Samsung is all set to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 in early July. As the launch date inches closer, new leaks are revealing exciting details about these next-generation foldables. While some of the information is still evolving, here’s the latest scoop on what you can expect from Samsung’s upcoming foldable lineup.
Galaxy Z Fold7
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is shaping up to be Samsung’s thinnest foldable yet. Early leaks suggested a folded thickness of 9.5mm, but the latest reports from TechManiacs claim it could be just 8.2mm when folded. To put that into perspective, the Oppo Find N5 folds to 8.9mm, so if true, Samsung would leap ahead of the competition in terms of slim design.
Still, it’s smart to take these thickness numbers with a pinch of salt until official confirmation comes. Samsung would need to make significant design improvements over the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, which folds to 10.6mm.
In terms of cameras, the Z Fold7 will sport a 200MP main sensor like the Special Edition. However, there will be no major upgrades to the other cameras — the telephoto remains a 10MP 3x zoom lens, and the ultra-wide stays at 12MP.
The screens are getting bigger too. The inner display is expected to grow from 7.6 inches to a whopping 8 inches. The cover display is also set to increase, from 6.3 inches to 6.5 inches, giving users more room to work and play.
Galaxy Z Flip7
The Galaxy Z Flip7 will also see some exciting upgrades. One major change is the cover display, which will grow from the 3.4-inch folder-shaped design to a nearly rectangular 4-inch panel. This should make the external screen much more functional.
Though there are no solid numbers yet on thickness, the Flip7 is expected to be thinner than the Flip6. It’s also getting a battery boost — from 4,000mAh to 4,300mAh. However, don’t expect faster charging speeds; those will reportedly remain the same.
As for the cameras, no major upgrades here either. Samsung will likely stick with the 50MP main sensor and the 12MP ultra-wide camera setup from the Flip6.
Performance
Both the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, promising top-tier performance and efficiency. However, a special version of the Flip7 (possibly named Flip SE) may feature Samsung’s Exynos 2400e chip instead.
This chipset difference might mean some performance variations between models, depending on the market.
Pricing
Now for the not-so-great news. Reports suggest the Galaxy Z Fold7 will be €100 more expensive than its predecessor. Since the Z Fold6 launched at €2,000, expect the Fold7 to start around €2,100.
On the brighter side, there are no reported price increases for the Z Flip7 yet, which is good news for those eyeing the more affordable foldable option.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 are shaping up to be serious contenders in the foldable phone market. With thinner bodies, bigger screens, better batteries, and powerful processors, they could set new benchmarks. As always, take these leaks with some caution until Samsung makes it all official.
