Using the cameras on the Galaxy Fold

The Galaxy Fold brings together six lenses under your fingertips. One on the front, two on the inside and three on the back. This camera system includes a zoom lens for rich, detailed close-ups, a wide lens to capture more of your daily life and an ultra-wide lens for group selfies and panoramic landscapes.

There are six cameras on your Galaxy Fold:
