Samsung leak confirms Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 ahead of launch in the most Samsung way
Samsung has made headlines once again, not through a bold announcement but via an unexpected leak from its own backyard. In a move that feels all too familiar to tech watchers, the South Korean tech giant has seemingly confirmed the names of its upcoming foldable smartphones: the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. The leak came from none other than Samsung itself, through a listing on its Galaxy Store. A beta version of the Samsung Internet Browser was uploaded with the label 'for Fold7 and Flip7,' making a quiet but clear confirmation of the branding for its next-gen foldables. First spotted by GalaxyClub, the update appears to be part of a development release tied to One UI 8, Samsung's upcoming software layer expected to ship with Android 16. The app listing is visible only on select test devices running Android 16 with One UI 8, likely internal Galaxy S25 units. This further supports the notion that these foldables will debut with the new software version. Although the app itself does not reveal specifications or design details, the naming in the title is enough to confirm what many already suspected: the Fold 7 and Flip 7 are on their way, and Samsung just said it out loud. While this accidental confirmation does not include technical specifications, leaks from recent weeks have painted a fairly detailed picture. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to come in configurations of up to 16 GB RAM and 1 TB of storage, with new colour options in tow. The Z Flip 7, meanwhile, is expected in colourways like Blue Shadow and White and will also offer a variety of storage and RAM options. There is also buzz about a more affordable foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE (Fan Edition). Rumoured to be in development, it could launch under $1,000 (around ₹83,000), pointing to Samsung's push to bring foldables to more users. An official reveal has not yet been announced, but all signs point to a Galaxy Unpacked event in early July 2025. Historically, Samsung holds its mid-year Unpacked events to launch its foldable devices, and this year appears to follow the same pattern. Given that internal software builds and app support are already being quietly tested, a July unveiling seems highly likely. This time, Samsung's own app listing did the talking, a familiar occurrence in its launch cycle history. Over the years, the company has gained a reputation for prematurely revealing its own devices through development firmware, app updates, and regional store listings. These leaks, although unintentional, tend to generate as much buzz as the official announcements themselves.

Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 get their own Samsung Browser version ahead of launch
Samsung has a strange new listing on its Galaxy Store - a Samsung Internet browser specifically for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7. The listing is now live, but it's not that special. It's the same Samsung Internet browser (version v28.0.2.43) which is available for devices running Samsung's One UI 8 beta. Both Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 are expected to launch with One UI 8 based on Android 16. The Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 are expected to be unveiled in early July at a dedicated launch event in New York. The pair are expected to be joined by the Flip FE model and we might possibly see Samsung's long-awaited tri-fold device too. Source • Via (in Dutch)

New Samsung app may have accidentally confirmed Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are coming soon — what we know
We've been waiting for more information on when we can expect the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, and a recent listing might be the hint we need. Galaxy Club spotted that Samsung had listed a new app called 'Samsung Internet Browser for Fold 7 and Flip 7" on the Galaxy Store app store. Samsung Internet is the company's own answer to Chrome and other browsers for its mobile devices, and the Fold 7/Flip 7 labelling makes it clear which phones this version is for. The listing is still up at the time of writing, and details several of the features coming with the launch, like customizable menus and ad blockers. And since there's no sense in making a browser for phones that aren't coming soon, this backs up rumors that Samsung's next-gen foldables are on the horizon. Curiously, the app will not appear if you search for it in the Galaxy Store on a Samsung device running Android 15 and One UI 7. Instead, you have to be using a Galaxy S25 running Android 16 and One UI 8 to see the app appear (but with a different name, visible in the second image below), or use a browser. Whichever page you go to, both listings feature the same version number: v28.0.2.43. The main thing to note here is that this seemingly confirms the names of the two devices we expect to see , However, there is no mention in the app about the recently teased Galaxy Z Fold Ultra. Samsung recently unveiled its plans for a foldable phone with a greater focus on AI. However, the actual announcement never mentioned a release date, or an official name - only that an Ultra-grade foldable is on the way. This isn't the only leak we've seen about the next generation of Samsung foldables. A recent series of leaks detailed a bunch of the possible specs and color options. For instance, we saw reports that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 would come with a base 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, as well as two additional options: 12GB RAM + 512GB storage, and 16GB RAM + 1TB storage. Not only that, we heard that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will come with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM, and 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB storage options. This app listing could indicate that we don't have long to wait before the official announcement of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7, which has been previously rumored to be coming at a Galaxy Unpacked event in July.

But even so, a Galaxy Store listing for 'Samsung Internet Browser for Fold7 and Flip7,' spotted by GalaxyClub, does give the game away a little, especially since we're not expecting the new phones to launch for at least a month. Of course, that doesn't preclude extra versions, like the Fold Ultra Samsung teased just this week, or its rumored cheaper Flip FE.
