South Korean smartphone giant Samsung unveiled its latest iteration of foldable phones - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 at its Unpacked event last month. While the upgrades to the book-style foldable were relatively minor, the clamshell had some notable changes, such as the big folder-shaped cover screen that enhanced the experience of the phone when folded. As the tech fraternity was digesting this update, the latest report claims that the Z Flip 6 could pack another big update pending for years in the camera department.
According to Galaxy Club, the early versions of the upcoming clamshell are undergoing testing with a 50MP primary lens. This could be an upgrade over the 12MP main camera on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 which is not an upgrade on paper but packs enhancements in software.
However, a reader must note that the product in question is relatively at a nascent prototype stage and might differ from the final version that will likely launch next year, about one year from now.
Coming to the current iteration, the Z Flip 5 comes with a better hinge than its predecessor. It is now available in India for purchase across diverse offline and online channels. As for some specifications, the foldable sports a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED main, 3.4-inch AMOLED cover screen, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, One UI 5.1.1 based on Android 13, 3700mAh battery with 25W charging support, 12MP primary OIS + 12MP ultrawide and a 10MP front selfie camera. It starts from Rs 99,999 for the base 8GB + 256GB variant.
