Samsung is set to launch two new foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5, in the coming months, alongside new tablets, smartwatches, and possibly earbuds. While details of these upcoming devices have been surfacing online, a new report has revealed information about the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s selfie camera.

According to GalaxyClub, Samsung will stick with a 10-megapixel selfie camera for the Galaxy Z Flip 5. However, it remains unclear whether the camera’s other specs, such as aperture and autofocus technology, will see any changes on the Z Flip 5.

Despite the lack of a selfie camera upgrade, the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s larger cover display should make up for it. With a larger display, capturing higher-quality selfies with the rear camera will be more convenient than on previous Galaxy Z Flip smartphones.

Moreover, the larger cover display could make a dedicated selfie camera somewhat redundant. Samsung could consider ditching it altogether for a proper full-screen inner display on its flip-style foldables, especially considering the larger cover display and the Flex Mode capabilities of Samsung’s foldables.

In terms of buying decisions, the lack of an upgrade to the selfie camera on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 should not be a cause for concern. While an upgrade would be nice, it’s not crucial to the device’s overall functionality. With the Galaxy Z Flip 5’s impressive larger cover display, users can still take high-quality selfies using the main camera.

The official release date of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 has not yet been officially confirmed. However, a recent leak suggests that Samsung may be planning to launch these devices earlier than expected. If the leak is to be believed, we could see the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 by the end of July.

Phones with 100MP+ rear cameras have been available for more than a year now, and while selfie cameras have also gotten an upgrade, the highest pixel count for a front-facing camera is 44MP. However, that might change soon.

According to the leaker, Digital Chat Station, a phone with a 100MP (read 108MP) selfie camera is coming. Unfortunately, he didn’t say who the manufacturer is, though we want to believe it is a Chinese one.

While a 100MP+ selfie camera is exciting, we are curious to know how it will be implemented. The available 108MP sensors are quite big and take up a lot of space on the back of phones, so putting one in front is going to mean the phone will either have a large notch or a large hole punch. However, we think there are two ways to pull it off without ending up with an unsightly notch or hole punch.

The first is via the pop-up design as the pop-up mechanism can be made bigger to accommodate the large sensor. The other way is to use motorized flip cameras just like the Zenfone 6 and Zenfone 7 by ASUS. This method allows you to put a 100MP camera on the back that doubles as the selfie camera when flipped up.

We look forward to seeing the first phone with a 100MP launch soon and we are pretty sure more manufacturers will jump on the train once the first device launches.

100MP selfie cameras are not the only things you should be excited about. It has been reported that phones with 200MP cameras will also arrive this year and the ZTE Axon 30 Pro may be the first phone in the world with a 200MP sensor.

However, a Weibo user (a popular Chinese microblogging website) recently shared live images of the Vivo S7. Looking at these images, it can be observed that the device features a thin and light design, with a triple camera setup on the rear and a dual camera module on the front. The rear camera has a bump, while the front has a notch on the top for the sensors.

Notably, the Weibo user also drew similarities that the Vivo S7 shared with the Huawei Mate 30 from the front. With both devices looking nearly identical. Although, they probably won’t share any similar specifications on the insides.
