[Update: False alarm] A Galaxy Z TriFold prototype shows four rear cameras

Update: It turns out there is no Galaxy Z TriFold with four rear cameras: the device in the image showing said prototype was just the regular TriFold, and the fourth camera was added by Galaxy AI's object eraser feature when the user tried to erase the sticker that was applied at the back. Nothing to see here, folks!

Original story follows:

Samsung's first tri-folding smartphone, the Galaxy Z TriFold, was recently announced. It'll be available later this week in South Korea and sometime early next year in the USA. This phone-tablet hybrid has three rear-facing cameras, but Samsung might have once made a variant of the device with four rear cameras.

We have spotted a LinkedIn post that displays a Galaxy Z TriFold, but it has four rear-facing cameras instead of three. Its images were posted by Omar Saheb, who is the VP Marketing & E-commerce at Samsung Electronics MENA (Middle East and North Africa). As you can see the images above and below, the phone appears to have four rear-facing cameras.

Since it is too early for the second-generation Galaxy Z TriFold to leak, it is likely one of the many prototypes that Samsung designed before finalizing the final design of its first tri-folding phone. We noticed that the fourth camera (the one at the bottom) on the rear is much thinner than the other three.

While the Galaxy Z TriFold has a capable 200MP primary camera, some fans and enthusiasts expected to see better ultrawide and telephoto cameras on the phone. It has a 12MP ultrawide camera with autofocus and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and OIS. A fourth camera, possibly a 50MP sensor paired with a 5x optical zoom lens, could have definitely made the phone more capable in terms of imaging.
