While the camera on last year's Galaxy Z Fold 5 was an improvement, the photography capabilities of Samsung's foldable phone seem to be one area where the company can continue to move forward Sadly, however, the main camera on the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 6 may be lacking, according to newly surfaced rumors

GalaxyClub reports that Samsung is currently testing a 50MP primary camera for the Galaxy Z Fold 6 The report, which cites a person claiming to be familiar with the company's plans, notes that Samsung may opt for a larger camera sensor, but that is becoming increasingly unlikely as we approach the summer, when new foldable phones from Samsung are expected

The 50MP main camera should sound familiar, as that is what the Galaxy Z Fold 5 offered last year (although we noticed an improvement in image quality when we tested that model) In fact, the last time Samsung upgraded the main sensor on the Fold series was in 2022 with the Galaxy Z Fold 4, which introduced a 50MP sensor

If the Galaxy Z Fold 6 launches with a 50MP camera, that sensor will most likely be the same camera that was on last year's Galaxy Z Fold 5 The device's camera performance was good and generally received positive reviews, but there have been reports that something bigger and better will eventually be included in the Galaxy Z Fold 6

In fact, early Thursday (February 15), X user and serial leaker Revegnus claimed to have heard rumors that Samsung was planning to put the same 200MP camera on the Galaxy Z Fold 6 as the Galaxy S24 Ultra According to Revegnus, initially Samsung was planning to reduce the battery capacity of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but instead chose to increase the size of the camera, which required additional capacity

The Galaxy Z Fold 6's camera has been the subject of several rumors over the past few months, with leakers sharing what they have heard about Samsung's plans However, until Revegnus claimed on Thursday, all of these rumors have said that Samsung will use the same 50MP sensor as before Ice Universe, which has proven to be one of the more reliable Samsung leakers, even said that the phone's camera is "the same as the Fold 5"

Since Samsung itself has not commented on its plans for the Galaxy Z Fold 6, it is difficult to know which leaker is correct However, all but one of these rumors suggest no change, so we may want to lean that way until we hear more about Samsung's possible plans

However, Samsung is not keeping everything the same in this year's fold The company is rumored to be planning a streamlined design that will translate to a thinner frame; the Galaxy Z Fold 6 should feature the same Qualcomm Snapdragon Gen 3 chipset and AI capabilities found in the Galaxy S24 line

Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Z Fold 6 later this year More rumors will be flying around as we get closer to the final announcement
