Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 leak reveals wider display, design overhaul ahead of launch
Samsung is preparing to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 later this year, potentially alongside a new tri-foldable smartphone. Despite lower sales forecasts for foldable devices, the tech community remains interested in the new models due to expected hardware upgrades. Recent leaks provide a first look at the Galaxy Z Fold 7, revealing notable changes in its design.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 was introduced as a redesign for Samsung's book-style foldable, but it remained behind some competitors in key areas such as device thickness and outer display size. Competitor's foldables often feature outer screens closer to the size and shape of traditional smartphones, while Samsung's models have favoured narrower screen proportions. The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 appears to address this by offering a much wider outer display.

The leaked image via NotebookCheck shows the rear of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which highlights its broader design compared to the Galaxy Fold 6. The camera modules also appear larger in these leaked images. Rumours suggest that the Fold 7 will include a 200MP main camera, a substantial upgrade over the 50MP sensor on the previous model. Additionally, the device is expected to have a slimmer build, and it will run on the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.

On the other hand, CAD files obtained by SamMobile provide detailed measurements of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. When fully opened, the device is reported to be 4.54mm thick, while folded, it measures 9mm. Although slightly thicker than some earlier rumours, this still marks a notable reduction compared to the previous generation. Compared with the Oppo Find N5, the Fold 7 is marginally thicker but close enough that the difference may not be noticeable in everyday use. Its full unfolded size measures approximately 158.43 x 143.14 x 4.54mm.

Meanwhile, for the Galaxy Z Flip 7, the same report lists dimensions at 166.61 x 75.23 x 6.84mm when opened. The thickness figure appears slightly off compared to the Flip 6, which measured 6.94mm, which suggests that the 6.84mm number could be a miscalculation.
Samsung is expected to introduce both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 at an upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, following the company's usual release schedule for foldable devices.

Top 4 Best-Selling Smartphones in Q1 2025 Are All iPhones
Apple secured the top four spots in the list of best-selling smartphones worldwide during the first quarter of 2025, with the iPhone 16 emerging the highest-selling device globally. According to Counterpoint Research, iPhone 16 was followed by iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 15. This quarter also marked the return of the base iPhone model with Apple keeping its presence in the global top-10 list. iPhone 16e made a strong debut, securing sixth place in the global top-10 list for March 2025—its first full month of availability. Despite its higher price point compared to the iPhone SE 2022, the 16e is expected to outperform its predecessor over the course of its first year, thanks to significant technological upgrades and an expanded feature set. Top-Performing Countries The iPhone 16 performed well in Japan and the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, with Japan registering the highest growth in sales of the base variant. Improved economic conditions and revised subsidy regulations supported Apple's pricing strategy and ecosystem, further enhancing its appeal in the Japanese market. The iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro took the second and third spots, respectively. However, the Pro series faced headwinds in China due to government subsidies favouring devices priced under CNY6,000 ($833) and intense competition in the premium segment from local OEMs such as Huawei. Despite these challenges, the Pro models accounted for half of Apple's total iPhone sales for the third consecutive quarter. Samsung Meanwhile, Samsung had one fewer model in the top-10 compared to the same period last year. Although the overall share of the top 10 smartphones in global sales remained steady, there was an uptick in the share of low-end smartphones (below $100) within the list. Samsung's flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra ranked seventh in Q1 2025, down from fifth place held by the S24 Ultra in Q1 2024. According to Counterpoint, the drop was due to a shorter sales window for the S25 Ultra during the quarter. Despite this, the S25 series delivered stable performance, contributing one-fourth of Samsung's total smartphone sales during its launch month. The Galaxy A16 5G claimed fifth place in Q1 2025. The A16 5G recorded a 17% year-over-year (YoY) growth, supported by broader availability in markets like North America, where it launched in January 2025. North America accounted for one-third of its total global sales. Additional momentum came from the Asia-Pacific (APAC), Latin America (LATAM), and MEA regions, where it gained popularity in the budget 5G segment. The Galaxy A06 also experienced strong growth in Q1 2025, rising four spots in the top-10 list compared to its predecessor in the same period in 2024. This was part of a broader surge in low-end smartphone demand across regions. MEA, APAC, and LATAM together contributed to three-fourths of global sales in this segment. As the supply of low-cost components improved, the low-end segment became the fastest-growing in Q1 2025, capturing nearly 20% of total global smartphone sales.

Young Innovators Take Centre Stage as Samsung ‘Solve for Tomorrow' Rolls Through Hyderabad and Bengaluru
Samsung 'Solve for Tomorrow' Season 4 has made its way to South India, fuelling a wave of youth-driven innovation. Across the dynamic campuses of Hyderabad and the bustling tech hubs of Bengaluru, students are uniting to envision a brighter future for their communities, armed with empathy, purpose, and the principles of design thinking. Samsung 'Solve for Tomorrow 2025' is a nationwide contest designed to inspire students to create innovative solutions to address some of society's most pressing challenges by leveraging technology. It will provide INR 1 crore to the top four winning teams to support the incubation of their projects, along with hands-on prototyping, investor connects, and expert mentorship from Samsung leaders and IIT Delhi faculty. During the 'Solve for Tomorrow' roadshow at the University of Hyderabad, hundreds of students immersed themselves in a design-thinking workshop, challenging the status quo and uncovering solutions to everyday problems. 'For me, the turning point was when the instructor said, 'There are countless problems in the world, but only a few who take action to solve them,'' said R. Deepika, a Business Analytics student. 'That statement inspired me to become one of those problem-solvers and create meaningful impact.' Mukta, a Healthcare and Hospital Management student, also experienced a shift in perspective. 'This session taught me to think like an entrepreneur. A simple idea can transform the world, and now I'm determined to bring mine to life,' she said. The momentum didn't stop there. At KG Reddy Engineering College in Hyderabad, D. Ganesh Reddy, a BTech Computer Science Engineering student, left the workshop with a clear understanding of how technology can address local challenges. 'The session showed me that student ideas can lead to real-world change if we approach them with curiosity and structure,' he said. Similarly, over 500 students from top institutions like Jain University, Dr. Chandrama Dayanand Sagar Institute of Medical Education and Research, and Kempowda Institute of Medical Sciences gathered to explore design thinking and innovation in action. 'This workshop opened my eyes to the problems in my own community,' said Joel J, a second-semester BTech student. 'For the first time, I realized I could be the one to solve them.' A Movement for Innovation Across these cities, the workshops have done more than generate ideas—they've sparked confidence. Confidence that young minds, with the right mindset and guidance, can drive transformative change. As 'Solve for Tomorrow' continues its journey across India, it's not just expanding its reach—it's unlocking new possibilities. From Hyderabad to Bengaluru and soon to regions like the North-East, the program is cultivating a future powered by student-led innovation. Applications are open, and the next generation of problem-solvers is already in motion. Let the ideas flow.
