The XDA Developers’ journalist then went ahead to uncover a few more things about the Galaxy Fold 2 launch. He informed that the prerequisite processes before launching a product are yet to be completed, in fact, the software for the smartphone is yet not ready. He stated that the company may decide to unleash the teaser date for Galaxy Fold 2 in it’s Unpacked event on August 5.
My guess is we'll get a teaser at the end with the date of like a September launch. At this point, it's not launching until at least October. There's just no way to ship a device on blv0 firmware and they can't do blv1 in time for September.

The journalist also speculated that the handset hasn’t cleared the carrier testing, hasn’t got a launch partner, price details, in the absence of which, the company cannot afford to launch the product. He made a guess that 60% chances are that the company may choose to remain zipped on even talking about Samsung Galaxy Fold 2, and then affirmed that he is 100% sure that the company wouldn’t launch the foldable smartphone on August 5.
To clarify, I'm 60% sure they won't even talk about it at the event but I'm 100% sure they won't release it. https://t.co/5FUixTLqu9
