If you remember the fragile piece of hardware that is the Galaxy Fold, one would imagine that Samsung would attempt to make some changes to the upcoming Galaxy Fold 2. You’d be correct in assuming such a thing, as there are reports coming in that the Korean manufacturer intends on using its Ultra-Thin Glass or UTG technology for the upcoming foldable flagship smartphone. There are many benefits to using UTG on a foldable device, which we’ll talk about right here, along with more details from the report.

According to South Korean insiders, both Samsung and Corning have already agreed on terms for a new UTG supply chain in the U.S. This move should result in lowered UTG production costs, leading to a more affordable Galaxy Fold 2. Of course, while the Galaxy Fold 2’s manufacturing cost may be reduced, it’s not confirmed if the same savings will be passed onto customers, though they should if Samsung wants the foldable form factor to popularize in the coming years.
