Samsung Galaxy Z Fold9 Tipped to Revive Under-Display Selfie Camera by 2027
A new leak suggests Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold9 will bring back the under-display camera, offering a seamless inner screen experience without a visible cutout.
Samsung is reportedly planning to reintroduce an under-display selfie camera with its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold9, according to a new leak. This would allow users to enjoy the foldable's large inner screen without a visible camera cutout, enhancing the immersive experience.
The under-display camera technology, first introduced with the Galaxy Z Fold3 in 2021, places the camera beneath the screen, making it less obtrusive during video playback, gaming, or reading. Samsung continued this design through the Galaxy Z Fold6, but switched to a traditional punch-hole camera with the Galaxy Z Fold7 in 2025. Both the Galaxy Z Fold8 and Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra are also expected to feature visible selfie camera cutouts on their inner displays.
According to tipster @kro_roe on X, Samsung may reverse that decision with the next-generation foldable. The source claims that Samsung is preparing a device featuring an under-display camera, along with major changes to its internal hardware. However, the exact camera specifications remain unknown.
The Galaxy Z Fold9 is expected to arrive in 2027, although Samsung has not officially confirmed the device or its features. Earlier this month, the same tipster claimed that Samsung had already started developing the Galaxy Z Fold9.
This leak suggests that Samsung is exploring ways to improve the foldable experience by eliminating visible camera cutouts while potentially enhancing performance. As with all rumors, this information should be taken with a grain of salt until official announcements are made.
