Galaxy Fold 2 tipped to ditch under-screen camera for more familiar solution
June 01, 2025
We’ve been hearing murmurs about theSamsung Galaxy Fold 2for months now, with everything from the code-name to screen sizes apparently leaking.
Earlier this year, we also heard thatSamsungwas considering an under-screen selfie camera on the inside screen. Now, industry expert Ross Young has claimed that the manufacturer has abandoned plans for this radical tech.
“No notch, hole punch on inside,” the CEO of Display Supply Chain Consultantstweetedin response to a tweet byXDA‘s Max Weinbach. TheXDArepresentative’s earlier tweet suggested that Samsung would offer a small notch on the Galaxy Fold 2’s main screen.
Either way, all signs are pointing to Samsung ditching the under-screen selfie camera on its upcoming foldable. This suggests that they had trouble getting it to work with the form factor. But the more likely reason is that, like other manufacturers, Samsung simply wasn’t happy with the picture quality.
Redmi general manager Lu Weibing outlinedchallenges with under-screen selfie camerasearlier this year. TheXiaomiexecutive said that high PPI screens reduce the amount of light that can get to the under-screen camera, likely resulting in darker, poorer quality images. Furthermore, Weibing said that simply reducing the display resolution wasn’t the answer either, as this introduced problems like color patches on the screen.
Nevertheless, these latest leaks suggest that the Galaxy Fold 2 will definitely be an improvement over the original Fold’s gigantic cutout on the main screen (seen in the main image). Hopefully Samsung gives us a proper outside screen too.
