Update 10:52 ET: We have received the following statement from Samsung:
We were pleased with the excitement around the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G and encourage customers to visit Samsung.com for the latest availability updates. We want to clarify that Samsung is not shutting down the device.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 is rumored to be launching in August, but for a short time it looked like Samsung could speed up its plans when the Galaxy Z Fold 2 disappeared from Samsung.com on June 17th. Not so much.
It appears that Samsung has stopped sales of the Galaxy Z Fold 2, displaying the following message when attempting to visit the product page: The Galaxy Fold is no longer available for purchase on Samsung.com, however please give a look at the additional options in the Galaxy family.
However, as of 8:20 am ET on June 18th, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 is back on the Samsung website. And the company has provided the above statement, noting that the Z Fold 2 is not discontinued.
9to5Google was the first to notice that the Z Fold 2 was no longer for sale via the Samsung website and we reached out to Samsung for comment. Note that the Galaxy Z Fold 2 continues to be sold through Best Buy and Amazon, but it is listed out of stock on Verizon and is not listed at all through T-Mobile after it was previously sold there. AT&T is still selling the phone for now.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 is currently the best foldable phone you can buy, but with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 launching later this summer at an Unpacked event, we can see why there’s a lot of anticipation.
If you’ve been following the rumors of the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Samsung’s new foldable phone may be the first Samsung phone to feature an under-display camera, which would be on the larger internal display. Additionally, the Z Fold 3 will reportedly support S Pen input, similar to the Galaxy S21 Ultra.
The best part? A rumor says the Galaxy Z Fold 3 could cost up to 20% less, so now is definitely not a good time to buy the Galaxy Z Fold 2.
Other Galaxy Z Fold 3 reports point to a similar range of cameras, including a 12MP main camera, a 12MP ultra wide angle, and a 12MP telephoto lens, which offers 2x optical zoom and a 10MP coverage camera . The new 16MP selfie camera would be on the larger display.
The Z Fold 3 is said to be equipped with a 7.5-inch main display (smaller than the 7.6-inch Fold 2) and a possible 5.4-inch coverage display (although we also heard 6.2 inches). According to a certification, the battery size of the Z Fold 3 could be 4,275mAh, which would be slightly smaller than the 4,500mAh Z Fold 2s pack.
It looks like we still have quite a bit of time between now and the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but we’ll bring you more information as it becomes available.
