punch cam location is weird. Better off the the top right corner imo

    folding vs thickness panel? folding phone vs rolling panel… interesting for up coming war

    The side swipe bangs is better than previous style, and oh yes it’s a nice phone.

    Every new tech cost a lot. still remember cell phone looking like a brick cost $3000 also many decades ago.
    Nokia Communicator 9100 was almost $2000 back then.

  22. Ptrmndza

    I see this as a 7 inch tablet that fits in my pocket or a sling bag even though it is expensive, but considering how much iPad pro costs nowadays

  23. boo Jay

    September 2, 2020 at 12:48 am

    The 68mm width is a dealbreaker for me. The whole point of a foldable was to make these oversized phablets that have saturated the market for the last several years to be more pocketable and easy to use one-handed. The original Fold accomplished that with a 62.9mm width. All Samsung had to do was shrink the bezels without increasing the footprint for the cover screen. Instead, the Fold2 is just like any other phone now: big and unwieldy to use, folded or not.

    I have the original Galaxy Fold. What I like about it, among other features, is the storage space of 512 GB inner memory. This Fold was priced at $1,980.00 dollars. This New Z Fold 2 has many great features, for example, I like the larger front screen, the Mystic Bronze color…, however, I do not like the elevation in price at $1999 dollars, FOR ONLY 256 GB OF INNER MEMORY.

    I think this phone would be perfect for DS and 3DS emulation, with the ability to use both screens! DS games in 1080p!

    Does a fingernail still damage the main display? Also are we still worried about dust. I’d like to comfortably put this in a pocket.

    Imagine the cases for this phone! How the he’ll will it look! I think this type of phones have mixed feelings. Kind of moving forward but backwards a the same time.

  38. Julian Castell

    The phone is $1999 but including the taxes on my country +22% = 2438.78 and at the change in my country Peru is PEN 8603.16. Average salary is PEN 930, someone wants to adopt me?

  39. Lone Wolf

    September 2, 2020 at 3:54 pm

    Remember those days when Apple used to come up with new techs: now Apple is milking both Devs & Costumers to be a $trillion company while Samsung is investing in its R&D and coming up with breathtaking techs, even a small company like xiaomi is coming with invisible front camera!!!
    Apple is so overrated..stop feeding its greed guys & invest in true innovations

  40. Venkatesh Das

    This is my new favourite phone

  41. Ice Cubes

    September 2, 2020 at 5:39 pm

    So bad use of resources. So many screens, so many cameras. Better find a way to fold screen outward and lower the number of screens and cameras and hence lower the price.

  42. EternalDestiny48

    No micro SD Card slot is despicable!!!!!!

  48. hundio88

    September 2, 2020 at 11:48 pm

    Easily scratched screen when opened, the hole cutout, no ip 68, no expandable storage and Samsung’s asking 2k for this? No deal!

  49. bigdogroc

    September 3, 2020 at 12:59 am

    256gb with no micro sd slot, no 8k, and it’s not water resistant….. guess I’m going with the note 20 ultra

  50. morris portlock

    September 3, 2020 at 1:17 am

    It is a nice device, but the screen shiould be covered for at least 2 years.

  51. DOPE PEAR

    September 3, 2020 at 2:37 am

    Not like i can afford it

  52. Sumeet tanwar

    Great now wait 5 years to actually afford it.

  53. LordWinter

    September 3, 2020 at 4:15 am

    I’ll try in 2 years when they perfect this…of course by then it’ll probably cost $2999

  54. Tootie Pootie

    September 3, 2020 at 4:25 am

    I stopped watching the video when she said it cost 1,999. Dollars ???? I’m gud ✌️ an the host chick looks cockeyed ????

  55. VEGANSAM

    September 3, 2020 at 4:41 am

    Really?!…Not waterproof?!…No SD expansion?!…Not 8K?!…etc?!
    The flagship price should reflect the product….it should’ve been the ULTIMATE…Period.

  56. Son of Martha

    September 3, 2020 at 6:33 am

    Wait for galaxy fold z. Hopefully ip resistance will be available then with 8k video shooting

  57. prabhu das

    September 3, 2020 at 12:26 pm

    This flip gonna be the biggest failure of Samsung ????

  58. GerardPedrico

    September 3, 2020 at 2:21 pm

    The only way to hide the crease is to have Samsung use Paper-Like screen protector like the one used on the Apple iPad Pro because Paper-Like screen protector is not glossy (does not have a gloss surface) therefore the crease remains “unseen” for extended periods of use when folding-unfolding the Galaxy Z Fold 2.

  59. Bonny Babu

    September 3, 2020 at 2:33 pm

    Have been waiting for this. A bit disappointed though with storage and cameras. Hope they bump it up to Note-esque specs next year, given that the Note series might not exist ????

  60. T P

    September 3, 2020 at 3:48 pm

    1999 usd too much

  61. Wes McDannold

    September 3, 2020 at 4:04 pm

    It’s a cool phone for sure, and I’ve always been a fan of Samsung; it’s just sad to see that Samsung constantly charges a premium dollar price and skimps out on certain specs. Their competition however, mainly Apple, does not do this. I think this phone should have better camera shooter(s) on the back (think the about the S20 and 8k video), an IP67 water resistance rating, lack of SD storage is just dumb, the Gorilla glass on the front should be the same on the back, and they should consider the S-pen on this device. Making small budget cuts such as having last year’s Gorilla Glass on the back just seems unnecessary. Are you really trying that hard to save $25 per device? (just throwing a random $ amount out there). At $1,999 I would expect nothing but the best, and they only want to provide you with 85% of the best possible specs per say. Same goes with the Note regular vs Note Ultra series. Like, there’s no reason IMO to make the Ultra have a 2-4k screen and the regular version only 1080p. At $999 I expect better than 1080p. They try too hard to make cuts where I don’t think they should particularly make those cuts. That’s the reason I won’t upgrade from my Note 8. There’s just too much skimping out between the two models. And there seems to be too much skimping out on the Z Fold 2.

    Who needs a $2000 phone that can’t compete with flagship phone performance?

    no expandable slot a major bummer.
