Breaking Foldable Camera Limitations
This potential upgrade would immediately place the Galaxy Z tri-fold in the same photographic league as the Galaxy S Ultra series, finally giving foldable users the flagship camera experience they’ve been demanding.
Key camera improvements expected:
- 200MP main sensor matching the S25 Ultra
- 100x digital zoom capability
- At least 5x optical zoom – a first for Samsung foldables
- Advanced computational photography powered by improved AI
Why This Matters
Since the original Galaxy Z Fold in 2019, Samsung’s foldables have been limited to a modest 3x telephoto zoom, forcing users to choose between innovative form factors and serious photography capabilities. The Z Tri-Fold changes that equation completely.
The leaked animations show seamless zoom transitions from wide-angle to extreme telephoto, suggesting Samsung has finally prioritized camera performance alongside foldable innovation.
Beyond Photography
The Z Tri-Fold isn’t just about cameras. We’ve been getting more leaks around multitasking features that take advantage of the triple-screen design, potentially transforming how we use mobile devices for productivity.
Expected features include:
- Desktop-like multitasking across three screens
- Enhanced DeX support for PC-like experiences
- Seamless app continuity between folded states
Market Impact
With flagship camera capabilities finally coming to foldables, Samsung could attract photography enthusiasts who previously avoided foldable phones due to camera compromises. This positions the Z Tri-Fold as a true Galaxy S Ultra alternative rather than a separate category.
