Galaxy Z Fold 7 leak hints at a bezel so thin, it might vanish
A reputable leaker is now saying that Samsung may have managed to slim the Fold 7 's inner display bezels quite a lot... and also reiterates earlier rumors about the potentially exceptional thinness of the upcoming foldable phone . Samsung's upcoming foldable phones are seen in leaks constantly nowadays. Every little rumor fills a picture of what we can expect from them, and the latest leak, from reputable leaker Ice Universe, gives us some more details about the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7. The tipster has now revealed that Samsung may have managed to slim down the bezels around the inner display of the foldable to just 1 mm. The leak also corroborates earlier info about how ultra-thin the phone may be. The inner screen of the foldable is said to sport a super-slim bezel of just 1 mm. For reference, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the Fold 7 's predecessor, has a bezel on the inner screen measuring 1.9 mm. Yep, that's almost a whole millimeter shaved off, and it would most likely be quite visible in real life. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7' s inner screen bezel is narrow. In the picture, it is Fold6, and the width of the bezel pointed by the arrow is 1.9mm. The Fold7 is directly dried to 1.0mm, and the outer screen bezel of the Flip7 is also very narrow, only 1.2 mm. — ICE CAT (@UniverseIce) May 9, 2025 But that's not all! Samsung is spreading the love to the outer screen of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 as well, and its display bezels are said to shrink to just 1.2mm. Slimmer bezels ensure a more immersive display experience, but they also look quite trendy and premium. The slight design tweak may seem minimal to some, but it's huge, especially for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 . I won't be surprised if, when you look at the Fold 7 and then at the Fold 6, the Fold 6 may look outdated now if this leak is true. Meanwhile, Ice Universe (or ICE CAT) has also shared the dimensions of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 compared to other Fold models. Reportedly, the Fold 7 may measure just 158.4 mm x 143.1 mm x 3.9 mm, which corroborates earlier rumors about the Fold 7 's exceptional thinness of 3.9mm when unfolded! The thin devices trend is here, and judging from all the leaks and rumors, Samsung is joining it this year with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and its refined design. Oppo's Find N5 currently holds the title of the world's thinnest foldable, but it seems Samsung is set on stealing it before Honor's Magic V5 does... Meanwhile, Apple is also gearing up to release a foldable iPhone, but this one is said to come next year. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 may be announced sometime in early July with a traditional summer Unpacked event.

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold7 could be the thinnest foldable, leak suggests
A new leak puts the thickness (or, should we say, thin-ness) of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 at the slimmest ever seen in a foldable phone. At a mere 8.2 millimeters folded, it would presumably be roughly just 4.1mm when opened. To put that in perspective, a stack of three quarters would be thicker. The existing Z Fold6 measures in at 12.1mm when folded. The new leak comes from X user Anthony, aka @TheGalox, via SamMobile. After only iterative improvements to the Fold6 last year, foldable fans are hoping for a big leap forward from this year's model. We're also expecting this to be the year of ultra-thin phones in general, with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone 17 Air also set to be released in 2025. Whenever I think of futuristic foldables, I think of the folding tablets from West World. If the new leak proves true, we're getting awfully close to that world (at least in terms of the production design, not necessarily in terms of killer androids). So far, the biggest obstacle to ultra-thin phones lies in the cameras. In supposedly leaked renderings of the new ultra-thin foldable, the cameras stick out noticeably from the back of the phone, a recurring problem in modern smartphone design. SEE ALSO: Motorola launches three new foldable Razr phones for 2025 And to throw a dash of cold water on the latest rumors, previous leaks put the thickness of the Z Fold7 at 9.55mm closed, which is still very thin. Currently, the world's thinnest phone is the Oppo Find N5 at 4.21mm when unfolded. And if the Oppo Find N5 was any thinner, it wouldn't have room for a USB-C charging port. Does that mean we'll soon see the return of something like the dreaded Lightning Cable? As an alternative, upcoming foldable smartphones could have no ports at all, relying entirely on wireless charging and connectivity, though that would come with major tradeoffs.
