So far there’s no information on precisely when the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 would possibly launch, however on condition that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 had been each introduced in July of their launch years, July is our greatest guess, with the telephone most likely transport both in late July or in August.
We can confidently say that this telephone is within the works although anyway, particularly as a number of sources have come throughout codenames and mannequin numbers for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. Plus, leaker @PandaFlashPro claims that manufacturing of the telephone will begin in May, which might probably work for a July launch.
As for the worth, based on one supply the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will price the identical quantity as its predecessor. That would imply a beginning value of $1,899.99 / £1,799 / AU$2,749.

Based on previous kind we’re pretty assured of a July or August launch for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
We’d take the worth rumor above with a pinch of salt, since up to now it solely comes from one supply. But on condition that the pricing of the Samsung Galaxy S25 sequence was for probably the most half equivalent to that of the S24, there’s likelihood costs will keep the identical right here too.
A much bigger display and a slimmer construct
- Reports counsel the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 may have larger screens than the Z Fold 6
- It may be barely slimmer
- The crease may very well be smaller this yr too
During an earnings name (through @Jukanlosreve), Samsung itself mentioned that its upcoming foldable telephones would have “improved kind components, sturdiness”, so we are able to most likely count on some adjustments to the design and construct of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
As for precisely what adjustments, we heard from one supply that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 may have the identical display sizes because the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition. That would imply an 8-inch foldable display and a 6.5-inch cowl show, up from 7.6 inches and 6.3 inches for the foldable and canopy screens respectively on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
While we’d take this with a pinch of salt, one other supply has extra lately echoed the declare that the Z Fold 7 may have Z Fold Special Edition-sized screens.
We’ve additionally heard that Samsung is contemplating not placing a digitizer on the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s display, which could enable the telephone to be round 1.5mm thinner, however would additionally imply the S Pen would probably be thicker and require a battery (and due to this fact want charging), as with no digitizer within the show, the stylus would as an alternative must generate an electrical present to work together with the display.
Finally on the design entrance, leaker @PandaFlashPro has claimed that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 may have a smaller show crease than its predecessor, and a extra clean and sturdy hinge mechanism.
Can you belief these rumors?
Until we’ve seen renders of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 we’d take any design claims with a pinch of salt. But with Samsung itself saying that no less than a few of its foldables can be in for a change, there’s likelihood the Galaxy Z Fold 7 can be amongst them.
There’s additionally a good likelihood the claims of bigger screens are correct, since a number of sources have mentioned as a lot.
A giant 200MP improve
- The Galaxy Z Fold 7 may have a brand new 200MP most important digital camera
- There’s no information but on the opposite cameras
So far the one Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 digital camera declare we’ve heard is that it’s going to have the identical 200MP most important digital camera because the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, which might be fairly an improve on the 50MP most important digital camera of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
There’s no phrase but on the opposite cameras, however for reference the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition each have a 10MP telephoto digital camera with 3x optical zoom, a 12MP ultra-wide with a 120-degree subject of view, a 10MP cowl display digital camera, and a 4MP digital camera on the foldable display. So there’s likelihood the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will persist with no less than a few of these.
However, the Z Fold 6 makes use of an under-display digital camera for that 4MP sensor, whereas on the Z Fold Special Edition the lens isn’t hidden below the display, so it stays to be seen whether or not the Z Fold 7’s digital camera can be under-display or not.
Can you belief these rumors?
Since just one supply has actually shared any digital camera particulars but we’d stay skeptical till we’ve heard extra, however we definitely hope the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will get that rumored 200MP digital camera.
An Elite chipset
- Likely to make use of a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset
- Could have 12GB of RAM, identical to the present mannequin
According to at least one supply, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will use a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which is what we’d count on since that’s what the Samsung Galaxy S25 sequence makes use of. If it does, then it ought to be considerably extra highly effective than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which makes use of a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
The identical supply although says to count on 12GB of RAM and a selection of 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB of storage, all of that are the identical specs as the present mannequin.
Another supply has equally mentioned to count on a quicker chipset than the Z Fold 6, and each they and @PandaFlashPro have pointed to a much bigger vapor chamber (which may assist with sustained efficiency) and higher audio system.
We have not heard something concerning the battery but, however for reference the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a 4,400mAh one, so it is prone to be no less than that massive.
Can you belief these rumors?
We’d be very stunned if the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 didn’t use a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, since that’s the subsequent mannequin on from the chipset utilized by the Z Fold 6, and because it’s additionally utilized by the Galaxy S25 sequence.
The storage and vapor chamber claims additionally sound plausible, and sadly so does the declare that it’s going to persist with 12GB of RAM, since even the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra solely has that a lot in most areas.
