Samsung fans hoping for a camera upgrade with the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 might be disappointed. A leak from a usually reliable source Ice Universe suggests the Fold 6’s cameras will be identical to the Fold 5 which is identical to the Fold 4.
The leak states that “all camera specifications, including front camera, rear camera, UPC [Under Panel Camera] and aperture value, are exactly the same, and there is no change.”
This means the Fold 6 will feature the same 50MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, a 10MP telephoto lens with an f/2.4 aperture and 3x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultrawide lens with an f/2.2 aperture and a 123-degree field of view. The main and telephoto lenses will likely continue to include optical image stabilization (OIS).
Samsung’s pace of innovation in its foldable phones has been sluggish in recent years, while Chinese brands like Vivo and Oppo have been consistently pushing boundaries.
For instance, Vivo’s latest X Fold 3 Pro foldable claims the title of the world’s lightest foldable phone, weighing just 236 grams, despite housing a substantial 5700mAh battery — larger than some well-known bar phones like the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Additionally, the X Fold 3 Pro has an impressive camera setup making it probably the best foldable camera phone.
On the other hand, Samsung has been keeping the upgrade list pretty minimal, only bringing the expected generational upgrades such as a new processor.
This year, though, there might be a notable change in the Fold 6’s design. Samsung is reportedly planning to provide a wider cover screen to make it feel more like a conventional phone when closed. Apart from this, leaks so far suggest no major change or upgrade in the upcoming foldable.
