Pixel 9 Pro Fold's Camera FV-5 listing reveals 12MP main sensor, f/1.7 aperture, and more

Just when we thought we had a clear picture of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s camera specs, courtesy of an exclusive leak from Android Authority, a new report has thrown a wrench in the works.

First up, the reputable Android Authority stepped into the ring with some exclusive scoops. According to their insiders, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold camera setup will feature a 64MP Sony IMX 787 sensor with OIS for the main camera, paired with a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10.5MP telephoto shooter.

But in a plot twist, 91Mobiles swooped in with a fresh batch of leaks that upend the previous report. Their source? A Camera FV-5 certification that reveals some intriguing — and contradictory — details. According to the listing, the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will sport a 12MP primary camera, which will use pixel binning to produce 48MP shots.

This camera will feature f/1.7 aperture, OIS+EIS, a focal length of 25.5mm, and 70.5º field of view. There are no details of the type of sensor and physical size, but the listing points to a sensor area of 30.7mm2.

This new leak, if true, suggests a significant departure from the Android Authority’s report. The primary camera’s downgrade to 12MP but enhanced with pixel binning could indicate a different approach to achieving high-quality images. The front camera specs remain consistent with earlier leaks, featuring a 10MP shooter with EIS, f/2.2 aperture, and a 77.8-degree field of view. But details about the other sensors are still under wraps.

So, which leak is accurate? It’s a classic case of “believe nothing you read, and only half of what you see.” With less than a week until the official launch, the truth about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s camera capabilities and other details will be revealed. Until then, we’ll just have to enjoy the speculation and conflicting reports.
