This trend will supposedly continue next year with additional camera upgrades for the Galaxy Z Fold 8.\n<\/p>\n<p>According to new data discovered by GalaxyClub, Samsung&#8217;s next premium foldable phone, tentatively named Galaxy Z Fold 8, will borrow some Galaxy S DNA and boast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galaxyclub.nl\/samsung\/galaxy-z-fold-8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">upgraded telephoto and ultrawide<\/a> cameras.\n<\/p>\n<p>The phone will retain the same 200MP primary shooter and 10MP selfie sensors as the Galaxy Z Fold 7. And no, the under-display camera isn&#8217;t coming back.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nHigher resolution upgrades\n<\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy Z Fold 8 will have a telephoto shooter with the same 3x optical zoom but a higher resolution of 12MP, up from 10MP. It should be the same telephoto sensor that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may employ early next year.\n<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 reportedly adopts a new ultrawide shooter with a resolution of 50MP, up from the Fold 7&#8217;s 12MP.\n<\/p>\n<p>Do take these rumors with a pinch of salt. The source is proven, but it&#8217;s too early to be sure of anything. The Galaxy Z Fold 8 may be unveiled in July 2026 at the earliest. A lot can change by then.\n<\/p>\n<p>It will also be interesting to see if any of these Galaxy Z Fold 8 camera upgrades will appear on the first Galaxy Z TriFold sequel.\n<\/p>\n<p>The latter device is even less certain at the moment, but if the sequel&#8217;s fate rests on the success of the original TriFold, the latter is doing pretty well and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-galaxy-z-trifold-sells-out-once-again-within-two-minutes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">selling out like hotcakes<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>In any case, the original TriFold does have the same cameras as the Fold 7. And it&#8217;s not hard to imagine that the TriFold 2 and Fold 8 may share a similar path.\n<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s a long way to go until either phone goes on sale. If you would like to use a premium foldable device right now, you should check out the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The TriFold is barely available in a couple of markets, plus, the holiday season has treated prospective Fold 7 buyers very kindly.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a class=\"google-preferred-news-source-cta-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/add-sammobile-as-a-preferred-source-on-google-to-always-get-the-latest-news\/\" style=\"display: inline-block;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"google-preferred-badge\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1764861020_319_google_preferred_source_badge_dark.png\" alt=\"Google Preferred News Source\" style=\"max-width: 50%; height: auto;\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With the release of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 this past summer, Samsung finally brought a couple of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":190667,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[108391,342,111,139,69,145],"class_list":["post-190666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mobile","tag-galaxy-z-fold-8","tag-mobile","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190666\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
