Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 may skip primary camera upgrade

While the Galaxy S23 Ultra sets new standards in the smartphone camera, Samsung is reportedly not bringing an upgrade to Galaxy Z Fold5 primary camera. A trusted tipster claimed that the company’s next foldable phone will continue to use the Fold4-like camera module.

According to the leak, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5 will continue to use the same camera module (primary) as the Galaxy Z Fold4. In addition, the source noted that the HP2 camera installation in the next Fold is impossible, suggesting the sensor’s exclusivity to S23 Ultra throughout the year.

The sketchy leak just tells us the Galaxy Z Fold5 could be equal to its sequel in the camera department. However, it’s also reported that the primary camera sensor will remain the same. And the company might bring new Telephoto and ultrawide lenses with the Fold5.

For your info, the Galaxy Z Fold4 uses an ISOCELL GN3 sensor, featuring a 50-megapixel resolution. More key specs of this camera sensor include an f/1.8 aperture, 1.0-micron pixels, and benefits from Dual Pixel PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus) and OIS (Optical Image Stabilization).

Since the vanilla and Plus Galaxy S23 models don’t have upgraded primary cameras, Samsung did a pretty impressive job by enhancing the algorithm code. We hope, the same will happen with the Galaxy Z Fold5 and the company may amaze fans with software-derived tricks.

On March 16, the Korean tech giant is expected to launch the Galaxy A54 5G smartphone along with the Galaxy A34. For the next-gen foldable phones, we believe, Samsung may pick the August/September 2023 release timeline, continuing its conventional strategy.
