Foldable phones haven’t taken off the way that some smartphone vendors expect them to, but there also has yet to be a foldable phone that the average consumer would consider using in place of their daily driver. Samsung came as close as any phone maker has with its Galaxy Z Flip, which had the allure of a foldable device paired with a price that didn’t make everyone balk, but it was still a niche product. In order for a foldable phone to break through, it will need both a revolutionary design and a price tag that most people will be able to stomach.
According to SamMobile, that might be exactly what we end up getting from the Galaxy Fold 2. Sources tell the site that the successor to the Galaxy Fold will include a base model with 256GB of internal storage at a lower price point than any of the original Fold models, bringing the barrier of entry down for consumers.
