Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 has a SK Hynix sensor for its Telephoto Camera

Samsung has recently released the Galaxy Z Fold 3 as one of the latest flagship foldable smartphones under the Galaxy Fold Z lineup. It’s the successor version of the Galaxy Z Fold 2 and uses the same type of rear-facing camera setup. Both the foldable do have a 12MP wide-angle camera lens with OIS, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 12MP telephoto lens that has 2x optical zoom with OIS. But as per a new report from South Korea, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 is using the SK Hynix sensor in its telephoto lens.

Talking about the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, it has a 12MP triple rear camera setup that includes a 12MP primary camera (f/1.8 aperture), a 12MP (f/2.2 aperture), a 12MP (f/2.4 aperture) lens. While it has a 10MP selfie camera (f/2.2 aperture) and a 4MP (f/1.8 aperture) lens under the internal display. The particular model number of the SK Hynix sensor is Hi-1337 which was launched last year and features a 13MP resolution with 1µm pixels, and 2x optical zoom.

The sensor is quite powerful that can be used as a wide-angle lens or a selfie camera as well.

Whereas Samsung and Sony are taking the lead in the camera sensor segment with market shares of 22% and 40%.
