Which phone has the better camera — the new Galaxy Fold 7 or the Pixel 9 Pro Fold?
Let's kick off this camera comparison starts with a look at the camera specs on both phones.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs Pixel 9 Pro Fold Camera Specs:
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 | Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold |
---|---|
Main Camera 200MP, f/1.7 24mm | Main Camera 48MP, f/1.7 25mm |
Ultra-wide Camera 12MP, f/2.2 | Ultra-wide Camera 11MP, f/2.2 |
3X Telephoto Camera 10MP, f/2.4 | 5X Telephoto Camera 11MP, f/3.1 |
Front Camera 10MP | Front Camera 10MP |
The big upgrade for the Fold 7 is clearly the new 200MP main camera, the same one that Samsung uses on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. With a larger sensor than before, the Galaxy has a theoretical advantage over the Pixel 9 Pro Fold main camera.
The ultra-wide cameras on both phones are comparable: a 12MP one on the Galaxy and an 11MP one on the Pixel, with a similar field of view.
For telephoto, the Galaxy goes with a 3X zoom camera, while the Pixel opts for a 5X zoom camera. This one is personal preference: 3X is better for portraits, while 5X is good for far-away objects and events like concerts. Our gut feel is that the 3X one is more practical, but this is up to everyone to decide for themselves.
But camera specs are only numbers and what really matters is the image quality, so let's take a look at the sample photos.
