Hands-on videos confirm the truth about Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 leaks
The Galaxy Z Flip 7's leak is more detailed and shows the inner foldable screen with no visible crease.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in the hands-on video doesn't power on and might as well be a dummy unit.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 are set to be unveiled later this week. As the launch draws closer, we've seen a slew of leaks that have given us sweeping looks at both the foldables. Following last week's leak of Galaxy Z Fold 7 hands-on images, more hands-on images of both devices have been spotted circulating online.
Over the weekend, an X user @andrei_eclynoh shared a hands-on image of the Galaxy Z Flip 7. They also shared — but later removed — a hands-on video, which another user later reuploaded. Both the picture and the video demonstrate a working model, so it probably captures a review or a retail unit.
The most compelling aspect to notice in the media is the new inner display, devoid of any visible crease. The foldable display appears seamless at multiple angles, inspiring us to assume Samsung may have finally caught up to its competitors in eliminating the crease entirely. The image also emphasizes the outer display, which now appears much larger than on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and leaves smaller bezels on the cover. The display now also envelops the dual cameras, similar to the Motorola Razr 2025 family, ditching the previous folder-notch shape.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 unit shown in the video also features the same boxy design that Samsung introduced with the Flip 5. Earlier rumors pointed towards Flip 7 being slimmer than the previous generation, though the change is not expected to be as drastic as expected of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Interestingly, the video shows the Flip 7 can also run up to four cover screen widgets on the same page.
The second leak showcases the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which appears in a video by accessories maker WSKEN, which has already listed a compatible screen protector on Amazon (via 9to5Google). It's not easy to differentiate between the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the upcoming Fold 7 based solely on the device's slimness, so one can easily assume the video shows a Fold 6. However, the unit's narrower fingerprint scanner aligns with the Fold 7's leaks and can be trusted to be a tell-tale differentiator.

However, unlike the Flip 7's hands-on video, this one shows the phone switched off, which suggests it may not be a working model but rather a dummy unit.
We're just days away from the official launch, at which point we can expect to confirm the validity of these leaks. Last week, we exclusively reported that Samsung is also working on a tri-fold device, and we expect it to be showcased at the event in a fashion similar to how the Galaxy S25 Edge was teased at the S25 series launch earlier this year.

Fortnite maker Epic Games settles antitrust case against Samsung
Fortnite maker Epic Games has settled its antitrust case against Samsung, according to a court filing. The case, filed last September, accused Samsung of working with Google to block rival app stores by default on Samsung phones. 'We're dismissing our court case against Samsung following the parties' discussions,' Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said in a post on X. He added, 'We are grateful that Samsung will address Epic's concerns.' An Epic spokesperson declined further comment, pointing to Sweeney's post. Samsung and Google did not respond to TechCrunch's request for comment. Epic had alleged in the lawsuit that Samsung's 'Auto Blocker' feature, which blocked downloads outside of the Google Play Store and Samsung Galaxy Store, was a coordinated effort to block competition in app distribution. At the time, Google called Epic's legal action 'meritless,' saying, 'Android device makers are free to take their own steps to keep their users safe and secure.' Samsung said it planned to 'vigorously contest Epic Game's baseless claims.' The settlement comes almost a year after Epic launched its own mobile app store to distribute both its own games and third-party titles. Before suing Samsung, Epic won a separate antitrust case against Google in 2023 over claims that Google's app store practices constituted an illegal monopoly. A judge ordered Google to open its app store to rivals, though a decision on Google's appeal is still pending.

Massive Samsung leak just revealed nearly all the specs for Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE right before Unpacked
Samsung is all but certain to announce its next set of foldable phones at the Galaxy Unpacked July 2022 event in less than two days. But even with the July 9 launch event looming, leaks about the new devices aren't stopping. In fact, a new rumor appears to reveal a number of core specs for the trio of Samsung foldables expected to arrive later this week — the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7 and a lower-cost flip phone reportedly called the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Here are some specs, plus others we've seen rumored previously. Galaxy Z Fold 7 Galaxy Z Flip 7 Galaxy Flip 7 FE Storage 256GB, 512GB 256GB, 512GB 128GB, 256GB Battery 4,400 mAh 4,300 mAh 4,000 mAh Screen size Cover: 6.5 inchesUnfolded: 8-inches Cover: 4.1-inchesUnfolded: 6.9-inches Cover: 4.1-inchesUnfolded: 6.9-inches Refrresh rate/Brightness 120Hz, 2,600-nit peak N/A N/A Camera (main) 200 MP 50 MP 50 MP Camera (ultra, selfie) 12 MP, 10MP, 10MP x3 telephoto 12 MP, 12MP N/A Color Blue shadow, Jet black, Silver shadow Blue shadow, Jet black, silver shadow Black, white Galaxy AI Yes Yes Yes Chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite or Exynos 2500 Exynos 2400e or unnamed Qualcomm or MediaTek RAM 16GB 12GB 8GB Thickness 4.5mm unfolded8.9mm folded N/A 7.4mm The leak comes from WinFuture's Roland Quandt and appears to reveal storage, displays, batteries and other specs for the three phones. Quandt claims all the information comes from "official Samsung promo materials." All of this in the last couple of posts is from official Samsung promo materials Quandt's leaks don't provide pricing or full dimensions, but we expect the Galaxy Fold 7 to be thinner and lighter than its predecessor. The leak does quote a couple of marketing quotes saying the phone will be 8.9mm thin folded and "4.2mm when unfolded" while weighing 216 grams (7.6 oz). The current version, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, is 5.6mm thin when it's unfolded. It weighs 239 grams. So that's quite a substantial change for the new model. For furterher comparison, those measurements are the same as the Oppo Find N5, and 0.1mm thicker than the Honor Magic V5. The rumored 216 gram weight would make the Galaxy Z Fold 7 one of the lighter foldables available. The N5, for example, comes in at 229 grams. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Beyond weight, the Z Fold 7 will supposed;ly feature bigger displays — namely, a 6.5-inch cover screen and an 8-inch main panel. It's supposed to deliver a similar 4,400 mAh battery as the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Other marketing quotes say the new Samsung foldable will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. It should come with 256GB or 512GB storage options. Only one camera is listed with a resolution of 200MP — presumably this is the main camera, which is rumored to be getting the same sensor Samsung uses for the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Finally, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 should come in blue, black or silver, according to Quandt. Like the Z Fold 7, the clamshell Galaxy Z Flip 7 is in line to increase in size with a larger 4.1-inch cover display and 6.9-inch interior screen. (Previous rumors had claimed respective sizes of 4 inches and 6.85 inches for those two screens.) The cover display looks to wrap around the exterior camera lenses much like the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025. Despite also getting thinner, the Flip 7 is supposed to feature a bigger 4,300 mAh battery and the same colors and storage options as the Fold 7. The scaled-back Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE isn't likely to match the Flip 7's specs. It reportedly features 128GB and 256GB storage, plus a smaller 4,000 mAh battery. Surprisingly, it appears to have the same size cover and unfolded displays, which contradicts earlier reports that that it would be more similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 6. We'll know for sure how real this is on Wednesday (July 9) when Samsung officially debuts its foldables and wearables. Quandt also teased some marketing images for the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic. He doesn't mention the Project Moohan headset or the rumored triple-fold Galaxy G Fold device, though both might make appearances at the event.
