Despite its high price, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series has difficulty meeting users’ expectations in terms of camera features. For example, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, although almost twice the price, has similar camera hardware to the base model of the Galaxy S24 and stands out only with its under-screen camera embedded in the foldable screen.
Samsung continues to keep its best camera hardware exclusive to its Galaxy S Ultra smartphones. But according to a new rumor Galaxy Z Fold 6 may get the same 200MP camera as the Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Another interesting point that the source also claims is that Samsung preferred to add a 200MP camera to the Fold 6 “instead of reducing the battery capacity.” Since there’s been no sign so far that Samsung is considering reducing battery capacity, we’re a bit skeptical of this new rumor.
While the official launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is still around six months away, we’re likely to hear more rumors about the device. But over time, we’ll get a clearer idea of what Samsung has planned for foldable phone fans.
Expected innovations of Galaxy Z Fold 6
Regardless, Samsung won’t make too many major changes to the formula since foldable phones are already quite expensive. In fact, we would not be surprised to see Samsung focus on software innovations such as Galaxy AI while keeping hardware upgrades to a minimum in its future flagships.
If Samsung takes into account the criticisms about the camera features in the Galaxy Z Fold series and offers a revolutionary camera feature such as 200MP in the Galaxy Z Fold 6 model, it will be a sign that it listens to user feedback. If these rumors prove true, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will have one of the most powerful camera hardware on the market, which could make it an attractive option for photography enthusiasts. However, it is a matter of curiosity how Samsung will balance hardware updates and at the same time manage the cost of foldable phones.
