Samsung announces Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra and here is what it looks like: Full details
Samsung has announced its first foldable, and it looks like the company is keen to add a new entry to the series. This year, the company has recently hinted that this year it may launch the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra. Technically, Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition last year, but given that it was only available in two countries and in very limited numbers, it hardly qualifies as a proper launch. advertisementWhile the South Korean tech giant has yet to confirm the full technical specifications, hints from its official teaser for the upcoming Unpacked event suggest that user feedback has played a major role in shaping the new device. Specifically, Samsung says it has 'listened to users asking for bigger screens'—a clear nod to some notable upgrades on the announces Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra In a recent promotional post, Samsung began teasing what it calls 'the Next Chapter of Ultra.' While the company stops short of explicitly naming the Galaxy Z Fold series, a brief animation within the teaser clearly reveals the redesigned silhouette of what appears to be the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7. advertisement The teaser itself is rather peculiar. Rather than directly referencing foldable devices, Samsung opts for ambiguous language, repeatedly describing an 'Ultra experience' and referring to the mysterious product simply as 'Galaxy Ultra.' This choice of words has raised eyebrows, especially since there's been no indication that the tech giant plans to rebrand its foldable lineup under the Ultra language and tone of the post seem to blur the lines between familiar product categories, leaving some to wonder whether Samsung is hinting at an entirely new type of device rather than simply updating its Fold range. For now, it remains unclear whether this is part of a broader marketing strategy or a sign of a shift in naming conventions. Either way, the messaging has certainly sparked curiosity and confusion in equal Galaxy Z Fold 7: What to expectAccording to industry insiders and recent leaks, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is likely to feature a 6.5-inch cover screen and an expansive 8.2-inch foldable display. These size enhancements would mark a significant step up from the previous model, aligning with Samsung's drive to improve the user experience for multitasking and media official unveiling is expected to take place in the second week of July, though Samsung has yet to formally confirm the date. If the rumours hold true, the Z Fold 7 will debut with a considerably thinner design. Reports suggest that the foldable could be as slim as 4.54mm when open—approximately 1mm thinner than the Fold 6. One particularly bold claim even suggests the thickness could be reduced to just 3.9mm when unfolded. However, such dimensions may prove difficult to achieve in practice and could potentially compromise the device's structural folded, the Fold 7 is tipped to measure around 9mm, making it 3.1mm slimmer than its predecessor. This refined profile is likely made possible by the larger screen real estate, which allows Samsung more flexibility to distribute internal components more these impressive improvements in size and design, not every aspect of the device is receiving an upgrade. Sources indicate that the battery capacity will remain unchanged at 4,400 mAh—the same as the last four iterations in the Fold series. While this might disappoint power users hoping for extended battery life, Samsung is likely banking on software optimisation and improved efficiency from newer chipsets to help balance performance with battery excitement building ahead of the anticipated July reveal, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 looks poised to deliver both aesthetic and functional upgrades—though questions remain around practicality and endurance.
