No camera upgrade for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6
A recent rumor suggested that Samsung’s next-gen foldables might not get an upgrade in the charging speed department. It turns out that’s not all Samsung won’t be upgrading. According to a post on X by tipster Ice Universe, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 will apparently keep the same camera configuration of the Fold 5.
For context, the Fold 5 has a triple camera setup on the back of the phone. It consists of a 50MP main, a 10MP telephoto, and a 12MP ultrawide. Assuming the post is accurate, the Fold 6 will end up using the same cameras. Is this a bad thing? Kind of. Samsung’s foldables typically tend to fall short in the camera department.
The camera configuration of Galaxy Z Fold6 is exactly the same as that of Fold5. Whether it's the rear camera or the front camera or UDC

This isn’t to say the cameras are bad, it’s just not as good compared to the company’s flagship Galaxy S-series. Also, considering the price that customers are paying for the Fold series, you would think Samsung could equip it with better cameras. The semi-good news is that if you want a camera upgrade, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra could be it.
There are rumors that claim Samsung is working on an Ultra variant of its foldable. Ice Universe suggests that maybe the Ultra model could get a camera upgrade. But then again, we heard that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra could be exclusive to South Korea, so even if you wanted to, you might not be able to buy it.
