The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 are just two days away from going official, but that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from churning out key details about the upcoming devices. In the latest development, two hands-on videos from different sources have surfaced, showing both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 in action, and they reveal quite a bit about these upcoming phones. This year, Samsung is said to be focusing on the design, in-hand feel, and ergonomics of its foldable smartphones, with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 tipped to be around 3.9mm to 4.5mm thick when unfolded, making it one of the slimmest devices in its category.advertisementAccording to a video shared by Ice Universe via X (formerly Twitter), the Galaxy Z Fold 7 can be seen in action. While the cover screen of the phone is not shown in the video, we do get a look at the inner display and how the user is easily able to hold the phone with one hand and open/close apps. The animations look quite smooth, giving us an idea of what to expect from One UI 8 in terms of fluidity. One thing to note, though, is that while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rumoured to feature a hole-punch selfie camera on the inner display, as per the hands-on video, the phone appears to have an under-display camera like the Fold 6. So, is this leaked video really of the Fold 7, as the tipster is claiming? Or is the Fold 7 sticking with an under-display selfie camera on the inner screen, just like its predecessor? We'll find out in just a couple of days.Apart from this, a tipster who goes by the name Mincu Andrei on X, posted a hands-on video (now deleted) of the Galaxy Z Flip 7. It was rumoured that the Flip 7 is set to feature a 4-inch cover screen that fully wraps around the camera lens — and going by the leaked video, it seems that's exactly what we're about to get. From the looks of it, the outer display appears crisp, has slim bezels, and the extra space near the camera lenses seems to be used to display the time and date on the phone.
Of course, we are going to learn everything about the upcoming foldables — Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 — during the Galaxy Unpacked event, set to take place in New York, USA, on July 9. Alongside the two foldables, Samsung is also expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE — the company's first-ever Fan Edition foldable smartphone — along with the Galaxy Watch 8 series. The brand is also expected to tease its first-ever tri-fold phone at the event, which is rumoured to be called the Galaxy G Fold.- Ends
