Samsung is once again pushing the limits of foldable tech, and this time, it’s all about sleekness and size. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to debut in the coming months, and early leaks are already painting a picture of what might be the slimmest foldable phone in the world. With subtle design tweaks, improved bezels, and a thinner build, the Z Fold 7 is shaping up to be a major upgrade from its predecessor.
Dimensions
Let’s start with the numbers. According to a well-known tipster, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will measure 158.4×143.1×3.9mm when unfolded. That’s taller and wider than the Z Fold 6, which measures 153.5×132.6×5.6mm. It’s also slightly bigger than the Galaxy Z Fold SE (or Samsung W25 in China), which comes in at 157.9×132.6×5.6mm.
But here’s the real kicker—the thickness. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is said to be just 3.9mm when unfolded and 8.9mm when folded. That makes it thinner than the Oppo Find N5, which currently holds the record with 4.21mm unfolded and 8.93mm folded. If accurate, the Z Fold 7 could claim the title of slimmest foldable phone yet.
Comparison Table
| Model | Dimensions (mm) | Folded Thickness | Unfolded Thickness |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy Z Fold 7 | 158.4 × 143.1 × 3.9 | 8.9mm | 3.9mm |
| Galaxy Z Fold 6 | 153.5 × 132.6 × 5.6 | 5.6mm | 5.6mm |
| Galaxy Z Fold SE | 157.9 × 132.6 × 5.6 | 5.6mm | 5.6mm |
| Oppo Find N5 | 154.1 × 132.6 × 4.21 | 8.93mm | 4.21mm |
Display
Samsung isn’t just focusing on the body—the screen is getting some love too. According to leaks, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will feature a nearly bezel-less inner display, with just 1mm of bezel surrounding the screen. That’s a big improvement from the Z Fold 6, which has 1.9mm bezels. This move will not only give it a more premium look but also offer a more immersive viewing experience.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also expected to follow suit with slimmer bezels, reportedly measuring 1.2mm on the cover screen. Clearly, Samsung is trimming down the distractions to give us more screen and less border.
Chipset
Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is tipped to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip—a top-tier processor that promises blazing performance. Meanwhile, the Z Flip 7 is expected to get the Exynos 2500 SoC. Both phones should run smoother, faster, and handle multitasking like champs.
Launch
All signs point to a July launch for both foldables. That gives Samsung enough time to polish up the hardware and drum up the hype. Given the company’s track record, you can bet there’ll be a splashy Unpacked event where all will be revealed.
It looks like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be all about refinement—slimmer form, lighter feel, thinner bezels, and better specs. It may not reinvent the foldable, but it’s certainly going to sharpen every edge. If the leaks hold true, this could easily be one of the most desirable foldables of the year.
