Mobile Phone Reviews

We are reporting live from the big Galaxy Unpacked event that opened a new chapter in Samsung’s foldable smartphone design. We even got the opportunity to test out the new cameras.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 upgrades to an “Ultra 200MP camera” as its main – this uses the large 1/1.3” ISOCELL HP2 sensor. It’s joined by a 10MP 3x telephoto and a 12MP ultra-wide cameras. By the way, the ultra-wide lens now has autofocus, which allows it to shoot macro images. The under-display selfie camera inside is gone, replaced by a more standard 10MP punch hole camera with a wide 100° lens. The selfie camera on the cover display also has a 10MP sensor but with a narrower 85° lens.

We even took some selfies with the new front-facing camera. The one on the internal screen is wider, as you can see from the photos below.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 sticks to the familiar formula with a 50MP main and 12MP ultra-wide (usable for selfies on the expansive 4.1” cover display) and a 10MP 85° selfie camera inside. New features allow you to enable automatic framing and image adjustments for hands-free operation – the Flip can act as its own tripod.

We snapped some samples with the main camera, including some 2x crop zooms.

Can’t go without some ultrawide shots and some selfies.

One major addition on both the Z Flip7 and Z Fold7 is support for 10-bit HDR videos, which offer richer colors and deeper contrast. For now, regular 4K videos should suffice. We will take a deeper dive in our upcoming full reviews.
