Galaxy Z Flip 4 camera: subtle but meaningful improvements

Samsung is bracing itself to announce its new foldable duo, including the Galaxy Z Flip 5, by the end of July, and that seems like the perfect excuse to take one more look at the camera system of the Galaxy Z Flip 4!

Frankly, when it comes to Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip series, the cameras have never been one of the more notable features. They don't exactly stand out with anything. Nevertheless, the Galaxy Z Flip 4 does come with a somewhat upgraded camera experience compared to its predecessor, thanks to a few key factors that are outside the main camera components.

For example, the new 4nm chipset that found inside has improved the processing part of taking photos and videos, making them more powerful compared to that on the Galaxy Z Flip 3. Curious how exactly that is? Keep reading and let's find out together.

Galaxy Z Flip 4 camera upgrades

The main area where the Galaxy Z Flip 4 has received upgrades is its main camera, and more precisely, the main camera's performance in low light conditions. To achieve this, Samsung has made the pixels on the new model larger than before, increasing them from 1.4 μm in size (Z Flip 3) to 1.8μm (Z Flip 4). Bigger pixels mean that each one is able to capture more light, helping the phone perform better when shooting photos and video in darker conditions.

Another upgrade that contributes significantly is the addition of a new camera Neural Processing Unit (NPU), which handles the software side of things, or more particularly, the image processing part of the process.

Lastly, there are a couple of software features thrown in, although they are more gimmicks than anything useful. One is a camcorder mode that lets you imitate shooting with, well... a camcorder, but that option was already there and Samsung just seems to have changed the name of it. The other "feature" is being able to choose which part of the display is your viewfinder, which is the same functionality as the camcorder.

How many cameras does the new Galaxy Z Flip have?

The Galaxy Z Flip 4 has two cameras: a main and an ultra-wide, as well as one selfie shooter. Basically, it is the same configuration as that of the predecessor.

Galaxy Z Flip 4 camera: How many megapixels does it have?

The Galaxy Z Flip 4's cameras have the same amount of megapixels as the ones on the Z Flip 3. In other words, a 12MP main camera, 12MP ultra-wide, and a 10MP selfie snapper.
