An interesting device included in the official list is the Galaxy Z Fold 2. It was widely being expected that the South Korean tech giant would only release a 5G variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 2. Even during the Galaxy Unpacked 2020 event, the company didn't specify if the second-generation Galaxy Fold would come in an LTE-only variant. However, if Samsung's list is anything to go by, there might be an LTE-only variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 after all. Last year, Samsung released LTE and 5G versions of the Galaxy Fold.
Qualcomm reportedly makes it necessary to include a 5G modem in all smartphones that use the Snapdragon 865/865+ processor. Since the Galaxy Z Fold 2 exclusively uses the Snapdragon 865+, we are not sure why Samsung would want to pay a premium for a 5G modem and then end up not using it. Even in markets like India, where 5G cellular networks have not been rolled out, enabling 5G connectivity in a device would make users feel that their device is future-ready.
There's also a possibility of Samsung mistakenly mentioning the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and that there's no LTE-only version of the new foldable mobile device. However, we'll only know that for sure sometime next month. What are your thoughts about the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and 5G networks? Let us know in the comments section below.
