Samsung's next foldable is apparently called Galaxy Bloom and t Galaxy Fold 2. According to a new report, sourced from inside a secret Samsung briefing during CES 2020, Galaxy Bloom may be geared towards women. inspiration for its purported clamshell design seems to be Lancome's compacts, as per same report. 

Samsung isn’t new to hosting such secret briefings at tech events like CES to show off its soon-to-launch products to partners and carriers. original Galaxy Fold was also shown off ‘secretly’ in one such briefing ahead of a formal unveiling. refore, it comes as surprise that Samsung may have shown off Galaxy Fold 2, aka Galaxy Bloom, to select clientele at CES 2020. re’s a possibility that Samsung may also have shown off Galaxy S11 phones as report also says that company’s next flagship Galaxy S phones will be called Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+ and Galaxy S20 Ultra – as being widely speculated.

report also carries with it a purported promo im of Galaxy Bloom showing off product’s clamshell design – plus confirming name.  

“This brand-new form factor that we’re w exploring will t only easily fit in your pocket, but it also changes way you use your phone,” Sally Hyesoon Jeong, who is head of Framework R&D Group at Samsung's mobile communications, had said while showing off mock-up foldable flip phone on st at company’s annual developer conference keyte last year.

Galaxy Bloom may be same phone. Live renders of this foldable surfaced online recently, showing off Samsung’s foldable flip phone in full glory. Basis of se renders, it seems Galaxy Fold 2 (or Galaxy Bloom) will look a lot like Moto Razr 2019. But re will be differences. For starters, Samsung’s foldable flip phone will t have a ‘distinct’ chin at bottom. Moto Razr 2019 has one and it is home to a physical fingerprint reader for biometric auntication. 

Secondly, Samsung’s foldable flip phone, when folded, was seen having a much smaller outer display area sitting right next to a dual camera setup. It would be interesting to see if that’s what you’ll be getting in Samsung’s take on foldable flip phone, or if re would be more screen real estate to do more. Moto Razr 2019 has a considerably bigger outer display below main camera.
