The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is one of the most anticipated foldable smartphones of 2024, and rumors about its features and specifications are swirling around the internet. One of the most intriguing aspects of the device is its camera setup, which has been subject to conflicting reports.

Some sources claim that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will sport the same 200MP main sensor as the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is expected to be a massive upgrade from the previous generation. The 200MP ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor offers stunning image quality and performance.

However, other sources suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will stick to the same 50MP primary sensor as the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which is also used on the Galaxy S24. According to these reports, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will not bring any significant camera improvements and will focus more on other aspects such as design, display, and battery.

This discrepancy could be the technical challenges of fitting a large sensor into a slim and foldable device. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is rumored to be thinner and lighter than its predecessor, with a new hinge design that reduces the display crease. A larger sensor would require a longer focal length, resulting in a more prominent camera bump.

Another factor that could influence the camera decision is the cost. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is already expected to be a premium and expensive device, and adding a 200MP sensor could further increase the price. Samsung may want to keep the cost down and appeal to more customers, especially since it is also working on a more affordable foldable variant.

The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is tipped to launch in July or August this year, along with the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The device is expected to feature a unique display aspect ratio, a larger cover screen, an under-display selfie camera, and a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor. Whether it will have a 200MP camera or not remains to be seen.
