According to a report from ETNews, the price of the Galaxy Fold 2 in South Korea is temporarily set at 2.398 million KRW ($1,990 / Rs 1,48,787), just a $10 hike from its predecessor.

The Galaxy Fold 2 is rumoured to feature a 7.7-inch primary display and a 6.23-inch secondary display with a high refresh rate. It is also rumoured that Samsung will ditch S Pen on the Galaxy Fold 2. The Galaxy Z Flip is expected to pack in a Snapdragon 865 family chipset with 5G capabilities.
