Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 expected to receive significant camera enhancements.

It appears that Samsung is already planning another significant camera upgrade for its upcoming foldable device, the Galaxy Z Fold 8. A recent report from GalaxyClub indicates that the company is not easing up following the enhancements made to the Fold 7; instead, they appear to be intensifying efforts, utilizing even more proven hardware from the flagship Galaxy S series to enhance the Fold’s photography capabilities.
Larger camera sensors, familiar foundations
The leak indicates that Samsung will retain the impressive 200-megapixel main sensor from the Galaxy Z Fold 7, alongside the standard 10-megapixel selfie cameras. Interestingly, the under-display camera, which has consistently varied in quality, may be permanently discontinued. It appears that Samsung is finally focusing on delivering clear and reliable photos rather than experimenting with hidden lenses.

However, the real excitement lies in the secondary lenses. The Fold 8 is expected to feature a sharper telephoto lens, upgrading to a 12-megapixel sensor while maintaining the 3x optical zoom. This seems to be the same hardware that is rumored for the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra, indicating that the differentiation between Samsung’s "Fold" and "Ultra" devices is narrowing.
The most significant enhancement is likely the ultrawide camera.
If the report holds true, Samsung will replace the old 12-megapixel sensor with a much more powerful 50-megapixel unit. This would mark a significant improvement for the series, addressing one of the few remaining shortcomings compared to regular smartphones.
For consumers, this is noteworthy. For years, opting for a foldable meant paying a premium while settling for merely acceptable cameras. An improved telephoto and a significantly better ultrawide camera would make the Galaxy Z Fold 8 a genuine "no-compromise" device, particularly for users who depend on their phone for serious photography or videography.

Additionally, it’s important to note that Samsung appears to be aligning the Fold 8’s camera technology with its other innovative projects, such as the TriFold concept. Since the current TriFold utilizes the same camera system as the Fold 7, it seems logical that future iterations would follow this upgrade path to maintain momentum.
Of course, it’s wise to take this information with caution. We are still over a year away from a probable July 2026 launch, and hardware plans can change quickly. Nonetheless, if these rumors are validated, it clearly indicates that Samsung is ready to cease regarding foldables as experimental devices and is poised to establish them as camera powerhouses.

After a day with the OnePlus 15R, two of its less flashy features have truly impressed me.
Our OnePlus 15R hands-on reveals its two standout specifications.
It only took a day of testing the fresh OnePlus 15R to discover two features that I genuinely adored. And no, I’m not referring to an extravagant new mode or addition – this phone excels in two fundamental areas better than most competitors available today. This budget version of the OnePlus 15 retails for $699.99 (for 256GB storage, or $100 more for 512GB), making it a substantial $200 cheaper than its sibling, though it signifies a $100 price increase over the OnePlus 13R (despite the absence of a zoom camera). It was launched alongside the OnePlus Pad Go 2, an affordable Android tablet, at the end of 2025.

Android could soon allow users to restrict access to Wi-Fi networks on shared devices.
Android is finally empowering users to determine who can automatically connect to saved networks on shared phones and tablets.
Google is in the process of developing a new set of Wi-Fi controls for Android, enabling users to decide whether a saved Wi-Fi network should be shared with other profiles on the same device (as reported by Android Authority). Presently, when a device connects to a Wi-Fi network, all other profiles on that device automatically acquire access without any verification. However, a new "Share Network" toggle in the latest Android Canary build allows users to disable this feature so that only the profile that inputted the credentials initially can connect automatically.
