The Galaxy Z Flip is not distinguished by the quality of its selfies. According to the DxOMark test, the front photo sensor of the flip smartphone is not up to par with the competition. The smartphone therefore takes 19th place in the ranking dedicated to the best phones for selfie buffs.
Galaxy Z Flip, the second foldable smartphone from Samsung, has just passed the test bench of DxOMark, the French laboratory specializing in photography. “The overall image quality offered by the Z Flip’s front camera is quite far from the performance of the other recent flagships we have tested” announces DxOMark at the outset.

A photo sensor for selfies worthy of a mid-range smartphone
The smartphone therefore has an overall score of 83, tied with the photo sensor for selfies of the Galaxy A71, a mid-range priced at 479 euros. In this area, the Z Flip is also outdistanced by many older generation smartphones, such as the Galaxy Note 9, the Pixel 3, the Honor 20 Pro or the OnePlus 7 Pro.
In detail, the Z Flip inherits a score of 86 in video and 82 in photography. In photo, DxOMark particularly regrets “Blurred faces even at a short distance”, a lack of sharpness or detail, a whimsical white balance and “Disappointing bokeh effects”. On video, the laboratory points rather to the lack of detail in low light, the strong presence of noise and, once again, many blurry faces even at close range.
“There are much better smartphones for selfies in this price range” notes DxOMark. As a reminder, the Z Flip is sold at a price of 1,500 euros. Anyway, it should be remembered that the Galaxy Z Flip was never sold as a high-end photophone. Unsurprisingly, the smartphone stands out more thanks to its form factor and its foldable OLED screen than by its photo sensors. What do you think of the laboratory test? We await your opinion in the comments.
