Custom Galaxy Z Fold 2 hinge colors revealed by Samsung itself

Galaxy Z Fold 2 custom hinge colors revealed by Samsung

Customization will only be available for the Hideaway Hinge, not the base colors, which include Mystic Bronze and Mystic Black. Customers will be able to select one of four different color options for the hinge. They include Platinum Silver, Rich Gold, Ruby Red and Sapphire Blue.

An earlier report has suggested that the company will allow custom hinge colors on orders that are placed on Samsung.com only. This will be a great way for Samsung to have customers purchase its latest foldable smartphone through its own sales channel. It’s unlikely that there would be an additional charge for the custom colors.

What’s not known at this point in time, though, is whether this option will be offered in all markets where the Galaxy Z Fold 2 or just a select few. This should become clear once the device goes on sale later this month. Samsung will confirm the release date on September 1, which is also when it opens up the pre-orders for the device.

If reports out of South Korea are believed, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 will be released in Samsung’s home country on September 18. It’s possible that the device may also be made available in other countries on that day.
