Galaxy Z Fold 3 cameras found an ally in DxOMark
While the Galaxy Z Fold 3 has an important upgrade, such as the support of the pen, it is also very criticized because the camera is disappointing. As if the 4MP under-display camera is not bad enough, the main camera on the phone hasn’t really moved forward since the Galaxy Z Fold 2. Compared to the Ultra Galaxy S21 from the beginning of this year, it sounds like a downgrade. , but at least DXOMark think it’s not a total loss, depending on which camera function is important to you.
Compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 2 years ago, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 camera did not move one pixel. Still has the same 12MP main sensor, 12Mptelephoto with 2x optical zoom, and 12MP ultra-wide camera. The only good thing here is that the camera lump is getting smaller, even though it might also strengthen the feeling that it is a step backwards instead of a forward leap.
Given the specifications of the Galaxy S21 Ultra camera, this year’s fold clearly looks like that. In addition to the main 108MP main sensor, the Samsung Premier Galaxy S model gets two 10MP telefoto cameras, one of which has a periscop lens with 10x optical zoom. 12MP ultra-wide camera may have the same sensor, but it gets a dual-pixel pdful upgrade.
It almost sounded like a recipe for disaster for the Galaxy Z Fold 3, but Dxomark thought everything was still exercising in the end. Folding phones get points for accurate exposure, fast autofocus, and low number of noise. Video recording reveals reliable stabilization and the same exposure performance.
Not surprisingly, the telephone has a bad value in an ultra-wide and zoom test because of hardware. There are several problems under low lighting, worse than Galaxy S21 ultra at least. There are also some colors of excess puddle, although often default in many smartphones today.
Dxomark gives Galaxy Z folding 3 scores on average 124, only a higher point of Galaxy S21 Ultra. Although there may be some debate about the methods and results of the site, it only suggests that the folding camera is not as bad as it sounds on paper. Definitely behind his colleagues, but Samsung might prefer to put a decent camera but it is outdated to push prices down a little and make the Galaxy Z fold 3 more easily accessible by more consumers.
