Galaxy Z Fold under-display camera might not be bad (or great)
TL; DR
- A tipster has claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 3’s under-display camera is “not bad”.
- The leaker further claims that this camera still does not reach the level of traditional selfie cameras.
- That claim comes after another source previously claimed that the Z Fold 3’s selfie camera will be good.
We have known for some time that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 will have a selfie camera under the display due to numerous leaks. But image quality is another big question, and it looks like a frequent tipster gave us an idea of what to expect.
Social media leakers Ice Universe claims that the Galaxy Z Fold 3’s under-display camera uses AI algorithms to enhance images and claims that the image quality is therefore “not bad”. The tipster adds that the camera is still not up to par with traditional selfie cameras, but believes it will be the best among the phones to come with the technology. See a screenshot of the tweet below.
This isn’t the first time a high profile source has made claims about the new foldable device’s selfie camera. Android police Writer Max Weinbach claimed that the camera under the display of the Z Fold 3 “will be fine“earlier this year.
Samsung wouldn’t be the first company to offer an under-display selfie camera, as the ZTE Axon 20 offered that feature late last year. However, we thought that selfies taken with the ZTE device all had a beauty filter-like glow, as if the camera lens was smeared. As long as Samsung stays away from this effect, it should at least be an improvement over the first device with a selfie camera under the display. However, there is more to a decent selfie camera under the display than avoiding the “smeared” look.
Another major challenge for the technicians is mixed light or low light situations as the screen above the camera blocks a lot of light from reaching the sensor. This is probably the biggest hurdle manufacturers have to overcome, so we’ll be excited to see how the Z Fold 3’s camera performs in these scenarios.
