Samsung is just days away from launching its newest foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7, on July 9, 2025. But thanks to trusted sources, we already have an early look at what these phones will bring. The good news? Samsung seems to have listened to what users wanted lighter phones, bigger screens, smarter chips, and longer support.
Galaxy Z Fold 7: The Slimmest Foldable Yet
Samsung is going all-in on making the Galaxy Z Fold 7 the thinnest and lightest foldable book-style phone on the market.
What’s new?
- 8.9mm thick when folded
- 4.2mm thick when unfolded
- 215g weight, making it even lighter than Vivo’s Fold 5
- Stronger Armor Aluminum frame and a sleek glass-ceramic back
Why it matters: This makes it much easier to carry and hold. No more feeling like you’re holding a mini tablet when folded, it’s closer to the size of a regular phone.
Galaxy Z Flip 7: Bigger Battery, Smaller Body
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 has also slimmed down while actually growing where it counts.
Key changes:
- 13.7mm when folded, 6.5mm when unfolded
- Lighter at 188g
- 4,300mAh battery — that’s a bump from the Flip 6
- 4.1-inch cover screen and a 6.9-inch foldable display
- 1.25mm ultra-thin bezels
Why it’s impressive: Samsung managed to make it thinner and add a larger battery, all without using the newer Silicon Carbon tech. That’s clever engineering.
Better Displays With High Brightness
Both phones come with sharp, smooth, and super-bright displays:
- 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and gaming
- Up to 2,600 nits brightness — easy to read outdoors, even in direct sunlight
- Fold 7: 6.5-inch cover + 8-inch inner screen
- Flip 7: 4.1-inch cover + 6.9-inch foldable screen
Why it helps: Whether you’re watching videos, reading in sunlight, or flipping between apps, everything feels fast and looks crystal clear.
Super Smart Chips and Long Software Support
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 will run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 “Elite for Galaxy”, while the Flip 7 will feature Samsung’s own Exynos 2500 chip. Both are powerful and built for smoother performance and better battery life.
Both phones also offer:
- 12GB RAM
- Android 16 with Samsung’s new One UI 8.0
- 7 years of Android OS and security updates
Why that’s a big deal: These phones will stay updated till 2032, making them one of the longest-supported Android devices ever.
Cameras That Do More Than Just Snap
Samsung is giving the Z Fold 7 a huge boost with a 200MP main camera — that’s a massive upgrade from the 50MP in the Fold 6. It also features a 10MP front camera with a 100° field of view, perfect for wide-angle selfies and group video calls.
The Z Flip 7 camera details are still under wraps, but expect improvements that make everyday shots easier and clearer, especially with Samsung’s AI enhancements on the way.
Packed With Modern Tech Features
Both foldables come loaded with features you’d expect from top-tier smartphones in 2025:
- 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4
- USB 3.2 Type-C
- Stereo speakers
- NFC
- Side-mounted fingerprint reader
No official IP rating has been mentioned yet, but Samsung may surprise us at launch.
