Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 may feature a surprise hardware return after all
With the launch of any new Samsung phone comes the will-they-won't-they debate around Exynos hardware. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 – expected to launch in July 2025 – is no different, with new information suggesting that Samsung's next folding phone will be Exynos powered. The details come from a leaker who has given us useful information in the past. Jukanlosreve has taken to X (formerly Twitter) to say that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 will use an Exynos chip, while the Flip 7 FE will not. Recommended Videos We first heard this claim in December 2024, when it was reported by The Elec that Samsung planned to use its latest hardware to power its compact folding phone. Since then it's emerged that Samsung had wanted to use Exynos 2500 for the Galaxy S25 family, but the yields weren't high enough and it never came to pass. It seems, then, that the Z Flip 7 is the next target for Samsung, so it will get to use the Exynos hardware in a significant device, rather than moving on to the next-generation Exynos hardware (Exynos 2600), which is expected to power the Galaxy S26 family. Flip 7 will be powered by Exynos 2500, while the Flip 7 FE will not use an Exynos chip. — Jukanlosreve (@Jukanlosreve) May 11, 2025 There's traditionally been a regional divide to the Snapdragon vs Exynos debate, so those in the US might find that this is just an amusing aside that impacts the rest of the world, but not those in North America. Samsung has used Qualcomm's Snapdragon hardware in its North American devices for the last decade and that's unlikely to change. If the company sticks to previous form, we'll see Exynos in Europe, while China and USA still get Snapdragon. As to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, rumour suggests that this is going to be basically a Z Flip 5 with updated hardware, allowing Samsung to offer a cheaper folding phone to compete with the likes of the Moto Razr 2025. Previously it was reported that the Z Flip 7 FE would be powered by the Exynos 2400e, but now it seems that this model might be flipping back to an older Snapdragon chip, potentially the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The next-generation of Samsung's folding phones are expected to be announced at a bumper Galaxy Unpacked event, which rumor suggests will take place in New York in early July. That event should reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Galaxy Z Flip 7, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE; it's also expected that we'll see the Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic, and there could be some more details on the Project Moohan headset and possibly Samsung's smart glasses. It could be a very busy summer for Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE may feature similar specs as Galaxy Z Flip 6, but at an affordable price
In a few months, Samsung will unveil its Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 across the globe. But, this year, it is even more exciting as the company is planning to launch two more foldables: a triple-fold and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. While the triple-fold device is self-explanatory, the Flip 7 FE is a toned-down version of the new clamshell-device. But, a recent leak suggests that it may not be as toned-down as it sounds. The Galaxy Flip 7 FE is expected to feature specs similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 6. For instance, the Flip 7 FE is tipped to be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and is expected to debut in a modest price segment. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: Leaked specs According to Greek outlet Techmaniacs, Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is expected to closely mirror the specifications of the Galaxy Z Flip 6. The device will reportedly feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, the same as the one powering the Z Flip 6, along with 12GB of RAM. It's also believed to adopt the same camera system, comprising a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 10-megapixel front-facing camera—all said to support 4K video recording. This new information contrasts with earlier rumours that suggested it would come with 8GB of RAM and the Z Flip 5's dual 12-megapixel rear cameras. The foldable handset is tipped to include a 4,000mAh battery, offering 25W wired and 15W wireless charging, and has already received 3C certification in China. Display-wise, it is likely to retain the 6.7-inch LTPO 2x AMOLED main screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, along with a 3.4-inch external display—identical to the Z Flip 6. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: How much will it cost? A recent report suggests that the rumoured Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE could launch with a price tag below 1,000 euros (approximately Rs 96,000). This places it in a comparable price bracket to the existing Galaxy Z Flip 6 flagship, which begins at 899 euros (around Rs 86,000) for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. Based on this price segment, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE may still burn a hole in your pocket, but it definitely will be less than what you would be spending on the latest Galaxy Z Flip 7. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: Release date (expected) Samsung is preparing to introduce two new clamshell-style foldables this year, though the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is anticipated to debut a few months after the launch of the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Based on the company's typical launch timeline, the Z Flip 7 is expected to be officially revealed around July 2025. Rumours indicate that it may sport a large outer display, akin to the one seen on the Motorola Razr+. However, it appears unlikely that Samsung will release both flip phones simultaneously. If this leak is true, then we may witness the triple-foldable phone and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE launch on the same day.
