The big day has finally arrived for the 5G-enabled Galaxy Z Fold 2, but while it’s obviously hard not to be excited about the full announcement of arguably the most beautiful and technologically advanced foldable device to date, Motorola will try to divert at least a little bit of attention away from Samsung next week.

Meanwhile, the increase in overall thickness can be easily explained by a bump in battery capacity, from a modest 2,510mAh to a… slightly less modest 2,800mAh or so. Unfortunately, the actual battery life may not get much of an upgrade, as the Snapdragon 765 processor and 5G support tipped for the second-gen Razr are expected to consume a lot more power than the Snapdragon 710 SoC and 4G LTE connectivity of last year’s model.
