To check where that might be the case, we’ve tested them too and compared their performance to the main camera - across all of the usual DXOMARK Selfie test categories. The other two cameras might offer advantages in certain situations. So should you simply forget about the cover screen and under-display cameras and stick to the main camera for selfie shooting on the Z Fold3? Not necessarily. ![]() In our testing, the main camera delivered the best overall results among the three selfie cameras on the Z Fold3, which is why we picked this camera for the official DXOMARK Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3 Selfie review. The pinhole-style camera in the cover screen on the other doesn’t have to overcome such issues and should be much closer in terms of image quality to a “normal” front camera. The technology also has a negative impact on exposure and color rendering. Compared to the front camera in the ZTE Axon 20 5G, the first under-display camera we tested, reliability has improved, but resolution and detail are still low. On this path inevitably some light will be lost which can be especially challenging in low-light situations. The use of an under-display camera in the main screen means that there are no unsightly holes or gaps in the display but on the downside, the light captured by the camera has to pass through the display first before it reaches the lens. Our testers also noticed differences in video stabilization. In selfie mode, the main camera is optimized for the requirements of typical selfies, such as a short subject distance, faces and skin tones occupying a large portion of the frame, etc., rather than landscape shots or portraits at longer subject distances. This is because the camera uses a different imaging pipeline in this mode than it does in standard camera mode. You’ll also have to manually put the camera into selfie mode. When using the main camera, you can open the device to use the cover screen for framing the shot. The three ways to use the Galaxy Z Fold3 5G’s selfie cameras. The 4MP under-display shooter not only comes with the smallest sensor but also captures light that has to pass through the display first. The 10MP camera on the cover screen has very similar specs to the standard front cameras on more conventional Samsung devices, for example, the Galaxy S21. The 12MP main camera offers by far the largest sensor and therefore the best light gathering capabilities which should make it most suitable for low light use and offer the widest dynamic range. The three cameras come with different pixel counts and sensor sizes. Lastly, you can also use the main camera on the back of the device to capture selfies or make yourself seen in a call. While working on the large main screen with the unfolded phone users rely on an under-display camera that does not require any holes or notches in the display. When the device is folded a pinhole-style front camera in the cover screen is available for selfie and video calling duties. To ensure a selfie option is available in any folding state Samsung has equipped the Z Fold3 with a total of three cameras. ![]() The display setup also has a knock-on effect on the camera design. This unusual display setup and the top-end feature set, including a Snapdragon 888 chipset, firmly put the Z Fold3 firmly into Ultra Premium territory, making it one of the currently most expensive smartphones in the market. ![]() If more screen real estate is required, the device can be unfolded to unveil a massive 7.6-inch main screen. It is used like any normal smartphone display. In its folded state, the Z Fold3 offers a 6.2-inch AMOLED display at the front that Samsung calls the cover screen. The Galaxy Z Fold3 5G is the latest model in Samsung’s line of foldable smartphones and comes with two displays. ![]()
