Samsung Readies Galaxy Z Fold9 With Under-Display Camera as 7.9mm Thickness Claim Faces Doubt

3 articles · Updated · GSMArena.com · Oct 31

Summary

  • Samsung is reportedly bringing an under-display camera back to the Galaxy Z Fold9 next year after dropping it on the Fold7 and keeping punch-hole cameras on the Fold8 line.
  • The rumored Fold9 is said to pair that camera with major internal changes while targeting Apple's foldable iPhone Duo, which reportedly uses a 4MP under-display inner selfie camera.
  • One earlier claim from the same tipster put the Fold9 at 3.9mm unfolded and 7.9mm folded, figures that look hard to square with talk of only minimal thickness and design changes.
  • That skepticism is heightened by the current wide Galaxy Z Fold8 measuring 4.5mm unfolded and 9.7mm folded, leaving open whether the leak refers to an early target or a different Fold9 variant.
