An important leak occurred today: some folks on X published animations describing various software features from Samsung's first tri-fold smartphone, the Galaxy Z TriFold, which is expected to debut later this year.One of these animations focuses on the camera app, and that’s where things get really interesting. The clip shows how the zoom function works and reveals that the Galaxy Z TriFold could offer up to 100x zoom.This is a big deal because one of the longest-standing limitations of Samsung’s foldables, particularly the Galaxy Z Fold series, has been their zoom cameras. Every Fold so far has shipped with just a 3x telephoto lens, the same zoom level you get on Samsung phones that cost two or even three times less. Fans have long requested the company to bring the Galaxy S Ultra’s telephoto setup to the Fold lineup, but after seven generations, that hasn’t happened.If this leak is accurate, Samsung’s tri-fold might change that narrative right from its very first model. A powerful zoom camera would give Samsung’s most ambitious foldable a truly flagship-level photography experience to match its futuristic form factor. The main camera will likely be a 200MP unit like the one on Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy S Ultra devices.Of course, the Galaxy Z TriFold itself is unlikely to come cheap, but for those who can afford it, the good news is they may not have to live with the same camera compromises that Galaxy Z Fold buyers have dealt with for years.The post Samsung’s Galaxy Z TriFold leak reveals a major camera surprise appeared first on SamMobile.
