Camera Specs Comparison | Pixel 9 Pro Fold vs Galaxy Z Fold 6 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h7lhqMVz3tK0d58.html

… an there goes all my excitement. I would think that the more expensive my phone, the better my camera. 😢

All they had to do was stretch out the camera bump to the end so it looks symmetrical and they could have fit in much better sensors. Who cares if it adds a few grams? It's a worthy trade off. I don't understand how Google expects us to buy a "Pro" phone when none of the camera sensors are even close to pro 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I mean it was the Pixel phones that proved the camera sensor isn't everything

The smaller battery is more noteworthy to me than the camera sensors...

The 3LU on the Pro Fold ultrawide is indeed a downgrade as both the sensor size and pixel size get smaller, which means less light can be brought into the lens. Like you mention, they'll probably lean hard into getting the best they can out of the sensor with the G4 and software algorithms, but the IMX260 in the Galaxy S7 had better specs than the 3LU.

Are Google and Samsung purposely not upgrading the cameras like we want, to not hurt the sales of their other devices?

Urg, wad hoping the Fold won't be gimped again. Really wish they would make it the same as the pro xl but just with the extra large screen that fold open. Yes it will be expensive but it will be worth it. Now you have expensive and gimped

One of the things I was hoping was an upgrade on the camera on the pixel pro fold I'm disappointed they are keeping the main sensor the same .it should be at least the same as the pixel 9 .why call it the pro? 1/2 sensor isn't good enough software can only get you so far but when it comes to low light it can be a different story. even the pixel 7a has better sensor. .not to mention the battery size is getting smaller. It's not looking good

On the fold I don't see the urgency to bump up the camera specs to the best on the market, the phone and tablet mode is what compensates for a lower grade camera. The biggest selling point on the foldable is its phone and tablet mode, a two in one feature, but a lower quality camera can't negate the main selling point. If you add the best camera specs on the market to the foldable then this to me is superfluous. I won't dispute whether having all the best in everything (hardware and software) in the foldable (which includes top camera specs) will increase its attraction. But at the same time having a subtle deficiency wouldn't hurt its attraction either in the market. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾

Of all the upgrades on the consumer wish-list I see endless requests for better cameras, stylus support, more conventional sized front screen, larger overall inner screen, more memory, IR blaster, microSD card support, wireless charging, faster charging, bigger batteries and better reliability. One of the least important requests seems to be lower overall thickness and weight - yet that is what all the foldable makers seems obsessed with - along with all the compromises needed to fit features inside the smaller, thinner case. Why is that?

Honestly, I expect the pixel 9 pro fold to still take better photos than my z fold 4. Pixel has amazing camera software. With my ZF4 I have to struggle to get a photo I'm happy with unless the subject is in full sun.

I like the idea to have 4x 50mpx Sensors on the Pixel 9 Pro XL, it ware better they change the Samsung for the main camera too! But it's cool they have 3x the same Sensor! This should be do more color consistency!

Like I said before when they changed the body style of the pixel fold 1, I wasn't feeling that new style from the form factor being close to a OnePlus in which I did not like that form factor, looks like I will just be getting the 9 pro smaller version and the regular razor 2024, but cheers to all that get the pixel fold 2 I really hope it's a great device.

Killed my excitement lol guess I won't be getting the new fold for another year. Thanks for the info

Now im for sure not regretting getting my one plus open

Eh, luckily cameras are the lowest priority for me.... All flagship phones have good enough cameras. They're certainly good enough for the pictures I take to remember where I parked in a big parking lot. My 4(5?) year old note 20 ultra takes excellent photos, and I'm sure this pixel fold (and the z fold 6 for that matter) take better pictures than my phone. When I watch phone reviews, I literally skip the camera review portion (which oddly enough usually seems to be more than half of the video). I'm still firmly seated on the hype train doing the happy dance.

I really want to follow up my Fold 1 with the second, but the dimensions changes along with the lackluster cameras, I think I'm going back to the candybar but keeping my fold as a backup. Really looking forward to the Pink variant 😅 Edit: Also a MAIN complaint of the Pixel Fold 1 was how heavy it was, so it seems Google is trying to fix that. I understand the tradeoffs and it's clear that Google AND Samsung are trying to find that good middle ground to not make a device that weighs 10 pounds or isn't to inconvenient to own

Still using GNK on the Pixel 9 pros is not a good thing. That's an old, small sensor. The best phone cameras have been using one inch sensors for like 3 years at this point.

I have an 8 Pro and was really hoping to get the 9 Pro Fold, but seeing these camera specs I'm not downgrading my camera while spending 2x my hard earned money. Oh well maybe next year?

The Pixel phones come on top in the Blind test, lets see how it does this year.

Well I guess im getting the pro XL this year and not the fold

Could they have cut costs for the cameras in order to keep the price competitive? Samsung's new fold is more expensive than last year's. Pixel Fold Pro Fold is rumored to be the same price from last year.

Remember when Google used the same 12mp camera for like 5 years because their computational photography was so good? Its 2024 now and this is unacceptable for a phone that almost costs $2,000.

Great to see Hardware parity between the 9 pro and pro XL, but I'm almost completely convinced there won't be software parity. Google has shown it can't help itself in that respect

For thin (Fold) I can see that. Sort of. The Chinese OEMs are doing thin better. I’m looking at the V3…

I was thinking what to buy between 9 Pro and Fold 2, now I'm definitely buying 9 Pro. Paying half the price for superior camera performance? Sounds like a deal to me. Second screen is a gimmick to me for that price

Welp I cant wait for the One Plus Open 2 now

can you cofirm this information for 9 pro xl: 16gb ram LPDDR5X and memories ufs 4.0????thank you

I’ll wait till Google move to TSMC chips. Tensor has been a disappointment.

Had a feeling this would happen. They are keeping the same price point basically. The new one wouldn't get that much better. Makes sense they aren't going with the top of the line cameras in the Fold 2. Interested to see how the reviews/camera performance shake out, but right now I am not likely to upgrade to the Fold 2 from the Fold. Perhaps the Fold 3 will lure me in...

It looks like it's going to be OnePlus Open all the way baby!! Damn, come on Google get with the program! 😞

Something i hate about phone makers regardless of brand is the way they will prioritise cosmetics or form factor by degrading the hardware , or not improving on it . Often they will do this and throw in a couple of gimmicky features as a carrot to potential buyers, i like good hardware , if it’s not good I vote with my money.

I had high hopes for the 9 pro fold but worse cameras and smaller battery just dosent justify that price point, going with the pro xl now i think

I hope these rumors fake. The problem is the prices going up like they putting their best hardware in these phones! Just drop a Pixel fold ultra for $1999 and be done with it!

I was not a fan of the new camera bump, but I thought they must have included top-of-the-line sensors if they were sacrificing the layout. Nope... Oh well hopefully software can pull it up, though then you have to wonder why put better sensors in the other phones.

All this being said there aren't many reasons to "upgrade" to the Pixel Fold 2 from the Pixel Fold so it looks like I'll be skipping the PF2 and hoping for more improvements next year 🤷🏻‍♂

"Brand identity? What's that?" Google, probably.

Well after the zfold 6 again didn't fix my issue with there cover display being to narrow, after holding one in the store I decided to go with either waiting on the next pixel fold or getting the oneplus and yesterday I ordered the oneplus got $700 trade in for my zfold 4 and they had a coupon for another $300 off so after taxes I got it for $750 which I was happy about. Now this information about the new pixel fold makes me feel even better about the decision to go with the oneplus, it's cameras will blow the pixel folds away. Plus I loved the option with the oneplus to essentially have two phones I can have my personal phone when I use one finger to unlock the phone and my work phone when I use a different finger to open the phone, I love that feature. Plus I love the multi tasking on the oneplus.

Seems like in the US if you want a foldable with good camera hardware it's the OnePlus Open.

They didn't upgrade the cameras, for the Fold?? 😢😢

Yeah…. I was ready to switch. Been playing with a 7a and in every blind camera test my wife prefers the 7a main camera photos over my iPhone 15 Pro Max, and so do I even with my iOS bias lol. Was going to get the Pixel fold 9. Not now. More money = better camera to me. Was hoping to replace my phone and iPad with one device. Maybe the pixel 9 xl

If i were in the market to BUY a Foldable id definitely PASS on both this year. How unfortunate that would be SMH OEM'S 😢

Very disappointed about the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold!! 😢😢 After trying the Z Fold6 in a shop, I was surprised in a positive way! The front screen is not so bad, and everything feels so good! So, after my OG Pixel Fold sold, I already ordered the new Z Fold6!! Thanks Shane for sharing new content quickly and good as always!👌👌

It shouldn't really matter if the software works. Remember... Google kept the same sensors for years with previous pixels and just updated software... Let's just wait until the fold is released...

How someone should interpret the camera spec evolution in such an expensive lineup as the PIXEL FOLD ? When manufacturers command from their customers to give them repeatedly, close to $2000, shouldn't they make it damn sure that their customers will get each time a respectful upgrade in software and hardware?

Shout out to Kamila for putting in overtime lol if these are true though, I'm going to Pixel 9 Pro XL and just grab a tablet. I'm not spending 1800 for those cameras on the fold 2

It looks like the One + Fold 2 is going to eat everyone's lunch

This is wild, considering how large the fold's camera module is going to be... Very disappointing... But thanks for the video anyway.

Okay... the fold is going for a different audience.. But given the price tag.. you would think it will be the best of the best....

First comment! Yeah, much of the news from the upcoming Pixel series is a little disappointing tbh. That upgrade to the front selfie camera in the non-fold phones is interesting though…

I...well...that sucks.

Do we have a pen support?

With a name like, "Pixel 9 Pro Fold", I half expected this one to be a true Pro level camera as well. Shaping up to be another disappointing camera in a folding phone at a premium price. Who knows, maybe the software will make it shine. Maybe.

As with Samsung and their Fold, the cameras aren't as good as what you get with their S Ultra line. Google shouldn't change the name of their Fold to the "Pro" name. I understand with size and space limitations you just can't fit the same sensors but they should've just kept the same bar (camera module) as the original Fold. I think that would've helped. The one thing I like about Samsung's Fold is that the form factor is the same. I don't like when a company just copies what the latest trend is ... I wish they would've kept their original design.

A little bit of a let down, I bet google is making up the difference here in software which sucks!

Wow. This is extremely disappointing.. Now I might get the z fold 6. Due to Google incompetence. I thought the purpose of the pro name was because of the cameras.

That's like a #Xiaomi type camera sensor move but I think these sensors are a couple years old but it's great ....

This is very disappointing. I am currently using a Pixel 8 Pro but was considering to make the jump to a foldable phone based on what was going to happen with the Pixel Fold 2 (dba Pixel 9 Pro Fold). Since Samsung has also punted on the new Galaxy Fold, maybe I will give up for awhile. The seem to be staying the same in terms of hardware but asking for more money.

When it comes to Google and hardware, i am not surprised by this one bit.

Let get images before we make claims!

Google just need to stay with slab phones. They're not ready for the folding game yet

Looks like if we want flagship level cameras (especially zoom) we have to look to the vivo x fold 3 pro, the ew honor v3 or possibly the xiaomi mix fold 3. Samsung and google are lazy AF and getting embarrassed by the chinese folds

I believe the battery is also worse

Same cameras, smaller battery and bigger screen, exynos chip again, not really a good buy

That is disappointing

I can see why this might be discouraging. On paper it's a bummer, but I honestly wouldn't worry about it too much, if at all. Most photos are processed through software anyways, not the raw sensor itself. So in terms of quality I STILL believe Google Fold 2 will be top dog, compared to ZF6 with their age old camera tech, and OPO which isn't even gonna be releasing this year anyways. So I wouldnt really consider this discouraging, since it's the processing will make up for whatever it might lack in raw sensor...I mean the the main talk about Pixels IS their great photos, THANKS to their software processing, which most brands have ALSO jumped on. Reason why Zfolds always have the same camera tech in them.

????? Huh

I knew it from the first place they would not make us satisfied with the fold family and until now I don't know why !! I was so excited for a fold device not anymore . They most fix they price with foldble device with low capacity of the camera

Definitely passing on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold now. Makes no sense to buy the most expensive phone when it lacks in certain areas compared to the flagship. Bringing the fold into the Pixel 9 lineup is a step in the right direction so that it's not constantly behind when it comes to processing chip but I won't be buying until the Fold's cameras are at the level of the flagship device.

Definitely not a fan of the build of the phone 😮

This has to be a joke man, goddamn...

Google disappointing again. What can’t they get this right? They have an opportunity to take the fold title if they just stop with the annoying, cheap shortcuts and compromises. Looks like Samsung may take the title here in the USA again. Come on Google. Why? I don’t like those really curved corners. They went overboard with that.

I want a fold phone with 10k miliamp battery and best cameras. Do not care about weight, I want quality usable tools.

It doesn’t need to have a 100MP ultra wide space zoom camera im buying it so i can turn my phone into a tablet 🤣
