Samsung’s next book-style foldable could bring more camera changes than expected. A new report claims the Galaxy Z Fold 8, which isn’t expected until 2026, will focus on upgrading its secondary cameras rather.
According to GalaxyClub, Samsung plans to keep the 200MP primary camera introduced with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The 10MP selfie cameras on both the cover display and the inner screen are also said to remain unchanged, with no mention of the under-display camera returning.
The upgrades:
Where things get interesting is the rear camera setup. The telephoto lens is reportedly sticking with 3x optical zoom, but the sensor could be upgraded from 10MP to 12MP. The report suggests this may be the same sensor Samsung plans to use on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This upgrade is expected to improve clarity in zoomed shots, particularly in low-light conditions.
The ultrawide camera may see an even bigger jump. Samsung is said to be moving from the 12MP ultrawide of the Fold 7 to the 50MP one of the S25 Ultra. If accurate, it would significantly narrow the gap between the Fold series and Samsung’s top-of-the-line flagship slab phones.
As with any early leak, details could change. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to launch no earlier than July 2026, and Samsung has plenty of time to revise its plans. Still, GalaxyClub has been reliable with past Samsung hardware details.
For now, the leak suggests Samsung is continuing to treat its foldables less like experiments and more like true flagship camera phones.
