Your Galaxy Z Fold 3 will have China-made camera instead of Samsung ISOCELL

The Galaxy Z Fold 3 will make its official debut at the upcoming Samsung Unpacked event next week. The hot topic of discussion is the phone’s selfie camera, which is placed under the foldable display and Samsung calls it Under Panel Camera.

Usually, the Korean tech giant uses its own developed ISOCELL camera sensors in its various smartphone lineups, meanwhile, it looks like, the upcoming foldable will not get the same treatment. According to the info via KiPost, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 features camera lenses from China’s Sunny Optical.
