A recent report suggests that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will not feature an under-display camera (UDC) like its predecessor. Instead, the Fold 7 is expected to adopt a traditional punch hole camera for its main interior display. This decision is believed to be influenced by concerns over the subpar image quality produced by the UDC on the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Despite this change, the Fold 7 will offer a larger screen size, providing users with more viewing space.
In comparison to its competitors like Apple, who are moving towards under-display cameras, Samsung's choice to stick with a punch hole camera may impact consumer interest. However, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is still anticipated to be a strong contender in the foldable smartphone market, competing against devices like the Oppo Find N5 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to feature Samsung's Exynos 2500 processor in certain regions.
Overall, the decision to forego the under-display camera on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may affect its appeal to consumers, especially as rival brands explore alternative camera technologies.
