In contrast to the Galaxy Z Flip series’ emphasis on imaging and creativity in Samsung’s marketing campaigns, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 exhibited no discernible advancements in terms of camera hardware. While incremental enhancements were observed in image and video quality compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 4, they were not deemed substantial. However, Samsung is poised for a significant camera transformation with the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Reportedly under testing at Samsung, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is currently in the prototype stage as codenamed “B6,” distinct from its predecessor’s codename, “B5.” A prominent feature of these prototypes is the integration of a 50MP primary camera, a remarkable progression from the 12MP primary camera of the Galaxy Z Flip 5. Although specifics regarding this advanced 50MP camera sensor are presently undisclosed, speculation leans towards its potential alignment with the camera systems featured in the Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ models.
While uncertainties loom regarding potential enhancements to the ultrawide and selfie camera components, it appears reasonable for Samsung to consider elevating the selfie camera to a 12MP sensor, akin to the specifications of the Galaxy S23 series. Nonetheless, such determinations remain speculative given the year-long timeline before the plausible launch of both the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Anticipations also revolve around the prospective launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6 with an upgraded Snapdragon processor, potentially the 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It is conceivable that Samsung will address aspects of the foldable screen and software, with expectations for the devices to debut with Android 14-based One UI 6 software. Nonetheless, there’s a prevailing desire for enhanced battery capacities across both models.
