Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 launch in July: Specs, features, and everything we know so far
In less than 2 months, Samsung is expected to launch its new generation foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, globally. While we wait for the official announcement, several leaks surrounding the foldables have been circulating on the internet, revealing the smartphone's design, specifications, and features. Reports suggest that Samsung has made some significant design upgrades. While the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rumoured to feature a slimmer design, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will feature a bigger cover display. Now, since the launch is not very far, let's have a look at what the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has in store for users.
Design and display: This year, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will likely take the crown for the slimmest foldable with just 3.9mm thickness when unfolded. From a design standpoint, the smartphone may look similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Special Edition, which was launched in South Korea and China.
The foldable may also feature a refined hinge, which will reduce the crease visibility on the main screen. For display, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could feature a 6.5-inch AMOLED cover display and an 8.0-inch AMOLED main foldable display. Both displays may offer a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth performance.
Performance and battery: The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor paired with 12GB RAM and up to 1TB internal storage. Recent reports suggest that the foldable could run on One UI 8 based on Android 16 out of the box. For lasting performance, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will likely be backed by a similar 4400 mAh battery that may support 25W fast wired charging.
Camera: The Galaxy Z Fold 7 will likely come with a triple camera setup, which may include a 200MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The smartphone may come with a dual front camera, one placed on the cover screen with 10MP resolution and one on the main screen with 4MP resolution.
Launch date and price: The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will likely be unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event in July 2025. In terms of pricing, we expect the Galaxy Z Fold 7 to be priced similarly to its predecessor, as no price hike has been reported so far.

Samsung Eyes Perplexity AI Partnership to Redefine Smartphone AI Strategy
Samsung appears to be preparing a major revamp of its AI strategy because ongoing discussions focus on integrating Samsung Perplexity AI into its smartphone ecosystem. Samsung holds advanced negotiations with the American startup Perplexity AI to preload its assistant on forthcoming devices and to make substantial investments in the company according to Bloomberg. Samsung could implement Perplexity's AI tools across various platforms such as Samsung AI browser and Bixby assistant and potentially its operating system should the agreement succeed. Samsung plans to implement the changes initially this year followed by a full implementation during the Galaxy S26 series release in 2026. The report shows that these plans remain unstable and may undergo changes before an official announcement occurs. The partnership will mark a fundamental change in Samsung's AI strategy. The company has predominantly utilized Google's Gemini to drive the AI capabilities in its Galaxy AI suite. A partnership with Perplexity would enable Samsung to expand its AI options while lessening its Gemini replacement. This deal represents Perplexity's biggest mobile partnership to date. The startup currently works alongside Motorola to integrate its AI assistant into both the Razr 60 and Razr 60 Ultra devices. Samsung started discussions with Perplexity AI on Samsung earlier this year and recent meetings in South Korea brought them closer to completing their deal. Samsung will likely emerge as one of the top investors in Perplexity's next funding round as well as pursue software Samsung AI integration opportunities. Samsung NEXT, the investment arm of Samsung, provided funding to the startup in 2024. Apple recently displayed their interest in exploring Perplexity's technological capabilities. Apple services head Eddy Cue explained during the antitrust trial against Google that his company initiated talks to explore Perplexity search tools for Siri as an alternative to Google or ChatGPT because they were impressed by Perplexity's capabilities. The potential impact of a Samsung-Perplexity partnership on the current discussions between Apple and Perplexity is yet unknown.

Samsung's big bet: Perplexity AI could soon be everywhere on its devices
Samsung Electronics is close to finalising a significant partnership with Perplexity AI Inc, an artificial intelligence (AI) search technology startup, Bloomberg reported. The South Korean tech giant is negotiating to preload Perplexity's app and assistant onto its upcoming devices. Additionally, Samsung aims to integrate Perplexity's search features into its web browser. Talks have also covered incorporating the startup's technology into Samsung's Bixby virtual assistant, the report said. Samsung plans to unveil the Perplexity integrations as early as this year, with the goal of making it a default assistant option on the Galaxy S26, expected to launch in the first half of 2026. However, the specifics of the deal are still being finalised and may change, the sources noted. So far, the company has relied significantly on Google's Gemini to support a range of AI capabilities within its Galaxy AI suite. Significant investment in Perplexity In addition to the technology partnership, Samsung is expected to participate in Perplexity's upcoming funding round, potentially as one of its largest investors. Perplexity is currently in advanced discussions to raise $500 million at a valuation of $14 billion, the news report said. The collaboration could help Samsung lessen its reliance on Alphabet Inc's Google and position it to work with a broader range of AI developers — a strategy similar to Apple Inc.'s approach to its ecosystem. For Perplexity, this would represent its most substantial mobile partnership to date, following a recent deal with Motorola. The two companies began exploring a partnership earlier this year. In recent weeks, representatives from both sides met in South Korea and made significant progress toward finalising the agreement, the report said. In addition to embedding Perplexity's technology into Samsung's devices and Bixby, the companies have also discussed developing an AI-infused operating system and an app that can connect Perplexity's capabilities with other AI assistants. Apple's interest in Perplexity Meanwhile, Apple has also shown interest in collaborating with Perplexity. According to Bloomberg News, Apple has considered using Perplexity as an alternative to Google Search and as a replacement for ChatGPT within the Siri voice assistant. 'We've been pretty impressed with what Perplexity has done, so we've started some discussions with them about what they're doing,' Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice-president of services, said during recent testimony at a Google antitrust trial.
