Therefore, for a greater understanding, we have found 5 major upgrades which are expected in comparison to last year's Galaxy Z Fold 6. Know what the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has in store for the users. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will likely be slimmer and wider in comparison to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 model. The new-gen model may come with a 3.9mm thickness, and it may weigh 236 grams, whereas the Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 5.6 mm in thickness and weighs 239 grams.

Amazon is Going Nuts, Galaxy Z Fold6 Drops to a New All-Time Low ($600 Lower Than Before)
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is Samsung's latest flagship foldable phone and there's currently a promotion that is simply too good to ignore. For the very first time in history, Amazon is offering a huge discount on this premium foldable phone and it has never been cheaper before. The 256GB version which originally retails for $1,899 is available now for just $1,227 which is a whopping $700 less, which translates to a 35% discount. You can also get the 512GB model at $1,149 down from $2,019. See at Amazon This is a record price for this level of device, and keep in mind that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is considered to be the most high-end and premium foldable smartphone currently available. Why Should You Buy That One? Samsung has been the all-time foldable smartphone market leader for years now, and it introduces some great innovations that have served as the industry benchmark ever since. Since other companies like Apple haven't yet entered this arena, Samsung has invested over five years perfecting its foldable technology. And the end result is a phone that is stunning to behold but that is loaded with features and capabilities that push what a smartphone can do. At the center of the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is its big, immersive display which is a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main screen with a 2176 x 1812 resolution and a super-smooth 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. It unfolds to deliver a true tablet-like experience which is ideal for productivity and entertainment. The exterior features a 6.3-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover display for quick access and comfortable one-handed use. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is driven by a lightning-fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset which is paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 1TB of storage (though the current Amazon deals highlight the 256/512GB models). The graphics are stunningly realistic and they're powered by the advanced Adreno 740 GPU which is why it has become a top choice among gamers who want to elevate their experience to new heights. But the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is also a smart and intuitive device, thanks to the fusion of sophisticated AI features (Galaxy AI). The Galaxy Z Fold 6 also excels in photography: It boasts a triple rear camera system with a 50MP wide camera with optical image stabilization, a 12MP ultrawide camera with a 123-degree field of view, and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. For selfies and video calls, there's a 10MP cover camera and a 4MP under-display camera on the main screen. What's great with this phone is that you can have as many as three windows open simultaneously so you can type documents, text friends, online shop or watch movies on Netflix — all at once. This level of multitasking is not possible with regular phones and makes the Galaxy Z Fold 6 a top pick for a lot of people. The device features a robust 4,400mAh battery with support for fast charging, wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging and it will last over a day. The current Amazon discount (almost $700 discount on both models) makes this product a great deal if you desire to experience the future of mobile technology. For work, for fun, or for creativity, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 delivers on all fronts. See at Amazon

Amazon is incredibly selling a 512GB Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 model at a $600 discount
If you're still looking for the best Memorial Day 2025 deal around, fret not, my bargain-hunting friends, as quite possibly the greatest foldable phone money can buy in the US has just dropped to a hard-to-beat price in its most advanced configuration. I'm talking, of course, about the Galaxy Z Fold 6 with 512GB storage, which Amazon is now selling at a huge $600 discount. That's more than what many (non-foldable) handsets typically go for, but because this flexible Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 powerhouse with 7.6 and 6.3-inch screens in tow is normally priced at a whopping $2,019.99, Amazon's latest promo still doesn't make it (conventionally) affordable. 5G, Unlocked, 512GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 7.6-Inch Main Foldable Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X Display with 2160 x 1856 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, 6.3-Inch Secondary Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X Screen with 2376 x 968 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Support, 50 + 10 + 12MP Triple Rear-Facing Camera System, 4MP Under-Display Camera, 10MP Cover Camera, 4,400mAh Battery, Android 15, Galaxy AI, Pink Color, US 1-Year Manufacturer Warranty Included Buy at Amazon In case you're wondering, yes, the Z Fold 6 has been marked down even more substantially in the past, but only by third-party Amazon merchants that are not always completely trustworthy. This time around, you're looking at a deal handled and fulfilled by the e-commerce giant itself, which obviously means your deeply discounted mobile device will include a standard 1-year manufacturer warranty valid in the US. Before pulling the trigger, you should also note that the only model available at $600 off its list price comes in a pink hue, which could be a deal breaker for some... and a deal sealer for others. Don't hesitate too much if you're not sure this product is right for you, though, as the unprecedented and potentially unbeatable promotion could well go away in a matter of hours. Possibly, before Memorial Day actually ends. The two 120Hz refresh rate-capable AMOLED displays mentioned above are unsurprisingly highlighted as key selling points in our comprehensive Galaxy Z Fold 6 review from last year, and although the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is all but guaranteed to further expand the screen real estate (both on the inside and outside of the fold), the value proposition here will remain difficult to top. That's because the improved Z Fold 7 is naturally likely to cost a small fortune at launch too and unlikely to receive hefty discounts very quickly. As such, you should probably think long and hard before turning down the rare opportunity to save big on the super-stylish, exquisitely robust, decidedly powerful, and undeniably versatile Z Fold 6 with 512 gigs of local digital hoarding room and a generous 12GB RAM count.

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. Also read: Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 likely to be world's slimmest foldable- Here's what we know 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. Also read: Samsung's tri-fold phone may launch in July alongside Galaxy Z Fold 7- What we know so far 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.

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.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 leak brings all the angles and all the measurements
Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. | Image credit – PhoneArena We are getting closer to the launch of Samsung's next foldables – the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 – and the leaks are starting to roll in faster. One of the more interesting recent tidbits was that the Fold 7 could be incredibly thin this time, maybe even rivaling the Oppo Find N5, which currently holds the record. And now we've got more precise numbers to work with thanks to newly leaked CAD to the files, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could measure just 4.54mm when unfolded and around 9mm when folded – only 0.1mm thicker than the Find N5. That is such a small difference, it will probably be hard to notice. The latest leak suggests these are the dimensions of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7. | Image credit – SamMobile On the Flip side (literally), the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will reportedly stay at 6.94mm when unfolded – identical to the Flip 6. So it looks like Samsung didn't bother thinning it out further. Including the camera bump, the Flip 7 should come in at about 9.17mm thick. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 should stay the same as the current model. | Image credit – SamMobile Here are the reported dimensions: Unfolded Galaxy Z Fold 7 : 158.43 x 143.14 x 4.54mm 158.43 x 143.14 x 4.54mm Unfolded Galaxy Z Flip 7 : 166.61 x 75.23 x 6.94mm Now, while the slimmer profile of the Fold 7 is definitely a step forward, there are still a couple of underwhelming hardware choices that might hold it back. Most notably, Samsung is expected to stick with the same 4,400mAh battery from the Fold 6 – and yes, it should be still limited to 25W is quite disappointing when you look at what the competition is doing. The Oppo Find N5, for example, packs a big 5,600mAh battery and supports up to 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. So yeah, in the battery department, Oppo clearly has the upper hand. Oppo Find N5 review: The foldable king is back! With a July launch window looking likely, we can expect even more info on Samsung's foldables to leak out in the coming weeks.
