There’s some spicy news for an upcoming Samsung smartphone. No, it’s not the soon-to-be-launched Galaxy S23 series, which is set to debut on February 1. The rumors relate to the Galaxy Z Fold 5, which is expected to launch in the second half of 2023. The rumored Galaxy Z Fold 5 may come with a 108MP main rear camera.

Not that they are bad in any way, they are just not at the level of premium slab phones, but they are priced higher than them.
Not only the main camera of the Galaxy Z Fold 5, but also the telephoto lens, have also been improved. According to reports, the main 108MP snapper will be accompanied by a 64MP camera with 2x optical zoom and a 12MP ultrawide shooter on the Galaxy Z Fold 5. But take this with a pinch of salt since Samsung upgraded the cameras on the Galaxy Z Fold 4 last year. The company’s track record indicates that you shouldn’t expect a major overhaul of the camera two years in a row.
