																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 06 November 2020<strong> – </strong>Picking up right where Galaxy Fold left off, the<a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold2/"> Galaxy Z Fold2 5G</a> continues to build on Samsung’s best-in-class foldable innovations. Combining the power of its larger Cover Screen, immersive Main Screen, and a versatile camera system, the device delivers a wide range of productivity and entertainment experiences that defy expectations. All these ground-breaking functionalities are made possible by one foundational feature – the expanded Flex mode.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From multiple hands-free viewing options to pro-grade content creation, here’s everything you need to know about the improved Flex mode on the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #003366;">Two Screens, One Seamless Experience</span></h3>
<p>By bringing enhanced versatility to both the Cover and Main Screen, Flex mode makes the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G a device that can help you accomplish any task on the go.</p>
<p>The device comes with a larger 6.2-inch Cover Screen, giving you quick access to notifications and ample space to complete general tasks, such as viewing and replying to messages. Let’s say you want to watch a video link your friend sent you in detail. Simply tap on the link and watch content right on the Cover Screen in both portrait and landscape mode.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-10324 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Galaxy-Z-Fold2_Flex-mode_main_1_quick_access_viewing.gif" alt="" width="750" height="422" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Flex mode allows you to watch content without interruption even when you unfold the device. The feature automatically brings all the apps that are opened on the Cover Screen to the Main Screen, so you don’t have to waste any time and start all over again.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #003366;">Keep Your Hands Free</span></h3>
<p>Whether you are attending a virtual meeting in a café or following a video recipe in the kitchen, the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G can free up your hands and give you more flexibility while multitasking. The Hideaway Hinge allows both the Cover and Main Screen to stay open at multiple angles without a stand, providing you with a wide range of viewing options for all types of situations.</p>
<p>When you unfold the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G slightly and rest the device on a surface, you can view content on the Cover Screen hands-free. If you need more space to work with, just open the device further to change from the Cover to the Main Screen. In this mode, the top half of the Main Screen will play the video, while the bottom half will show the video controls.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-10326 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Galaxy-Z-Fold2_Flex-mode_main_2_cover_and_main_screen.gif" alt="" width="750" height="422" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For a more immersive entertainment experience, all you need to do is unfold the device fully. Featuring an Infinity-O Display with 120Hz refresh rate, the fully unfolded 7.6-inch Main Screen delivers lifelike, dynamic visuals. With high-dynamic dual speakers, you can enjoy incredible sound quality while watching your favourite content.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #003366;">Shoot With Maximum Flexibility</span></h3>
<p>When used with Flex mode, the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G’s cameras become even more powerful, allowing you to shoot exactly the way you want. The flexibility enabled by the feature lets you maximise the advantage of the rear camera, even when you are taking selfies. Simply turn on the Camera app on the Cover Screen and tap on the Rear Cam Selfie button. You can then unfold the device to take selfies with the rear camera while using the Cover Screen as a viewfinder.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-10327 aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Galaxy-Z-Fold2_Flex-mode_main_3_rear_cam_selfie.gif" alt="" width="750" height="422" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Capture View mode on the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G lets you check photos and videos as you shoot. The feature works with Flex mode, so you can view up to five of your recent captures in the bottom half of the Main Screen, while the preview of the next shot remains in the top half.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2_Flex-mode_main_4_capture_view_mode.gif" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Collaboration between the subject and photographer is key to creating dynamic images. Dual Preview on the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G makes this process effortless by showing a preview of the image on both the Cover and Main Screen. The subject can adjust their pose based on the Cover Screen preview, while the photographer can find the perfect composition with the larger preview on the Main Screen. Dual Preview also works with video and it can be activated in Pro Video mode.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Whether you are taking part in the latest dance challenge or filming a vlog, Auto framing on the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G can help you create content on your own, wherever you are. It keeps the subject in focus, even when it’s in motion, so you don’t need to worry about staying in the frame when you are filming alone.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/global/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2_Flex-mode_main_5_auto_framing.gif" /></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 06 October 2020 – If the concept of ‘ability’ is about having the capacity to accomplish something, ‘attitude’ is the mind-set that makes that accomplishment a reality. When it comes down to it, the attitude of the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold2/">Galaxy Z Fold2 5G</a> can be summed up as a combination of three elements: determination (to redefine what smartphone users can do with their device), flexibility (to seamlessly alternate between work and play), and last but not least, the confidence to stand out.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10093" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_1-1.jpg" alt="" width="859" height="408" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_1-1.jpg 859w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_1-1-704x334.jpg 704w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_1-1-768x365.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 859px) 100vw, 859px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold2 5G was designed to empower users to be just as determined, flexible and confident as the smartphone itself. Samsung’s latest flagship device unfolds an entirely new way of life – one that transcends the limitations of yesterday, makes it easier to juggle more roles than ever, and allows you to focus on being yourself.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Follow along as we examine each fascinating facet of the Galaxy Z Fold2’s design.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;">Built for Broadening Horizons</span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold2 5G has been optimised, inside and out, to take the foldable smartphone experience to the next level.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The device’s delicately refined UI elevates the quality of the overall user experience, while its expanded Cover Screen further enhances usability. The Cover Screen itself has been made larger, measuring a full 6.2 inches, and its bezels have been made thinner. The combination of a 6.2-inch Cover Screen and a 7.6-inch Main Screen makes the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G similar in size to a typical smartphone when folded, and a small tablet when opened. When viewing content, the thinner bezels and notch-less Infinity-O Display maximise immersion, allowing users to enjoy the full benefits that come with a bigger screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10094" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_2-859x295.jpg" alt="" width="859" height="295" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_2-859x295.jpg 859w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_2-768x264.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_2.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 859px) 100vw, 859px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The smartphone’s expanded Cover Screen unlocks a variety of convenient experiences. Now, users can do just as much on the Galaxy Z Fold2’s Cover Screen as they could on a typical smartphone’s screen. When folded, the display makes it easy to do everything from viewing content to taking pictures or replying to messages. When unfolded, the device’s Main Screen is handy for capturing and viewing photos and videos.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10086" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_3_Retouched.jpg" alt="" width="859" height="408" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_3_Retouched.jpg 859w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_3_Retouched-704x334.jpg 704w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_3_Retouched-768x365.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 859px) 100vw, 859px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold2’s enhanced UI offers users a variety of ways to divide the Main Screen for seamless multitasking. When texting with friends, attaching photos is as simple as dragging an image from one window to another. Thanks to a newly introduced feature, users also have the option to utilise a single app in multiple windows. This means that you can load an article in a browser in one window, and search for more info on the subject of the article in another. You can also save your split screen configurations to the Multi-Window tray as an App Pair, so you won’t need to go through the hassle of setting up separate windows each time you’d like to launch your apps.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In these uncertain times, more individuals are learning to accept change and broaden their horizons. The Galaxy Z Fold2 5G is the embodiment of this kind of progression, designed for those who are constantly defying limitations, seeking out new experiences, and boldly facing the challenges of tomorrow.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;">The Freedom of Flexibility</span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold2 5G adds a bold new chapter to a category that Samsung pioneered with the launch of the original Galaxy Fold. Like its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G was designed with an emphasis on flexibility and versatility. It adjusts its form to suit the task at hand, perfectly complementing the many roles that users juggle throughout their daily lives.</p>

<p>The Galaxy Z Fold2 5G can be used at a variety of angles to suit users’ needs – opened wide, opened just enough for comfort, or even standing upright in a folded position. The available Aramid Standing Cover takes this convenience a step further by enabling you to prop up your Galaxy Z Fold2 5G like a picture frame, in addition to allowing you to use your device at any angle you desire. When taking pictures or recording videos, you can fold the device so the camera meets your eye level and view a preview of your shot using the top part of the screen, which gives you a wider field of vision for a much more comfortable experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10088" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main__Retouched.jpg" alt="" width="859" height="408" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main__Retouched.jpg 859w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main__Retouched-704x334.jpg 704w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main__Retouched-768x365.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 859px) 100vw, 859px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The key here is the Galaxy Z Fold2’s convenient Flex mode, which automatically splits the Main Screen into two sections, allowing you to comfortably view content on the top half and control it on the bottom. The smartphone can also be held upright when partially folded, freeing your hands to handle other things. That’s the beauty of the Galaxy Z Fold2’s flexible design: it offers complete freedom to multitask. This includes everything from displaying videos while folded to enabling users to execute video calls on one side of their screen while taking notes on the other.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We live in a time in which people wear many different hats, as the saying goes, and identify with various personas. Our behaviours and attitudes can vary depending on whether we’re working, resting or having fun, and we may express ourselves differently in our everyday lives and on social media. The fact that our characters and behaviours are so multifaceted and nuanced underscores the idea that none of us can be easily defined with a single identity. The Galaxy Z Fold2 5G and its many forms and functions cater to modern users’ many personas, offering the perfect tool for tackling the wide range of tasks that we manage every day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;">The Confidence To Be Different</span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With its simple form, consisting of straight lines, and colours that exemplify modern elegance, the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G exudes a kind of confident and premium style that captures the attention of everyone around it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10089" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_6.jpg" alt="" width="859" height="408" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_6.jpg 859w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_6-704x334.jpg 704w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Galaxy-Z-Fold2-Design-Story_main_6-768x365.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 859px) 100vw, 859px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The smartphone comes in a choice of two colours that are sure to strike a chord with all kinds of users. The sensational Mystic Bronze radiates confidence with its alluring and textured haze effect, while Mystic Black features an elegant hue that’s designed to recall the atmosphere of the city.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Z Fold2’s refined form is neat and composed, and characterised by seamless lines coming together to create a whole. Its body and hinge share the same texture and hue, enhancing the device’s unified design – a design that’s not only slim, sturdy and appealing to the eye, but also fits comfortably into your hands for an exceptional tactile experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;">The Tools to Conquer What’s To Come</span></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the end of the day, our self-worth should not be defined by others, but by ourselves. We all want to stand out from the crowd, but there is a difference between meeting the standards of others and meeting our own. The confidence that comes from knowing who we are and being positive enhances our sense of worth and adds conviction to our every move. Going forward, those who possess a strong sense of identity will be the ones who endure – who navigate evolving trends, and boldly announce their presence.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just like these individuals, the Galaxy Z Fold2 5G dares to write its own story and forge its own path. It will do so by offering users as much flexibility as possible, and by enabling them to discover an inner self that’s more confident than yesterday, and possesses the courage to conquer what’s to come.</p>
