Samsung has recently announced its upcoming flagship foldable device -- the Galaxy Z Fold 7, hinting that the launch is coming to India soon. While the launch dates are still under wraps, the company has shared that the phone is designed to bring a bigger display and a better camera. That said, the first teaser claims that the upcoming fold will offer an "Ultra experience". However, based on the rumours, this teaser could mean that there will be an Ultra variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. But nothing can be certain for now. advertisementBut, what is certain? The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is confirmed to launch with a triple-camera setup. Although the release stops short of naming the device, it places a strong emphasis on camera innovation and points to foldables as the next major leap in AI-driven mobile photography. Coupled with the teaser video showcasing a book-style foldable design, it strongly suggests that Samsung is gearing up to unveil significant camera advancements with the upcoming Z Fold 7.According to Samsung, the focus has shifted from simply providing superior lenses or sensors to creating a comprehensive imaging experience — one that seamlessly integrates hardware, software, and artificial intelligence into a unified system.Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: What to expect
On the hardware front, Samsung has revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will retain a triple-camera arrangement on the rear, similar to the Fold 6. However, significant enhancements are expected, particularly with the introduction of a new 200-megapixel main sensor, which may be the same high-end camera featured in the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25 Edge. The remaining two lenses are likely to be carried over from the previous generation, albeit with refinements aimed at optimising AI functionality and boosting overall performance.advertisementIn addition, Samsung has hinted that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be its slimmest and most robust foldable handset to date, though precise dimensions and durability ratings have not yet been disclosed. Rumours suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may feature a larger 8-inch foldable internal display, accompanied by a 6.5-inch cover screen. If accurate, this would mark the second consecutive year that Samsung has expanded the size of its flagship foldable.Perhaps the most significant display improvement could involve the main screen's crease becoming far less noticeable. While some reports have even speculated that Samsung might eliminate the crease entirely, it remains wise to manage expectations for now. Meanwhile, separate leaks indicate that the display is likely to benefit from improved durability this year.As for the battery, Samsung appears set to maintain the same specifications seen in previous models. This would translate to a 4,400mAh battery capacity, supporting up to 25W wired charging and 15W wireless charging. However, with the inclusion of a new chipset, there is hope that battery efficiency will improve, potentially extending usage time despite the unchanged capacity. That said, with many competing foldables now boasting larger batteries, more substantial upgrades would certainly be welcomed.advertisementFreshly leaked images have also shown UL Demko certifications — issued by Denmark's national electronics authority — following earlier certification from India's Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). According to reports, while the minimum charge capacity may be slightly lower this time, the typical capacity should still remain at 4,400mAh.In terms of storage, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to start at 256GB, with 512GB and 1TB variants also available for an additional cost. RAM is likely to remain at 12GB, consistent with the Galaxy Z Fold 6, though many would welcome an increase to 16GB or more to enhance multitasking capabilities and handle the growing demands for AI-powered features.Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Price, launch date (expected)Samsung is expected to officially reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 during its Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for mid-July. According to leaked pricing details, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may carry a starting price of roughly Rs 1,64,999, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is anticipated to launch at around Rs 1,09,999.
