Recent rumors are suggesting that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 may replace its under-display camera with punch-hole cutouts for improved selfie quality. This change could be significant as it indicates a shift back to traditional camera technology on both the inner and outer screens. According to reports, notable insider PandaFlash shared insights on social media indicating that the Z Fold 7 is moving away from the under-display selfie camera setup. Recent renderings show a clear punch-hole design on both screens, signaling a potential return to the specifications of the Galaxy Z Fold 2.
Since the introduction of the under-display camera with the Z Fold 3, Samsung has faced criticism regarding the clarity and overall quality of selfies taken with this technology. The under-display camera system, while innovative, has struggled to deliver the same image quality as traditional punch-hole cameras. The additional display layers placed over the lens often lead to problems such as blurry or poorly exposed images, along with visual artifacts. In contrast, punch-hole cameras typically provide cleaner and sharper photos without the complications of layers interfering with the lens.
If these changes are indeed implemented, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could help Samsung regain its competitive edge in the foldable market. This move might be an opportunity for Samsung to enhance its reputation and return to the forefront of the foldable phone race, especially after a period of playing it safe with design options. As we await the official announcement, speculation suggests that Samsung may unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 on July 9. This could mark an exciting new chapter for the company’s foldable devices.
