Highlights
- Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 might include a new triple camera system.
- Design patents suggest a possible third lens for the upcoming foldable.
- Galaxy Z Flip series may see its first zoom camera in the next iteration.
- The Z Flip 7 continues Samsung’s trend of yearly improvements to foldables.
Samsung might upgrade the camera on their next Galaxy Z Flip 7 phone. Some new design patents from the company show a Flip phone with three cameras on the back.
Like the Galaxy S phones, these could be a main camera, an ultrawide lens, and a zoom camera. The current Flip models don’t have a zoom camera yet.
New Galaxy Z Flip Renders
Samsung has been making foldable flip phones under the Flip name since 2020. They’ll soon release their sixth model, the Galaxy Z Flip 6. Each new version gets some improvements over the last one.
Over the years, the cover screen got bigger, the hinge got slimmer, the thickness went down, and the build quality got better.
Samsung also made the cameras better on these phones. However, they never added a zoom lens yet.
The Flip series is the only $1,000+ Samsung product without a zoom camera. Last year’s Z Flip 5 didn’t have it, and leaks suggest the upcoming model won’t either – it seems to just have two rear cameras again.
Three Cameras on Z Flip?
Meanwhile, a site called Galaxy Club found two Samsung design patents showing three rear cameras on a Flip phone. One has the cameras and flash stacked vertically next to the cover display. The other separates the rectangular cover display from the cameras.
Supposedly Samsung filed for these patents in summer 2022 and got them approved in early 2023.
That was before they enlarged the cover screen and flattened the hinge on the latest models. So maybe Samsung already used some of these patented designs on the Z Flip 5, and will add the third camera later.
It’s unclear if the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will actually get three rear cameras. We also don’t know if that third lens would be a telephoto zoom or something else.
Rumours about Samsung’s 2025 foldables may start in a few months, after the expected July launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Z Fold 6. We’ll keep watching for any updates.
