Samsung’s foldables have always pushed the limits of smartphone design, but the Galaxy Z Fold 7 might be its biggest leap yet — not in size, but in how slim it looks. A new leak shows a retail stand for the phone, and if it’s anything like the real thing, the Fold 7 is going to feel way more comfortable to hold than previous versions.
Sleek, Slim, and Surprisingly Thin
Based on the latest images spotted on Reddit, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could measure just 9mm when folded and around 4.5mm when opened. That’s a noticeable trim down from the Fold 6, and it brings Samsung closer to what brands like Oppo and Honor have already done with their ultra-thin foldables.
Even the hinge in this marketing stand looks much smaller and cleaner. While it’s just a promo display and not the real phone, it still hints at major refinements.
More Than Just a Slimmer Body
Samsung hasn’t confirmed the full spec sheet yet, but here’s what the buzz says so far:
- The Fold 7 will likely support Qi2 wireless charging, a more efficient and faster charging standard that’s just starting to hit flagship phones.
- The aspect ratio of the main display might be slightly wider this time, which could help with apps and multitasking.
- AI-powered camera features are also expected to be part of the package, as Samsung continues integrating Galaxy AI into all its high-end devices.
What’s Changed Compared to Fold 6?
In short: the thickness and feel. While the Fold 6 was still fairly chunky when closed, the Fold 7 might finally be the one you can slip into your pocket without thinking twice. That alone could convince many users who were on the fence about foldables. It’s not about showing off — it’s about focusing on what works.
Samsung has worked on slimming down its foldables for years, but this is the first time the design looks truly modern and minimal.
Launch Coming Very Soon
Samsung is expected to officially reveal the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in early July 2025, likely at its next Unpacked event. As for price? Most reports suggest the Fold 7 may stick close to the Fold 6’s pricing, despite the upgrades.
We’ll know more soon, but if this leak is any indication, the Fold 7 might finally be the foldable that feels like a regular phone — just one that also unfolds into a tablet.
