Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 prices revealed — here's what we know
Last year was seemingly the year of price hikes for many tech companies, especially Samsung, before President Trump introduced tariffs this year. So far in 2025, Samsung has managed to keep prices relatively the same for its latest handsets. A new rumor from tipster PandaFlashPro on X claims that the trend will continue with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. "Few Countries will get Price Increases, while Most of Markets will keep Prices Similar to the Previous ones," they posted. They say that this information is "confirmed," we assume by one of their sources. However, they have not provided any information about which countries will get a price increase. However, the tweet ends with $1899 and $1099 for the Z Fold and Z Flip, respectively. This suggests that, at least in the US, the price will remain the same as the Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 at launch. Last year's models did get a disappointing $100 price bump. At the same time, the tipster also posted about the Z Fold 7's camera, specifically the zoom capabilities.

There will also be 3x optical zoom, presumably via the telephoto camera. They finally said that they will be capable of 10x, 20x and 30x digital zoom. We expect Samsung to announce the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 in early July during the company's annual summer Galaxy Unpacked event. We could also see One UI 8, based on Android 16, debut then as well. Samsung typically reveals its new wearables at that time so we should also see the Galaxy Watch 8 and either Galaxy Watch 8 Classic or Ultra, and potentially an updated Galaxy Ring 2.

The Samsung Galaxy tri-fold could have these 3 features in common with the Galaxy Z Fold 7
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Galaxy G Fold and Galaxy Z Fold 7 could share some features Hinges, speakers, and flatness may match across both handsets We're expecting to see both these phones show up during July We shouldn't have to wait too much longer for the launch of the Samsung tri-fold phone – quite possibly called the Samsung G Fold – and a new leak suggests it's going to borrow significantly from another upcoming handset, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. According to well-known tipster @PandaFlashPro (via Wccftech), the speakers and the way they're incorporated into the chassis will be the same across both foldables. Presumably, this won't be too different from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 either. What's more, the hinge mechanism is apparently going to be similar on both handsets, and both should feature a "full-flat body" – we're assuming that means the bumps and creases will be minimal, which is something that's already been rumored. No doubt this is going to save some money for Samsung, because they can use more of the same components across the Galaxy G Fold and the Galaxy Z Fold 7, even though the former is going to have an extra hinge and a third screen panel. Samsung has previously teased a tri-fold handset, so we know it's on the way, but we don't know much else about it, officially. Brightness and wired charging speeds seem set to match the current models, at 2,600 nits and 25W respectively. Unlike the Huawei Mate XT, the Samsung tri-fold is rumored to fold inwards, which means an outer screen is needed as well as the main display. The displays are apparently going to measure 6.49 inches (outer) and 9.96 inches (inner), corner to corner. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 are widely expected to launch sometime in July, and it seems the Galaxy G Fold will be fully unveiled at the same time. However, it may not go on sale until later in the year – and availability could be limited. Whenever it shows up, don't expect it to be cheap. It'll certainly be more expensive than the standard Galaxy Z Fold model, and as our Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 review will tell you, that phone launched at a starting price of $1,899.99 / £1,799 / AU$2,749. Samsung drops another big hint about its tri-fold These are the best foldables you can buy Expect a large screen on the upcoming Galaxy tri-fold

Samsung's rumored tri-fold phone may use a new kind of battery
Samsung has teased the tri-folding Galaxy G Fold for years, but even its teases and rumors have yet to paint a full picture of the new folding form factor. The latest rumor comes from X user PandaFlashPro, who claims to reveal what kind of battery the folding phone might use, and it's different from any battery Samsung has used before. They wrote that the phone will feature a silicon-carbon battery. It's the same kind of battery that was recently rumored to be in next year's Galaxy S26 phones. Silicon-carbon batteries are an evolution of the current standard Li-Ion batteries. The big difference is that these batteries use a silicon anode instead of a graphite one. What this means for the battery is that it's supposed to have a higher density, meaning it can hold more energy in a similar amount of space. As an example, OnePlus' "glacier battery," which is silicon-carbon, manages to squeeze a 6,100 mAh battery cell into the same amount of space that a Li-ion 5,000 mAh cell takes up. Chinese phone maker Honor introduced the silicon-carbon battery during MWC 2023, and likely first put it into the Magic5 Pro. It's been a couple of years, but the tech hasn't taken off outside of China. However, Samsung's rival Apple is reportedly exploring silicon-carbon for its phones this year. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Samsung has been relentless in its attempts to make thinner and thinner devices. In a reply to a comment on their post, PandaFlash said that the battery capacity of the tri-fold phone would be "under 5,000 mAh." So, it seems that Samsung is prioritizing thinness over capacity. With the improved capacity in smaller spaces, a silicon-carbon battery might be necessary to get that slim profile Samsung is hunting for. It also might help the company focus on other areas of the foldable, including durability. The much-rumored Samsung Galaxy G Fold might come out this summer. If it does, it will likely get announced at the summer Galaxy Unpacked event alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 and Samsung's smart wearables.

Next-gen foldables incoming as Samsung reportedly begins mass production of Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7
It's been a busy year for Samsung so far having launched the Galaxy S25 series at the beginning of the year, followed by new AI-focused digital appliances and vacuum cleaners a couple of months later. But if you thought that was it from Samsung this year, think again. The company is just weeks away from an official launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge, rumored to be fully revealed on 13 May after being teased during the Galaxy S25 event, and its folding devices are also expected before the end of the summer. Recommended Videos Speaking of Samsung's folding devices, the latest rumor has claimed production has started for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. The report comes from PandaFlashPro on X, picked up by Sammobile, and it suggests the two devices, as well as accessories, have entered the production lines. If true, it should put the folding devices on track to launch on time, which if last year is anything to go by, should be sometime in July. Samsung used to announce its folding phones and smartwatches in early August but the timeline has been brought forward in recent years. Interestingly, the post from PandaFlashPro doesn't mention the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, which has also been rumored to be launching alongside the other two devices as a cheaper alternative. There have been a number of reports surrounding the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 already and while Samsung hasn't confirmed anything about the devices as yet, we are starting to get a good idea as to what they might offer. What can we expect from the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7? The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to rival Motorola's Razr Ultra 2025 when it launches, with reports claiming it will feature a larger external display than the Galaxy Z Flip 6 at 4-inches – like Motorola's Razr Ultra 2025 – and be fully functional too. The Galaxy Z Flip 6's cover screen is limited to notifications, quick settings and widgets unless you fiddle with back end settings and third-party tools so a more functional external display like Motorola's Razr offers would be welcomed. There is also expected to be a larger battery capacity, though while the Snapdragon 8 Elite was initially reported to be under the hood, more recent reports suggest Exynos 2500 will power Samsung's flagship flip phone. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, however, is expected to run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite, whilst offering a slimmer design to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 6. For now, nothing is officially confirmed of course but if mass production has started for these two devices, we wouldn't be surprised to see more rumors surrounding them appear over the next few weeks and months.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 tipped to feature new chipset ahead of launch
Samsung is tipped to expand its foldable portfolio with reports hinting at not two but four foldables in the pipeline. Alongside the expected Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, the tech giant may also introduce a triple-fold device—possibly called the Galaxy G Fold—and a budget-friendly Flip FE. While official details remain under wraps, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is rumoured to feature the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset . Samsung is also expected to keep pricing relatively modest, making the stylish clamshell more accessible to fans. A recent report suggests that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset—specifically, the overclocked 'for Galaxy' variant. Tipster @PandaFlashPro shared on X (formerly Twitter) that the device has already cleared all internal evaluations, including network performance tests, with this powerful processor under the hood. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is also expected to run on the same chip. While Samsung could have gone with its in-house Exynos 2500 for a more cost-effective approach, production limitations may have made that route unviable. As a result, the Snapdragon 8 Elite appears to be the chosen chipset for both of Samsung's next-gen foldables. What else is on the horizon? The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to bring subtle but meaningful upgrades to its design, starting with slightly larger displays. According to recent tips, the external cover screen is set to increase to 3.6 inches, while the main foldable display will measure 6.8 inches. These are modest bumps over the Z Flip 6's 3.4-inch cover screen and 6.7-inch inner display, hinting at a more immersive user experience without a drastic redesign. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also tipped to feature slightly revised dimensions, now reportedly measuring 166.6 x 75.2 x 6.9mm, and 9.1mm thick when factoring in the camera bump. While the changes are subtle, they reflect Samsung's continued push for refinement in its foldable lineup. In terms of cameras, Samsung is expected to retain the dual-lens setup, featuring a 50MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. Though the specs might sound familiar, both sensors are said to be upgraded versions, promising enhanced photo and video performance. Under the hood, the Flip 7 will likely pack 12GB of RAM with storage options of 256GB and 512GB. Despite some design elements carrying over, several leaks suggest Samsung has addressed key pain points—most notably, the crease on the inner display, which is now rumoured to be far less visible than before. What's up with Tri-Fold & Flip FE? A fresh update from The Bell—a well-regarded South Korean outlet known for reliable tech scoops—has provided more clarity on Samsung's upcoming foldables. According to the report, Samsung Display has officially kicked off production of the screens for both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. These foldable OLED panels are said to be manufactured using a front-end process that closely mirrors that of traditional OLED displays, with only minor tweaks introduced in the final stages to accommodate their foldable nature. Samsung Electronics is expected to kick off full-scale production of its upcoming foldables in May 2025, with a global launch—India included—set for the third quarter of the year. Additionally, the much-anticipated Galaxy Z Flip FE and the rumoured Galaxy Tri-Fold are now expected to debut in Q4 2025. These devices were initially planned for release alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 but seem to have been delayed. The delay in the Galaxy Z Flip FE's launch is reportedly tied to low chip yields from Samsung Foundry for the Exynos 2500, which was initially slated for the Galaxy S25 range but was also scrapped for similar reasons. However, another report suggests that the Flip FE might instead feature the Exynos 2400e chipset, the same processor powering the Galaxy S24 FE
