It’s based on Android 10, as you would expect, although we may see multiple new phones hit retail stores with Android 10 ahead of the Galaxy Fold 2, including the Galaxy S11 and a

Samsung torn between 6.7-inch and 8.1-inch display sizes?


According to the report, Samsung is aiming to release the Galaxy Fold 2 sometime in April but may launch it alongside the Galaxy S11, just like it unveiled the Galaxy Fold at the Galaxy S10 event.

That’s because while the Galaxy Fold was announced in four different colors, Samsung is only selling it in Cosmos Black and Cosmos Silver and hasn’t made the Martian Green and Astro Blue options available.
