Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 just tipped to feature taller and wider screen
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 could feature a slightly bigger screen compared to the Z Flip 6.
Regular tipster, Max Jambor, posted a somewhat cryptic tweet with what appears to be the screen dimensions for the forthcoming clamshell phone. The tweet simply reads: B7 Display: 161.57 x 69.96 mm. That's about 6.36 inches x 2.63 inches.
This a reference to the main screen when the clamshell is open. Jambor did not provide any dimensions for the cover display.
As the publication Sammy Guru notes, the B7 is reportedly an internal Samsung code for the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Sammy Guru claims the cover screen will be bigger covering the entire backside of the phone's upper half.
In comparison, the Z Flip 6 is 165.1 x 71.9 x 6.9mm when opened, so the leak suggests this year's iteration will be slightly taller and wider at 166.6 x 75.2 x 6.9mm.
Sammy Guru also calculated the phone's aspect ratio based on the dimensions for a slightly wider one at 22:9.53, compared to 22:9 of the Flip 6.
It all hints at a slightly taller and wider phone with probably thinner bezels.

In a smaller leak, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will feature a 4,300 mAh battery, which is bigger than the one in its predecssor. Meanwhile the bookstyle Galaxy Z Fold 7 will allegedly feature a 4,272 mAh battery in total, comprised of two secondary Li-ion batteries.
In another tweet, Jambor also says the Galaxy Z lineup has entered mass production. This means that Samsung should be ready for its usual Galaxy Unpacked summer event which will likely take place in early July.

Exclusive: Samsung exec shuts down the Galaxy S25 Edge haters, talks triple foldable
The Galaxy S25 Edge is the thinnest Samsung S series phone ever at just 5.8mm. But a lot of people are focusing on the trade-offs that need to be made to get something so slim. Yes, the Galaxy S25 Edge has a smaller battery than the regular S25. There's no telephoto zoom. And it costs $1,099. But for Blake Gaiser, who is the director of smartphone product management at Samsung Electronics America, focusing on the specs over the user experience is besides the point of this device. In fact, Gaiser describes the Galaxy S25 Edge as the 'Goldilocks' of smartphones, giving you the same performance and camera quality of the best phones in something you can easily slip into a pocket and almost forget that it's there. 'And so when I hear those naysayers, I'm like, okay, get your hands on the device, and then let's see what your opinion is,' says Gaiser. I had a chance to sit down with Blake on launch day for the Galaxy S25 Edge to talk about how Samsung got the device so thin and to weigh in on those trade-offs. Plus, we discuss what's coming with Samsung's foldables — including a possible triple foldable design. Blake Gaiser: There is actually a pretty good segment out there that's right in between an Ultra owner or a Plus owner. They like the big screen, but they're not an S-pen user. They want a flagship camera, but they don't want the weight and heft that you get with the ultra. So there are quite a lot of people out there who just want a light, tech-forward, fashionable device that has all the performance that you would expect from a high-end flagship phone. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Gaiser: We do consider it to be a flagship. It is a new innovation piece that we're bringing forth where we're taking out so much weight, so much thickness of this device, while not compromising on the things that are really important to our customers, such as durability, the performance of the chipset, having that flagship 200MP camera. And so we do believe that this is that kind of Goldilocks for so many of our customers that is going to give them everything they want and not give them the things that they're not looking for. Gaiser: What's so amazing about this device is that I just kind of gave up on PowerPoint. I gave up on saying, here's the tech specs, here's why it's so cool. Before any of that, just hold it. Not only is it so thin, it has the full Plus screen to it. It almost doesn't feel real. When I hear those naysayers, I'm like, okay, get your hands on the device, and then let's see what your opinion is And so it's like, once people get it in their hand, that hand feel is not just about thickness, it's not just about weight, it's about weight distribution, it's about how you can reach across the screen. And so when I hear those naysayers, I'm like, okay, get your hands on the device, and then let's see what your opinion is. We really designed this from the ground up to be thin. The goal was to be thin without compromise. We really didn't want to take things away from a device to make it thin. We could have done that years ago. Everything about this device was focusing on that slimness. So making sure structurally it was going to be extremely durable. We're utilizing a titanium frame, we're utilizing Corning's Ceramic 2 glass. We're even putting in a vapor chamber cooling system that's larger than the Plus model. So that way, we're able to utilize every single component as efficiently and effectively as possible and making sure that how we put it together gives you a really good balance in the hand. So it wasn't top heavy or bottom heavy, but yeah, every single detail was meticulously planned out to make this device. Gaiser: We are just so far ahead in our camera tech that people don't really understand the quality of their photos that they're getting. Not only is it things like optical zooms, but it's also the agentic AI that we have built in, from the chipset up, utilizing cognitive-aware engines so that your camera understands what you're taking photos of and is able to utilize AI to give you that perfect shot. But when we're looking at the usage of our cameras with our customers, we know a couple of things. We know that the most popular zooms that our customers use are the 0.6X to get those really wide macro views, the 1X, 2X and 3X. Is it nice to have the 100X Space Zoom at times? Absolutely. Sure. But is it something that you're going to use every day or even every month? When you're doing side-by-side comparisons, I think customers are really going to see that you're getting fantastic quality that meets or beats our competition. Gaiser: I think enough battery life for most customers is just an all-day usage. You don't want to find yourself at lunch with an empty battery. And what we've seen with this device is that it has worked as well or better than the S24 base model and very close to the S25 base model. And so as long as you can live with it from sun up to sun down without having any issues, we think that's a great experience. And personally, I haven't had much of an issue with the battery life whatsoever. Samsung's always looking at every new emerging technology that's out there. So it's something that we're definitely not keeping our eyes off of. But with that new chipset, with agentic AI helping with performance and efficiencies of these batteries, we really felt that going with our traditional lithium-ion battery was the right move for this device. The S25 Edge has everything that the S25 family has. And probably the most exciting one that people are utilizing the most is Audio Eraser, where you can just take noise and pull it out of the video. So whether it be construction noise or nature noise or general audience noise or music, you can customize the EQ that to give you the video that you want. And it's something that you can play with real time that we've seen a lot of people extremely happy with that one. Gaiser: One of the things that we look at from a product standpoint is, how can we take clicks away from our customer? What we see is, after three or four clicks that you have to do, you kind of get overwhelmed or bored, or it's not worth it for you. So utilizing AI and multimodality to be able to do multiple things with just one voice prompt has been a real game changer. And we're just scratching the surface. So imagine you want to find a restaurant. You're not exactly sure what kind of restaurant. You want to invite some friends. You want to be reminded and then get directions there. That's like 20 clicks for you to go out, search Google, find the restaurant, go into your text messages, text your friends, put it on your calendar, then go into Google Maps. Gasier: You know, we have six generations out right now. Six years of learning how to make these very complicated, hard devices work beautifully. We're very proud of the state of our foldables. But we also recognize that awareness of foldables isn't near what it is for a traditional smartphone. A lot of people, even to our surprise, don't even know that they exist yet. I feel like a lot of your tech savvy listeners are going to say, how does nobody know about these devices? But it's very, very true. And One UI 8 and foldables, I think that [what] we're really excited about foldables is that with that different form factor of those devices, it allows us to do more with AI. Because it is a device that can do literally a lot more than a traditional smartphone can do. Gaiser: I would love to tell you all that I know about these kind of things. But what I can say is that we're looking at every single possibility of what a phone's going to look like a year from now, five years from now, 10 years from now. And what are the features and benefits of those different form factors? What we do know is that phones are going to evolve. We are uniquely positioned with our displays, with our engineering, with all the different things that Samsung does to really push the envelope on new form factors. And I would expect, without knowing much of the future, that Samsung would be first to innovate within those spaces.

Samsung Galaxy Fold Ultra is officially coming this summer — what we know so far
It's pretty clear Samsung already planned to bring the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 to stores this summer, likely at a launch event rumored for July. But it sounds like they'll be joined by at least one more foldable device, as Samsung looks to expand its lineup. Late yesterday (June 3), Samsung announced that it's developing an Ultra version of the Galaxy Z Fold. The teaser announcement was short on specs but long on declarations about the central role artificial intelligence would play for the Galaxy Fold Ultra. "With industry-leading hardware, cutting-edge performance and seamless AI integration optimized for the foldable format, it's what users have come to expect from Galaxy Ultra," Samsung's statement read. "And when it unfolds, it transforms– into a more immersive entertainment hub, a spacious workspace, or a multitasking powerhouse, now enhanced by powerful Galaxy AI features designed specifically for the foldable form." Samsung's Galaxy AI features debuted last January and are supported by the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 foldables released last year. Samsung even launched new AI-powered features alongside those two devices, highlighted by Sketch to Image, which uses generative AI to turn sketches in the Samsung Notes app into full-bodies illustrations. But that feature arrive on other Samsung flagship phones via a software update. From the sound of Samsung's Galaxy Fold Ultra announcement, the AI features on show here may be developed specifically to take advantage of the foldable format. As for what format this Ultra model would take, an include animation features a phone opening up like a book — the same design offered by the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and likely to be a part of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. It's unclear if the Ultra would offer a larger screen than the current Z Fold and its 7.6-inch interior display or if Samsung will keep the dimensions the same and focus on the AI features. Of course, there's always the possibility that the Galaxy Fold Ultra isn't a complement to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 — it could be the Galaxy Z Fold 7, or at least the version of Samsung's book foldable that's coming out this year. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Besides AI features, Samsung's teaser announcement touts a "powerful camera," raising the possibility that the main camera could match the 200MP shooter on the Galaxy S25 Ultra and recently brought to the Galaxy S25 Edge. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 features a 50MP main lens. In addition to the specs that will make up the Galaxy Fold Ultra, we're interested to hear about the phone's price. At $1,899, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is one of the more expensive mobile devices you can buy, and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rumored to be keeping that price. Would an Ultra model cost even more? Rumors have been swirling that Samsung planned to add more foldables to its lineup, with talk of a Galaxy G Fold that feature a tri-fold display. There are reports that the G Fold would launch this year, though the animation accompanying Samsung's announcement would imply we're talking about different models here. Likewise, there's been rumors of Samsung putting out an FE addition of the Galaxy Z Flip, for a lower-cost version of its foldable flip phone to better compete with the standard Motorola Razr's $699 price, but that's another form factor entirely. Samsung doesn't specify whether we can expect a Galaxy Fold Ultra to appear this year, but the implication seems to be that it will be part of the next Galaxy Unpacked event this summer. "The Ultra experience is ready to unfold," Samsung says at the end of its announcement.

Samsung Teases Ultra-Grade Foldable Phone With a 'Powerful Camera,' AI Tools
Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Fold seems to be joining forces with the top-of-the-line Galaxy Ultra. The company on Wednesday shared a rather cryptic post teasing its next book-stye foldable, noting that it's bringing "an Ultra-experience" to "a smaller and more portable form factor." The phone is scheduled to launch this summer, Samsung says, and will include a "powerful camera" and "AI-powered tools" (of course). Samsung didn't share much more than that, and hasn't noted anything else about what's in store for the successors to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. But the post does confirm that we can expect foldables in the summer. This teaser raises many questions. Namely, just how powerful will the camera be on this new phone? Will it, like the skinny S25 Edge, match the 200-megapixel main camera on the S25 Ultra? And will the new foldable's cover display also match the size of the S25 Ultra? Samsung appears to be on a "pushing the limits of engineering" kick, what with the recent launch of the super-slim Galaxy S25 Edge, and now this mystery Ultra foldable. We'll see what other details unfold with time.
