Hands-on video could reveal that Samsung has made a surprise decision about the Fold 7 camera
The previous rumors about the Galaxy Z Fold 7 losing the UDC were wrong.
losing the UDC were wrong. The punch hole camera on the internal screen just can't be seen in the video.
The device in the video is the Galaxy Z Fold 6 , not the Galaxy Z Fold 7 . Another possibility is that the point of the tweet and the embedded video was lost on everyone. The tweet says, "Goodbye Fold6, hello Fold7." This could have been the well-known leaker's way of saying goodbye to his Galaxy Z Fold 6 . However, if this is the case, why show a video that tests how smoothly the device runs and how quickly apps open? We might not know the answer until Wednesday, when Samsung introduces the latest iteration of its book-style foldable.

As noted, the video inside the tweet shows how responsive the device starring in the video is. If it is the Galaxy Fold 7 , we expect it to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 application processor (AP), the same chip used to power all Galaxy S25 series handsets. The internal Dynamic AMOLED display is rumored to weigh in at 8.2 inches with a 2160 x 1856 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
The 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED cover screen features a 2376 x968 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is said to be equipped with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. The rear-camera array is believed to include a 200 MP primary camera, a 12 MP Telephoto camera, and a 10 MP Telephoto camera. The battery will reportedly have a 4400 mAh capacity.
Is the phone in the video a Fold 7 or a Fold 6? We should know all in two days.

Weekly poll results: the Nothing Phone (3) is a major misstep for the company
Peter, 13 July 2025 Some people hate the looks, others hate the price – there was very little love shown for the Nothing Phone (3) in last week's poll. The design is certainly divisive and is a major misstep from a company that is so laser-focused on innovative design. Nothing also got overly ambitious with the pricing – the Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 and non-LTPO display on an $800/£800/€800/₹80,000 phone attracted a lot of criticism in the comments. And those aren't the only non-flagship features either. Plus, the small 5,150mAh battery feels like a waste of Si/C tech. It's not so bad in the US market where there are relatively few competing brands, but in Europe and especially in Asia, the Phone (3) is going to be a tough sell with these specs at this price. The price will fall, eventually, but the same goes for alternative models. While Nothing is a fairly new brand, Carl Pei is a veteran of the industry and was at OnePlus as the company navigated the change from cheap 'flagship killer' to more expensive (but still competitively priced) flagships. But now he and his team need to go back to the drawing board. Nothing Phone (3) 5G 256GB 12GB RAM $ 799.00 $ 799.00 512GB 16GB RAM £ 799.00

Galaxy Z Fold7/Flip7, Watch8 series, OnePlus Nord 5/CE5 official, Week 28 in review
Samsung made the biggest splash this week with the unveiling of its new foldables and watches. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest and lightest in the series, has the 200MP main camera of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and finally brings a 21:9 cover display. The Galaxy Z Flip7 also brings a bigger cover screen at 4.1 inches. Both are now up for pre-order. The Galaxy Watch8 and Watch8 Classic both ditch the round design for a squircle one. Both pack the same Exynos W1000 3nm SoC as the previous generation. The Galaxy Watch8 Classic has a smaller display than the Watch6 Classic, but adds the Galaxy Watch Ultra's Action button. Fold7 is bigger, lighter and now comes with a flagship main camera. Both watches use the "cushion" design that we saw on the Watch Ultra. Speaking of, there is no new Watch Ultra, only a new color for the original model. It will be among the few upgrades compared to its predecessor. Three new Galaxy foldables - possibly four if the tri-fold rumors are true - plus three new Galaxy watches are coming this Wednesday. Onelus announced the Nord 5 and Nord CE5 this week. The Nord 5 has a massive 6,800mAh battery and a big 6.83-inch 144Hz AMOLED panel. It runs on a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 with up to 12GB of RAM. The Nord CE5 has a 6.77-inch 120Hz AMOLED display, a Dimensity 8350 chipset, and an even bigger 7,100mAh battery. Both phones are now on sale The Moto G96 also debuted with a 6.67-inch 144Hz OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, and a 5,500mAh battery. It's going on sale in India on July 16. Nord CE5 brings the biggest battery ever fitted on a OnePlus phone. Open sales in India are set to kick off on July 16. Both feature six-core CPUs. In the meantime, we unboxed the Tecno Spark 40 Pro+ and Nothing Phone (3) - check those out below! Thin-and-lights are coming from everywhere. Nothing struck a nice balance between different and functional. It looks just like its predecessor.

This was supposed to be the best foldable of 2025, so why doesn't it exist?
I've been a fan of this phone brand ever since its inception, which coincided with the start of my employment here at PhoneArena. Ever since then, through the ups and downs, great releases, and disappointing launches, I've always enjoyed using devices made by this specific brand. It probably hasn't grown to be the household name its founders intended, but it is definitely one of the more recognizable Android makers around that still provide steady competition to Samsung, Google, and Apple. And it simply refuses to make the phone that would easily sweep the competition in the US. The brand is OnePlus, and the dream phone in question is none other than the OnePlus Open 2, which doesn't exist, but I'd have been on cloud nine if it did. At the time of its launch, the first OnePlus Open was one of the better foldable phones available in the US, a very decent and appealing alternative to the Galaxy Z Fold and the Pixel Fold. Looking back at it in hindsight from mid-2025, it is a bit rough around the edges and had a lot of potential for steady improvements but was still among the best phones you could get in late 2023, either foldables or not. The blessing and the curse of the OnePlus Open is that it wasn't a terribly original phone, so to speak. The phone used the design blueprint of parent company Oppo's Find N3 foldable and combined superb hardware with OnePlus' pretty decent OxygenOS, which is still among the cleaner custom Android skins around. The OnePlus Open had a decent camera, a small display crease, and lots of other redeeming qualities, with the only "downside" being its fairly high price (which was still more affordable than the Galaxy or the first Pixel Fold ). Overall, a successful translation of an excellent Oppo phone to a superb OnePlus flagship, which at the time felt like a formula that would be easily perfected in the future. I mean, the only thing OnePlus had to do was get Oppo's next foldable, rebadge it, throw in its own interface, and call it a day. However, the hopes of getting a successor to the OnePlus Open , likely styled after the exceptional Oppo Find N5, were sadly crushed with the announcement that OnePlus won't be releasing a foldable phone in 2025. Ah, what woe! With the risk of sounding melodramatic, I still remember the day when I read that news, and ever since, I've had the blues when I think of OnePlus, as the OnePlus Open 2 was probably my most anticipated device of the year, the one that could have easily stolen the spotlight in 2025. It would have been an outstanding phone: below 9 mm in thickness when folded, with super-bright OLED displays, the Snapdragon 8 Elite, a large 6,000 mAh silicon-carbon battery, and a great camera, as well as all the other exceptional bits and pieces that make the Oppo Find N5 such an impressive device of its own. The OnePlus Open 2 would have been the perfect foldable phone (Image by PhoneArena) Well, sure, in all but name the Oppo Find N5 is essentially what the OnePlus Open 2 should have been. However, while it went global, the phone isn't available in some key markets like the USA, and it might not support all the bands of your carrier, so even if you go out of your way to import the device, there's always the risk that it won't work properly, as a OnePlus phone would. This makes it a curiosity that only phone reviewers, YouTubers, and die-hard foldable or Oppo fans would want to use, less so the average person who's browsing the phone section at Walmart, T-Mobile, or Best Buy. There are also some small but important differences in the interface. Despite the most significant difference between OxygenOS and ColorOS being the name itself, the interface that OnePlus uses has an extra sprinkle of attention to detail. Color OS, while mostly similar, just feels off. Another phone that could have helped OnePlus stay in the conversation more is a hypothetical OnePlus 13 Ultra, and that's yet another device that doesn't exist. The OnePlus 13 is mostly a slightly downgraded version of the Oppo Find X8 Pro, lacking the nice periscope camera and the quick camera button, for example. Well, the China-only Oppo Find X8 Ultra, which I really wanted to use as a daily driver, would have served as a very impressive foundation for a hypothetical OnePlus 13 Ultra, a phone that could have easily intermingled with all the top flagships in the US and potentially come out on top. Sadly, like the OnePlus Open 2 , it seems OnePlus is slowly getting pushed out of the premium segment. Not from an outside factor or a rival, but from within, from Oppo's market strategies themselves. Due to the geopolitical situation, it seems that Oppo is wary of spending too many resources on the US market, and while the global versions of all its phones and OnePlus itself are still mostly good to go in the US, this year's toning down of the flagship and high-end effort is likely a sign of the things to come.
