Around a week has passed since the debut of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 on store shelves, yet indications suggest that Samsung is already in the early stages of developing the Galaxy Z Flip 6. Though still in the prototype phase, Samsung is reportedly addressing a longstanding issue with previous clamshell-style foldable phones, particularly their primary cameras.
The Rumors about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6
The enhancement of the camera in the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is a development that has been eagerly awaited. It’s worth noting that Samsung has taken a cautious approach with the cameras on foldable devices, with the clamshell variant often receiving a camera that’s considered average.
While not necessarily subpar, considering the price tag of $1,000, one would expect a more impressive camera. Although this fundamental approach remains, a recent report discloses that the Galaxy Z Flip 6 prototype formulated by Samsung incorporates a 50-megapixel camera. It’s reasonable to assume that this sensor could very well be featured in the base model of the upcoming Galaxy S24, set to launch next year.
Additionally, it’s interesting to note that the Galaxy S24 and S24 Plus are anticipated to adopt a flat middle-frame design akin to what is seen on iPhones. While no official confirmation is available, the proposition holds logical merit on multiple fronts. For instance, Samsung has maintained a consistent camera system across the Galaxy Z Flip series.
Given this continuity, it’s plausible that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will experience a substantial camera upgrade to address this particular aspect. This aligns with the precedent set by the Galaxy Z Flip 5, which saw an enhancement in the form of a new cover display.
Definitive confirmation is likely to emerge towards the end of the current year or early next year, post the launch of the Galaxy S24. If Samsung chooses to follow this path, it’s logical to expect improvements in the optics of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, thereby ensuring that Samsung’s leading foldable device maintains its competitiveness within the market.
