Description:
A leaker claims that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will look more like the Z Fold 3 than an earlier leak suggested.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

While weve heard plenty of leaks about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 , we
havent seen much of it yet, and what seemed like our best look at the
possible design might be wrong.

Thats according to TechTalkTV , who claimed on Twitter that the camera layout of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will be almost exactly the same as it is on
the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 , rather than sporting a new design that we saw
in unofficial renders shared by @OnLeaks a leaker with a great track record.

Those renders showed a camera design that seems more inspired by the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra , with lenses rising directly out of the rear, rather than being housed in a distinct camera block. EXCLUSIVE: The camera layout of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will not look like the one shared by Onleaks.

Its not a vast difference though, because both those renders and the Galaxy Z Fold 3 include three vertical lenses, with a flash beneath them. Its just
that the Z Fold 3 and according to this latest leak also the Z Fold 4 has a metallic housing around the lenses.

Wed take this claim with a pinch of salt, especially as OnLeaks has more of a track record (though TechTalkTV has accurately leaked things in the past
too), but OnLeaks replied to the tweet simply saying Damn, so it doesnt sound like theyre disputing the claim.

If you were hoping for a refreshed design this might be a shame, but its not all bad news, as in a follow-up tweet TechTalkTV also claimed that the
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 will for sure have a 50MP main camera.

This isnt a new claim various other leakers have previously said as much,
but hearing it from another source makes it ever more likely, and that would make for an upgrade in megapixels at least from the 12MP main camera of the Galaxy Z Fold 3. Analysis: much needed camera improvements

If we had to choose between either a new design or a new sensor, then well definitely take a new sensor, as while the 12MP main one in the Samsung
Galaxy Z Fold 3 is fine, its far from exceptional.

The rumored 50MP one here is in all likelihood the same 50MP sensor as the Samsung Galaxy S22 has, and we were fairly impressed with its performance. Saying that, given how expensive the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 is sure to be, wed sooner have the 108MP sensor from the Galaxy S22 Ultra - but well take what we can get.

Previous leaks point to other camera upgrades too, with multiple sources suggesting the Galaxy Z Fold 4 will sport a 3x optical zoom telephoto camera, up from 2x optical zoom on the Z Fold 3. Again, thats not as much of an improvement as wed ideally like, but its a lot better than nothing. Still, from what we've heard so far we're not sure the Z Fold 4 will be troubling
our list of the best camera phones .
