Samsung Reduces Selfie Camera Cutout on Galaxy Z Fold 8

The Galaxy Z Fold 8 sounds pretty familiar based on initial leaks, but Samsung is apparently making a tweak to the selfie camera cutout that sounds interesting. According to Ice Universe, Samsung will shrink the Galaxy Z Fold 8’s selfie camera cutout on the outer display by a considerable margin. Side‑by‑side, the different looks are immediately noticeable.

• Fold 7 cutout diameter: 3.7 mm
• Fold 8 cutout diameter: 2.5 mm

As mentioned, it looks like a pretty big difference, and reclaiming screen space while making cutouts less noticeable is always nice to see.

Is the Cutout Size Really Important?

I’m a Galaxy Z Fold 7 user on the daily – I bought this phone with my own money. It’s a great device, but there are areas where Samsung has plenty of room for improvement: heat management, battery life (and size), dust down the hinge crease, and more. Those are the issues I’d love to see addressed long before the selfie camera cutout ever comes to mind. Samsung is certainly capable enough to fix more than one problem at a time, but as the industry continues to move forward, I’m hoping there wasn’t too much focus on this minor change versus the laundry list of other problems that need attention.

Am I alone? What do you think? Do you care about the selfie camera cutout’s size? Let’s discuss.
