Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs Z Fold 7: Major differences we expect to see
Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip 7 has allegedly been spotted again in synthetic benchmarks. This time, the device was reportedly seen in a Geekbench listing spotted by tipster Abhishek Yadav on X. The listing reveals a Samsung device featuring the Exynos 2500 chip. It scored a single-core score of 2012 and a multi-core score of 7563. The Geekbench listing also reveals CPU details, with one core at 3.3 GHz, two cores at 2.75 GHz, five cores at 2.36 GHz, and two cores at 1.8 GHz, making for a deca-core processor.
The RAM is listed as 10.68 GB, which could mean 12 GB of RAM will be present, along with Android 16.
If this does turn out to be true, it would make for an interesting comparison to the Z Fold 7, which is expected to be the other foldable launched this year by Samsung, and is anticipated to be a traditional-style foldable, instead of a clamshell-style foldable like the Z Flip 7.
If the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 does debut with the Exynos 2500 or 2400, it would be a big difference compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is reportedly expected to ship with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the current Qualcomm flagship. Moreover, it could feature Samsung's tuning and be a custom Snapdragon for Galaxy chipset, similar to what other Galaxy models this year, including the S25 Ultra, are expected to pack. However, based on the benchmark scores, the phone may not be as powerful as the Z Fold 7.
Another set of differences could be the presence of a telephoto camera with the Z Fold 7. Samsung has not included a telephoto camera in its clamshell-style foldables yet, and the renders that have leaked so far do reveal that the Z Flip 7 may continue to ship with a dual-camera setup, one of which could be a wide camera and the other an ultra-wide shooter.
It is also being hinted that the Z Fold 7 could double down on being thin, so that is something Samsung could be aiming for.
Having said that, Samsung could always revert to its previous strategy and launch the device with region-specific hardware, meaning the Exynos 2500 for some regions and the Snapdragon 8 Elite for others, as has also been hinted in reports. Therefore, this is worth keeping in mind.
Both the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are reportedly expected to launch in the month of July at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked. However, there has been no official word from Samsung, so this information should be taken with a pinch of salt. However, what is interesting is that over the past few years, Samsung has indeed launched its new foldables in July or August, so it wouldn't be out of the ordinary to expect the new foldables to hit the market in July or August this year too.

Samsung India executives seek to quash $81 million penalty over tax evasion
Seven Samsung India executives are contesting penalties linked to a $601 million tax demand. They argue against the severity of the alleged offense. The tax authority claims misclassification of mobile tower equipment imports occurred. Ravi Chadha, a logistics executive, calls the penalty process rushed. Other executives, including Sung Beam Hong and Sheetal Jain, have also challenged the order. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Popular in Cons. Products 1. A compelling economic logic is leading India's big data push away from major coastal centres, deep into the inlands Seven Samsung India executives have asked a court to revoke penalties of $81 million included in New Delhi's $601-million tax demand from the company for allegedly misclassifying some imports, arguing "no grave offence" had been committed, according to legal papers and a Indian tax authority in January found Samsung and its executives evaded tariffs by misclassifying imports of key mobile tower equipment from 2018 to 2021. Samsung has separately challenged the order before a tax appeals tribunal , where it has defended its declarations and denied any Samsung's India unit faced a $520 million demand, employees were asked to pay penalties totaling $81 million for "knowingly and intentionally" playing a role in the misclassification of a High Court filing in Mumbai which was not made public but was seen by Reuters, Samsung India logistics executive Ravi Chadha said the authorities issued the penalty within two to three days of receiving hundreds of pages of detailed responses from the company and its executives in January, and the process was "rushed"."This timeframe is utterly insufficient to conduct the requisite in-depth study," read the filing by Chadha, who faces a fine of 950 million rupees ($11.1 million)."The present case is limited to the interpretation of tariff entries, no grave offence has been committed."Samsung India and Chadha did not respond to Reuters queries. India's tax authority did not respond immediately to requests for court records show the six other executives including the network division's vice president, Sung Beam Hong, a general manager for finance, Sheetal Jain, and Samsung's general manager for indirect taxes, Nikhil Aggarwal, have also challenged the tax authority's lawyer for all seven executives, Sriram Sridharan of Indian law firm Lakshmikumaran & Sridharan, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The law firm also represents Samsung in the tax appeals tribunal pleas and grounds for revoking the penalty are identical to Chadha's, said a source with direct knowledge of the ongoing his court filing, Chadha argued that the "egregiously exorbitant" penalty is impossible for any salaried employee to bear, and it would take him more than 100 years to settle the amount given his earnings.

Samsung's triple-fold phone could drop by September, but it won't come cheap
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Samsung Galaxy Triple Fold: Launch Timeline Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Samsung Galaxy Tri-Fold: Expected Price The countdown to Samsung's yearly foldables reveal has officially begun — and this time, all signs point to something big. A triple-fold device is no longer just a concept; it's looking more and more like a sure thing. After unveiling flagship models like the Galaxy S25 Ultra and S25 Edge earlier this year, Samsung seems ready to level up again. If the latest buzz holds true, the dual-hinge foldable could launch by September — and it won't come cheap, with price estimates floating around the Rs.3 lakh Yogesh Brar claims Samsung's much-anticipated tri-fold foldable is finally on the cards — and could drop as early as Q3 2025. That puts its launch before September wraps, challenging earlier chatter that suggested the larger foldable would arrive only after the Galaxy Z series had its spotlight also backed earlier reports hinting at a limited release for the triple-fold, with Samsung likely kicking things off in South Korea and China. Considering the complexity of the form factor and production hurdles, a cautious rollout feels expected. That said, we've seen this playbook before — similar whispers surrounded the Galaxy S25 Edge, which still ended up launching globally on day one, India tri-fold is set to be a major leap from its current foldable lineup — think Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the soon-to-drop Z Fold 7 — both of which stick to a single hinge. This next-gen model is expected to introduce a dual-hinge setup, unfolding in a zig-zag (Z-like) motion to reveal a much larger screen. It's a design that echoes Huawei's Mate X Ultimate, known for its multi-hinge, tablet-style earlier patents have teased even wilder possibilities — think two or even three hinges connecting up to four screens. While today's foldables basically double your screen real estate, this tri-fold could take things up a notch, unfolding into something that's essentially a full-blown tablet. A serious evolution in both form and doesn't come cheap — and neither will Samsung's tri-fold. With an expected price tag between $3,000 (₹2.56 lakh) and $3,500 (₹2.99 lakh), this foldable is clearly aimed at a niche crowd of early adopters and tech purists. Production is likely to be limited at launch, and it's still unclear if Samsung plans to scale up based on demand. At that price, it'll sit well above current foldables and even top-tier flagships like the Galaxy S25 Ultra or iPhone Pro Max.
