Samsung may not equip the Galaxy Z Fold 5 with a 200MP camera, or even a 108MP unit. According to the noted tipster Ice Universe, the upcoming foldable will stick to a 50MP sensor for the primary rear camera. They precisely claim that it’s the “same camera module” found on the 2022 model. It is reportedly “impossible” for the Korean firm to equip the handset with the 200MP camera found on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The source doesn’t explain whether it has to do with costs or if it’s a technical limitation.
Galaxy Z Fold 5 may not get improved cameras
Based on the leaks and rumors so far, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 looks set to bring plenty of upgrades to Samsung’s foldable lineup this year. Most notably, the handset could be thinner and come with a less visible display crease. The company has developed a new waterdrop-type hinge to make this possible. We are also expecting improvements in terms of durability and overall functionality of the phone.
There have been talks about camera upgrades too. But if the latest rumor is accurate, that won’t be the case. The Galaxy Z Fold 5 would come with the same camera setup as its predecessor. At least the primary rear shooter will remain unchanged.
This would be a little disappointing. Not because Samsung should have included a 108MP or 200MP camera. A 50MP unit is fine. But an unchanged sensor isn’t. The company could have equipped the new foldable with the improved camera hardware.
The Galaxy Z Fold 4’s 50MP camera has an aperture of f/1.8, Dual Pixel PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus), and OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). While it is no slouch, there’s always room for improvement. The fifth-gen foldable would have benefitted more from Samsung’s improved camera software and processing if it got hardware improvements too.
But not to be. Hopefully, the company has optimized the sensor to make it work better. After all, smartphone photography is a lot about software rather than hardware.
No S Pen slot, unchanged cover display
Rumors about the Galaxy Z Fold 5 have been coming quite frequently in recent weeks. The word is that Samsung will not include a built-in S Pen slot because it wants to make the foldable thinner. And an unchanged length and breadth mean the cover display may not change either. We should hear more about the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 in the build-up to their launch in the second half of the year.
