Galaxy Z Fold 9, Fold 9 Ultra camera specs leaked

We’ve got our first proper look at what Samsung might be doing with the cameras on the next Galaxy Z Fold 9 series.

Tipster @WalleGalaxy replied to a question on X and dropped the first specific claims about both the regular Z Fold 9 and the higher-end Z Fold 9 Ultra.

According to the tip, the standard Z Fold 9 is sticking with the same dual-camera setup as the Z Fold 8: a 50 MP main camera paired with a 50 MP ultra-wide, and no dedicated telephoto. We still don’t know the exact sensor details yet.

The Z Fold 9 Ultra, on the other hand, looks like it’s carrying over the triple-camera layout from the Fold 8 Ultra. That means a 200 MP main camera (the tipster specifically called it a “200 MP New Main Camera”), a 50 MP ultra-wide, and a telephoto with 3x optical zoom. The “new” label on the main sensor suggests Samsung might be refreshing the primary unit while keeping the overall setup familiar.

This fits the pattern we’ve seen lately: the Ultra model gets the stronger camera system. The current Fold 8 Ultra already runs a 200 MP main, 50 MP ultra-wide, and 10 MP 3x telephoto. Whether the telephoto resolution stays the same or gets a small bump isn’t clear yet.

Of course, this is still early and should be taken with a pinch of salt until Samsung confirms anything. The Z Fold 9 series is months away, and camera plans can change. For now, though, this is the clearest signal we’ve had that Samsung plans to keep the regular Fold more basic on cameras while giving the Ultra the higher-resolution and zoom treatment again.
