For selfies, it will have an 8MP Sony IMX355 front-facing camera, along with another Samsung S5K3J1 camera on the front.

Battery and charging: It is tipped to get the largest battery amongst foldable smartphones with a 4821mAH capacity supporting 30W charging. It will surpass the 4400mAh battery of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4.
