Samsung has updated the camera on the new Galaxy Z Fold 4, so how much better are the photos it takes compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 3? We found out.
Samsung has changed the camera system on the Galaxy Z Fold 4, updating it from the system found on the Galaxy Z Fold 3. While the camera was never a disappointment, it was still ripe for improvement, with many wanting Samsung’s flagship folding smartphone to also have a flagship camera. Has the Galaxy Z Fold 4 delivered?
For video, the Z Fold 4 can shoot 8K video at 24 frames per second and 4K video at 30 or 60fps, while the Z Fold 3 can’t shoot 8K video at all. It’s not necessarily a big advantage given the price and relative rarity of 8K televisions, but remember this: the Z Fold 4 will last you for years, and as time goes on, 8K video may become more useful.
The coffee cup with a piece of chocolate tiffin on the table shows one of the Z Fold 4’s most problematic differences — its dislike of focusing on anything up-close. I didn’t tap the screen to focus here, I just let the cameras get on with it. The Z Fold 3’s image is sharper, the text on the coffee cup has more detail, and the tiffin’s edge is in focus. The Z Fold 4 didn’t get any of that right. It’s a shame as the tone and color balance of the photo are superior.
The photo of the church perhaps goes in the opposite direction, with the Z Fold 3 showing more texture and detail in the wood and the roof tiles. It also has a little more atmosphere than the Z Fold 4’s photo, which looks a little overexposed. Otherwise, the two photos are practically identical. It’s worth noting I’m using the Z Fold 4 around its release date, and while the software is currently up to date , another update may arrive to further tune the camera and solve this unusual issue seen with the zoom mode.10x zoom The Z Fold 3 has a maximum 10x zoom mode, while the Z Fold 4 can go to a 30x digital zoom, but would you want to use either? No, probably not, but it’s worth seeing how the Z Fold 4’s 10x zoom looks compared to the Z Fold 3’s.
