The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold may offer dual 12-megapixel cameras

Samsung may just be getting started with foldable phones. Plenty of leaks suggest the company is working on a clamshell-style foldable phone to be called the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip. It’s set to be similar to the new Motorola Razr — and now we have a few more details of the upcoming phone.

The new leak comes from Max Weinbach from XDA Developers, and details some specs that we haven’t yet seen. Notably, according to Weinbach, the phone will feature a new “Samsung Ultra Thin Glass,” which will have a crease in it. That’s a little different from the Galaxy Fold, which features a plastic instead of glass over the display. The display itself will be a dynamic AMOLED display.

Weinbach also offers some new details about the Galaxy Z Flip’s camera. Reportedly, the phone will offer a dual 12-megapixel sensor, with one wide-angle sensor and one ultra-wide sensor. That’s a little different from previous rumors, some of which even suggested that the device would offer a 108-megapixel sensor.

Other features will reportedly include a capacitive fingerprint sensor on the side of the device, along with 15W charging and wireless charging. Weinbach also sent out another tweet noting that a front display on the phone will come in at 0.1 inches. We assume that’s a typo — other rumors have said that the display will come in at 1 inch, which would make a little more sense. That display will show information like charging and battery status, the time, and so on. It may also serve as a viewfinder for the camera — allowing owners to use the rear-facing camera for selfies when the phone is closed. That should make for higher-quality shots.

Previous rumors have given other hints as to what to expect. For example, the phone will reportedly come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ processor, which is Qualcomm’s flagship processor from last year. It’s unclear if the Snapdragon 855+ will be featured in all models of the Galaxy Z Flip, or only in North American models, with other variants to include a Samsung Exynos chip.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold will be Samsung’s second foldable phone after the Samsung Galaxy Fold. We expect the company to reveal the phone at the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco in February, along with a new phone: the Galaxy S20.

It’s almost 2025, and it’s time to end the Android vs. iPhone debate

I had the iPhone 11 for over four years. It was the first iPhone I owned. It stayed with me through the COVID-19 pandemic and two overseas trips — one to Hawaii and the other to Spain.

When the time came to upgrade, it was only natural for my entire family to want to get their hands on the iPhone 16. I, on the other hand, wanted to get the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. However, that didn't happen — and the reason why is infuriating.
A very real (and very annoying) issue

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra may take a page from the Z Fold 6

Smartphone manufacturers rarely change how rear cameras look from generation to generation. When they do, it makes news, like when the regular Apple iPhone 16 launched with a new vertical pill-shaped camera system last month. Now, Samsung is about to make a camera design change, this time on the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra.

According to Ice Universe, Samsung’s next flagship device will feature a camera design slightly similar to that of the Galaxy Z Fold 6. While this isn’t an earth-shattering change, it’s interesting nonetheless.

The Samsung Galaxy A16 sets a new record for budget Android phones

We've known that Samsung's next lineup of budget phones was on the way, especially after all of the information that leaked last week. Now, we have confirmation on several elements of the phone, but the most important of them all is the incredible (and unheard of) six years of security patches the Galaxy A16 5G will receive from launch. That means it will be fully up to date until October 31, 2030.

We reported on this possibility a couple of weeks ago, but now it's confirmed — and that's a big deal. Many budget phones only receive two years of security patches post-launch. The Galaxy A16 5G's six years of support puts it only one year behind Samsung's flagship models in the Galaxy S24 series. For a phone as cheap as the Galaxy A16, that's incredible.
