We recently learned that Google\u2019s first foldable phone, the rumored \u201cPixel Fold,\u201d will pack the same 12.2MP camera sensor as the soon-to-be discontinued Pixel 3. Some people are very disapp<\/a>ointed by this news<\/a>, citing the new Pixel 6\u2019s 40MP sensor. But the Pixel Fold camera isn\u2019t a \u201cdowngrade\u201d\u2014in fact, it may be the first foldable phone camera that doesn\u2019t suck.<\/p>\n

Foldable phones are a feat of engineering, and their large displays unlock capabilities that are impossible on regular smartphones. But if a friend came across $2,000 and asked me which phone they should buy, I wouldn\u2019t point them to a foldable. Not just because they break easily, but because they\u2019re uncomfortable to hold, their camera quality stinks, and they\u2019re too thick when they\u2019re folded shut.<\/p>\n

Funny enough, these three problems are all related. If the Galaxy Fold 3 had larger \u201cflagship\u201d cameras, it would be too thick and have a poor weight distribution. But if Samsung wanted to make the Fold 3 thinner, it would need to strip<\/a> down the camera array. And if Samsung made the Fold 3 more comfortable to hold \u2026 well, it would need to change everything about the phone, but that\u2019s a different conversation.<\/p>\n

But unlike Samsung, Google relies on computational photography AI to pull the best possible images from its cameras. It can get a \u201cflagship\u201d photo quality from small, lightweight sensors\u2014that\u2019s why it reused<\/em> the old 12.2MP sensor in both the Pixel 4 and Pixel 5.<\/p>\n

In other words, the Pixel Fold\u2019s camera quality may be comparable to that of the Pixel 5. It could even be better than what the Pixel 5 has to offer, depending on what chipset Google uses (the company\u2019s new Tensor chip is better equipped for AI than Qualcomm\u2019s Snapdragon processors).<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all. The 9to5Google<\/em><\/a> dataminers who discovered the Pixel Fold\u2019s camera specs also found that it also packs two 8MP selfie cameras; one on the phone\u2019s inside and another on the outside. If true, then the Pixel Fold will take the same quality selfies whether you\u2019re in \u201cfolded\u201d or \u201ctablet\u201d mode, something that\u2019s impossible on the Galaxy Fold 3.<\/p>\n

All said, this leak is promising. Google could release the first foldable with a good set of cameras, and it may not be any thicker than Samsung\u2019s Galaxy Fold 3. Our friends at 9to5Google<\/em><\/a> believe that the Pixel Fold will launch next year, and if it does, I think we\u2019ll be in for a treat.<\/p>\n
