Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 : Cameras
Front Camera
Samsung flagship smartphones are notable for featuring cutting-edge cameras, but the Galaxy Z Flip 6 stayed with older cameras.
In the front, it uses a 10 MP punch hole camera with an f/2.2 aperture, built around the Samsung ISOCELL 3J1 (S5K3J1) sensor with a 1.22 µm pixel size. This isn’t a new sensor, being first used in the Galaxy S20 series.
This camera can record video at up to 4K resolution at 60 fps, but you will likely end up using this selfie camera only for video calls, and use the better cameras at the back for your “selfies”!
Improved Dual Cameras At The Back
While the front camera remained the same, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 now has a new dual-camera system at the back, which consists of:
- a 50 MP main camera, with f/1.8 aperture
- a 12 MP ultra-wide camera, with 123° field of view, and f/2.2 aperture
The new 50 MP camera is the same camera used in the Galaxy S24 and S24+ smartphones. It uses the Samsung ISOCELL GN3 (S5K) sensor, which is a 1/1.57-inch sensor, with 1.0 µm pixels. This camera can record 4K videos at up to 60 fps.
The ultra-wide angle camera is built around the Sony IMX258 sensor, which dates back to 2017. It also has rather small 1.12 µm pixels. It’s a shame Samsung hasn’t gotten around to upgrading it.
Galaxy Z Flip 6 users will quickly realise that it’s better to use these two rear cameras for better selfies. Just double-press the Power button with the Galaxy Z Flip 6 folded to activate these cameras. You can easily switch between the two using the Flex Window.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 : Photo Samples
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 now features a new 50 MP Dual Pixel camera, which is the same main camera used in the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+ smartphone.
Even though it supports 50 MP, it will take 12 MP photos by default – combining four physical pixels into one large virtual pixel for better low light performance, and a smaller file size of about 3 MB (HEIC format) with a resolution of 4000 x 3000 pixels – similar to the 12 MP ultra wide-angle camera.
When set to its full 50 MP resolution, the camera takes photos with a resolution of 8160 x 6120 pixels, and a file size of about 10-12 MB. Unless you enjoy pixel peeping, it’s best to use the 50 MP mode only when you need to take photos of faraway objects without resorting to digital zoom.
When used in the selfie mode, the rear cameras deliver Instagram-friendly square 9 MP photos with a resolution of 2992 x 2992 pixels, and a file size of about 1.3 MB (HEIC format).
