Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: Unfolding the Leaks and Rumours
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is set to make a significant impact in the foldable smartphone market. Expected to launch in early July alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7, this device aims to refine its predecessor's features while addressing user demands for better usability, enhanced performance, and competitive pricing. However, with the Motorola RAZR 60 Ultra as a direct competitor, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 faces the challenge of maintaining its position in an increasingly competitive market. The video below from Tech Spurt gives us more details about the new Samsung foldable. Watch this video on YouTube. Design and Display: Balancing Portability and Functionality The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is rumored to feature a larger 4-inch cover display, a notable upgrade that brings it closer in functionality to the Motorola RAZR 60 Ultra. This enhancement allows for greater interaction with apps and notifications without the need to unfold the device, improving convenience for users on the go. The internal display is also expected to see slight growth, with Samsung reportedly working to reduce the crease for a smoother and more immersive visual experience. Despite these changes, the Z Flip 7 retains its signature compact, foldable design, appealing to users who value portability without sacrificing functionality. This balance between form and practicality continues to be a defining feature of Samsung's foldable lineup. Battery and Performance: Meeting Modern Demands Battery life remains a critical factor for foldable smartphones, and Samsung appears to be addressing this with a 4,300mAh battery, an increase from the Z Flip 6's 4,000mAh capacity. This improvement, combined with more energy-efficient components, is expected to provide longer usage times, catering to the needs of power users. However, the decision to equip the Z Flip 7 with Samsung's Exynos 2500 chipset instead of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 may raise concerns. While the Exynos chipset is designed to deliver solid performance, it may fall slightly short when compared to the RAZR 60 Ultra's more powerful processor. This could influence users who prioritize raw performance in their devices. Software and Usability: Optimized for the Foldable Experience The Z Flip 7 is expected to run on Android 16 with Samsung's One UI 8, offering a refined and user-friendly experience. One UI 8 is anticipated to introduce enhanced multitasking capabilities, allowing users to take full advantage of the foldable form factor. Additionally, Samsung is reportedly improving app compatibility for the cover screen, allowing users to perform more tasks without unfolding the device. These software enhancements aim to make the Z Flip 7 a more versatile tool for everyday use, appealing to both productivity-focused users and those seeking convenience in their smartphones. Camera Hardware: Consistency Over Innovation In terms of photography, the Z Flip 7 is likely to retain the same camera hardware as its predecessor, the Z Flip 6. While this ensures reliable and consistent performance, it may disappoint users expecting significant upgrades in camera capabilities. Competing devices like the Motorola RAZR 60 Ultra could gain an advantage if they offer superior camera features. For Samsung, the decision to prioritize other areas of improvement over the camera may reflect a calculated approach to balancing costs and features. Pricing and Variants: Aiming for Accessibility Samsung is expected to adopt an aggressive pricing strategy for the Z Flip 7, with the device likely to be priced under $1,000. This approach is crucial in a market where affordability plays a significant role in consumer decisions. Additionally, rumors suggest the possibility of a Z Flip 7 Fan Edition, which could be a rebranded version of the Z Flip 6. This variant may cater to budget-conscious buyers who are eager to experience foldable technology at a lower price point. By offering multiple options, Samsung aims to appeal to a broader audience and strengthen its position in the foldable market. Competition and Market Position: Navigating a Crowded Space The Motorola RAZR 60 Ultra presents a formidable challenge to the Galaxy Z Flip 7. With a larger 4,700mAh battery and potentially superior processing power, the RAZR may attract users who prioritize performance and endurance. However, Samsung's established reputation in the foldable market, combined with its focus on software integration and usability, could help the Z Flip 7 maintain its appeal. The competition between these two devices highlights the growing demand for foldable smartphones and the importance of balancing innovation, performance, and pricing to capture consumer interest. A Strategic Step Forward The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 represents a thoughtful evolution of the company's foldable smartphone lineup. By addressing key areas such as battery life, display usability, and software enhancements, Samsung aims to solidify its position in the competitive foldable market. While the Motorola RAZR 60 Ultra offers compelling alternatives, the Z Flip 7's success will likely depend on its ability to deliver a well-rounded experience at an accessible price point. As the launch date approaches, all eyes will be on Samsung to see if the Z Flip 7 can meet expectations and further define the future of foldable smartphones.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs Galaxy Z Flip 5: Is it time to upgrade?
The next big thing in flip phones is just around the corner! We're nearing the official announcement of the Galaxy Z Flip 7, the next flagship flip phone Samsung is going to offer to all fans of the design around the world. With the Motorola Razr Ultra already making rounds and getting a lot of attention, Samsung needs to bring some upgrades to the table in order to compete. And most importantly, convince its longtime fans to stay inside the ecosystem. Speaking of which, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will be two years old soon, and people might already be on the lookout for a replacement. So, should they upgrade to the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 or look elsewhere? Let's find out! Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs Galaxy Z Flip 5 differences: *rumored Table of Contents: Design Display Performance Camera Battery Specs Summary According to the most recent leaks and rumors, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 follows in the same footsteps as its predecessors, including the Galaxy Z Flip 5 . The rumored dimensions suggest that the new model will be a tad wider, probably to accommodate the larger main screen. We're talking 3 millimeters, so nothing drastic. The weight of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is still a mystery but we expect a slight increase here as well, mainly due to the bigger footprint and the larger battery, but more on this later. For what it's worth, the new phone will probably be thinner when folded, as Samsung reduced the gap between the two sides of the phone in a folded state from the Z Flip 5 to the Z Flip 6 . No reason for this to change in the opposite direction, it's more likely for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 to be even thinner when folded. *rumored In terms of materials, we don't expect any radical changes—it's the same glass and metal sandwich design all over again. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to feature a new Gorilla Glass Victus Ceramic, while the Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes with Victus 2. Both phones rely on aluminum color situation is still a bit vague, but we do have some rumors about the potential hues of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 . There's a new Coral Red color option that's expected on the new device, but other than that, most of the shades mimic previous generations. That said, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 is available in some really hip colors, such as Yellow and Lavender. *rumored Display Differences Bigger screens all around We expect Samsung to bring some changes to both displays of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 , compared to last generation, and, of course, compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 5 . The main flexible screen is expected to grow in size to 6.85 inches, and the cover screen is believe to stretch edge-to-edge coming in at 4 inches. *rumored In terms of brightness, the latest leaks and rumors point toward the same 2600 nits of peak brightness as the previous model, which in turn still means an upgrade from the advertised 1750 nits on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 . In our display test, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 managed only 857 nits of brightness at 100% APL, which, by 2025 standards, is average. We can't wait to test the Galaxy Z Flip 7 , but if we extrapolate from the previous generation, we should expect something in the ballpark of 1200 nits at 100% APL. We expect both screens on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 to be able to go up to 120 Hz, but the main one is believed to be an LTPO covering 1-120 Hz, while the cover will have a fixed 120 Hz refresh rate. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 , on the other hand, can do only 60 Hz on its cover screen but features the same LTPO tech on the main display. Stay tuned for lab tests soon. No surprises here; the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is rumored to have the newest Qualcomm chip, the Snapdragon 8 Elite. Due to the Samsung Z Flip series' release schedule, the models will miss out on the next flagship Qualcomm increase in performance from the Gen 2 on the Z Flip 5 to the Elite on the new model, though, will be more than enough to justify an upgrade. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 managed around 2000 and 5000 points in Geekbench 6 single- and multicore tests, respectively, and for reference, the Snapdragon 8 Elite-equipped Motorola Razr Ultra did 3000 and 8600 in the same tests. So, there's a huge leap to be made, but stay tuned for hard numbers and real benchmarks soon. *rumored The RAM situation is in favor of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 , the phone will mimic the RAM of the previous model coming in at 12GB, which is still more than what the Galaxy Z Flip 5 has to offer, which is just 8GB of RAM. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to launch with OneUI 8 out of the box over Android 15. In contrast, the Galaxy Z Flip 5, which is almost two years old now, was announced with OneUI 5 and Android 13 but was brought up to the latest OS with subsequent updates. Speaking of updates, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 will get only four years of major OS updates, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to be supported for seven years. Well, while we don't expect any hardware upgrades to the camera of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 , compared to the last generation, Samsung already upgraded the main camera on the Galaxy Z Flip 6, so in practice, we've got a better main camera on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 , if we compare it to the Galaxy Z Flip 5 . *rumored The Galaxy Z Flip 5 managed a camera score of 136 overall (the current best is 158) in our test, which is not very far from its direct successor (137 for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 ), so we can't wait to see how the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will fare in our lab tests. As always, we have to keep in mind that hardware alone isn't the deciding factor when we talk about smartphone photography, and different post-processing algorithms are in play. So, we'll have to snap some side-by-side photos to see how the Galaxy Z Flip 7 fares against its older sibling in the camera department. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 comes equipped with a 3700 mAh battery, which even at launch was a bit on the lower side. The phone managed only 5h 11m composite battery score in our test, which currently ranks it #117 in this department. Now, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to bring a substantial upgrade (at least compared to the Z Flip 5). The speculated battery capacity is 4174 mAh, almost 500 mAh more than the Z Flip 5. This will inevitably lead to better battery life figures but we'll have to test it to see the exact numbers. *rumored Samsung seems so reluctant to upgrade the charging speeds of its phones. The Galaxy Z Flip 5 supports only 25W wired, and it seems that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will come with the same support, even after two long years between these generations. The wireless charging support is also carried over for another consecutive year; it's 15W. Here's a quick specs comparison between the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 5 : *rumored Even though the upgrades on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 aren't huge compared to the previous generation, they shape up to be just enough to convince people coming from older Z Flip devices to upgrade. Next to the Galaxy Z Flip 5 , the new model is expected to offer a better main camera, bigger inner and cover screens, a larger battery and potentially better battery life, the best Qualcomm silicon to date, and the latest software with seven long years of support. We will update this comparison with all the tests, benchmarks, camera samples, and display scores once we lay our hands on the Galaxy Z Flip 7 , so stay tuned for the final verdict.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 just tipped to feature taller and wider screen
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 could feature a slightly bigger screen compared to the Z Flip 6. Regular tipster, Max Jambor, posted a somewhat cryptic tweet with what appears to be the screen dimensions for the forthcoming clamshell phone. The tweet simply reads: B7 Display: 161.57 x 69.96 mm. That's about 6.36 inches x 2.63 inches. This a reference to the main screen when the clamshell is open. Jambor did not provide any dimensions for the cover display. As the publication Sammy Guru notes, the B7 is reportedly an internal Samsung code for the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Sammy Guru claims the cover screen will be bigger covering the entire backside of the phone's upper half. In comparison, the Z Flip 6 is 165.1 x 71.9 x 6.9mm when opened, so the leak suggests this year's iteration will be slightly taller and wider at 166.6 x 75.2 x 6.9mm. Sammy Guru also calculated the phone's aspect ratio based on the dimensions for a slightly wider one at 22:9.53, compared to 22:9 of the Flip 6. It all hints at a slightly taller and wider phone with probably thinner bezels. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In a smaller leak, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will feature a 4,300 mAh battery, which is bigger than the one in its predecssor. Meanwhile the bookstyle Galaxy Z Fold 7 will allegedly feature a 4,272 mAh battery in total, comprised of two secondary Li-ion batteries. In another tweet, Jambor also says the Galaxy Z lineup has entered mass production. This means that Samsung should be ready for its usual Galaxy Unpacked summer event which will likely take place in early July.

Rumor: Samsung has started mass production of next-gen foldables, except for the tri-fold model
Samsung has been producing certain components for the upcoming Galaxy Z series since mid-February, claims leakster Max Jambor, and now mass production of the actual phones is starting. Max reports that the B7 display will measure 161.57 x 69.96mm. 'B7' is an internal name for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7, just like the B6 was the Z Flip6. That works out to a 176mm diagonal, slightly larger than the 170.3mm diagonal of the Z Flip6 (mind you this doesn't account for the rounded corners). Indeed, the Z Flip7 is reported to have a 6.85' inner display, up from 6.7' on its predecessor, plus a roomier 4' cover display (which goes edge to edge, unlike the 3.4' display of the Z Flip6). Samsung tri-fold display concepts: Flex G • Flex S So far, so good, but Max also has some bad news – Samsung's triple foldable still hasn't gone into mass production. Samsung has been making components for it since the end of March, but it hasn't started building actual phones yet. The tri-fold device is internally known as Q7M, but it is expected to adopt the Galaxy G Fold name when it reaches retail. This isn't necessarily an indication that something is wrong, mind you. We've been hearing that the Samsung tri-fold will launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, but will only be available in a couple of countries and only a limited number of units will be built, 200,000, if rumors are to be believed. In other words, there's no need to get an early start on production. For context, even the Galaxy Z Flip FE is expected to move 900,000 units and the Galaxy Z Fold7 will aim for 3 million. Source

Samsung 'tri-fold' and Galaxy Z Flip 'FE' might debut this year: Report
Samsung appears to be pushing ahead with its foldable ambitions, with two new devices reportedly on the horizon — though they may arrive later than initially expected. According to a report by 9To5Google, which cites Korean publication The Bell, Samsung is preparing to launch a new budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip FE and a tri-fold device sometime in the fourth quarter of 2025. While Samsung's flagship foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, are still reportedly on track for a July or August release, the company's more experimental and affordable offerings are said to be arriving a few months later, 9To5Google reported. The Galaxy Z Flip FE — a lower-cost alternative to the standard Flip series — was previously rumoured to launch 'months' after the Flip 7, but this is the first relatively solid timeline pointing to a Q4 debut. Meanwhile, the tri-fold device, which may carry the name "Galaxy G Fold," has experienced a shifting development schedule. Earlier reports suggested a Q3 release, but more recent information indicated Samsung might only preview the device later this year, pushing a full release into early 2026, as reported by 9To5Google. According to a report by the 9To5Google, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will be slightly thicker than the 6.9mm profile of the Z Flip 6 and could feature a 3.4-inch external display shaped like a folder, accommodating a two-camera set-up. Inside, users can expect a 6.7-inch foldable AMOLED display. Samsung may opt for an Armour Aluminium frame for this model, enhancing its overall durability and resilience. As reported by Smartprix, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE could borrow its camera hardware from last year's flagship, possibly including a 50MP main camera paired with a 12MP ultra-wide lens. The device is also expected to retain the same 4,000mAh battery capacity seen in the Z Flip 6. It may be powered by the Exynos 2400e processor — a slightly scaled-down version of the chip found in the Galaxy S24 series. On the software side, the phone will likely launch with One UI 7 based on Android 15 and is expected to benefit from Samsung's extended update policy, offering up to seven years of software and security support. Samsung Galaxy G Fold: What to expect Samsung's upcoming tri-fold smartphone, expected to be called the Galaxy G Fold, will reportedly weigh just under 300 grams — placing it in the same ballpark as the Huawei Mate XT, which debuted last year as the world's first commercially available tri-fold device. However, in terms of design, Samsung's model may not be as slim. According to a GSMArena report, the Galaxy G Fold won't match the Mate XT's ultra-thin 3.6mm profile when fully unfolded. Regarding the screen, the Galaxy G Fold is said to offer a 9.96-inch display when fully extended, giving users a near-tablet experience. When folded, a 6.54-inch portion of the screen will remain accessible. For comparison, Samsung's existing Galaxy Z Fold 6 features a 6.3-inch cover screen and a 7.6-inch inner display. This suggests the G Fold will significantly expand the visual experience compared to the brand's current foldables, potentially positioning itself as a more versatile productivity and media consumption device.
