Samsung is rumored to be working on a thinner Galaxy Z Fold6 foldable phone, but it may not get a camera upgrade.
Industry insider Ice Universe claims that Samsung will reuse the same 50MP Samsung GN3 sensor for the main camera on the Z Fold6 as it did on the Z Fold5 and Z Fold4.
This is disappointing news for some users who were hoping for a camera upgrade, but Samsung may be focusing on other areas of improvement, such as thickness.
According to a report by TheElec, Samsung is looking to thin out the Z Fold6 and close the gap in thickness between its and competitor’s foldable phones. Currently, the Galaxy Z Fold5 measures 6.1mm unfolded and 13.4mm folded, while most of its competitors have slimmer form factors.
For example, the Huawei Mate X5 is 5.3mm unfolded and 11.1mm folded, while the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 is even thinner at 5.3mm unfolded and 10.9mm folded. Even the first-gen fold by OnePlus is 5.8mm unfolded and 11.7mm folded.
The report by TheElec claims that Samsung may be reverse-engineering Huawei’s Mate X5 foldable to see how Huawei achieved a thinner profile and a larger internal battery.
If Samsung is able to thin out the Z Fold6 without sacrificing durability or battery life, it would be a significant improvement. However, it is important to note that these are just rumors at this point, and we will have to wait for more official information from Samsung to know for sure what to expect.
