For a very long time now, I’ve felt like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip collection is on the cusp of turning into really mainstream, and near proving as common because the Galaxy S collection. That hasn’t occurred but, however I’m undecided Samsung must do a lot to tip the scales in that course.
Below, I’ve listed the 5 issues that I most wish to see from the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 – and these are additionally issues that I feel, collectively, may result in the upcoming cellphone turning into a breakout hit.
Incidentally, I don’t assume most of my requested options can be all that difficult for Samsung to implement on the Galaxy Z Flip 7, however whether or not the corporate will achieve this or not after all stays to be seen. Anyway, let’s get into it.
1. A much bigger, extra feature-packed cowl display screen
Technically, I’m asking for 2 issues right here, however the cowl display screen on the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 appears like a little bit of a missed alternative.
At 3.4 inches, it’s very small, even in comparison with another clamshell foldable telephones just like the 4-inch Motorola Razr Plus 2024. So, Samsung may afford to make the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s cowl display screen a bit larger. That method, it will be extra comfy to work together with.
But to go together with that, I’d additionally like the quilt display screen to do extra. Right now, it could possibly solely run a small subset of apps, and never the entire omissions may even be justified by its restrictive dimension. For instance, our Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 overview discovered that you would be able to’t use the likes of Google Home to regulate good lights, regardless that these easy toggles can be a really perfect match for a compact outer show.
So, I actually hope Samsung isn’t anyplace close to as restrictive about what you are able to do with the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s cowl show.
We haven’t heard something about this display screen’s performance but, however leaks do recommend that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 may not less than have a bigger cowl display screen than its predecessor, so that will be a superb begin.
2. A telephoto digicam
Despite costing across the identical quantity as a Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has one much less rear digicam – two, quite than three. In reality, the less expensive commonplace Samsung Galaxy S25 additionally has three rear cameras, so for those who remotely care about pictures, it might be onerous to justify spending this a lot on Samsung’s foldable cellphone.
What it lacks is a telephoto lens, in order that’s what I actually wish to see added with the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Sadly, from what we’ve heard thus far, the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s cameras may stay fully unchanged from these of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6, which might be very disappointing.
3. Faster charging
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 solely fees at 25W, which is in step with the Samsung Galaxy S25, however slower than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra or rival handsets just like the Motorola Razr Plus 2024, which each cost at 45W. It’s additionally far slower than the likes of the 100W OnePlus 13.
So, I would like Samsung to push the charging velocity up for the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Realistically, I doubt the corporate would go above 45W, since none of its present telephones exceed that, however even boosting it to 45W would make an actual distinction.
Ideally, I’d additionally just like the battery to be larger this 12 months, because the 4,000mAh one within the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is on the small aspect, and it sounds just like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 may certainly have a bigger 4,300mAh battery – although there’s no phrase but on charging speeds.
4. Improved sturdiness
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 is already one of many extra sturdy foldable telephones, however this type of handset is inherently extra fragile than a non-foldable one. So, I’d prefer to see Samsung maintain making strides in enhancing the sturdiness of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7.
One apparent improve it may make is enhancing the mud resistance, as whereas the Galaxy Z Flip 6 can survive a dunk in contemporary water, and is immune to bodily objects which are bigger than 1mm in dimension, it doesn’t have any actual resistance to mud and different tiny issues.
Beyond that, I hope Samsung will proceed strengthening the likes of the hinge and the show panels, to allow them to survive loads of folds and even being dropped.
Based on leaks thus far, it sounds Samsung may grant not less than certainly one of my needs, with leaker @PandaFlashPro claiming the Galaxy Z Flip 7 may have a extra sturdy hinge mechanism than its predecessor. But I’m not optimistic about improved mud resistance, as that’s seemingly onerous to attain with a foldable cellphone.
5. A QHD decision
While most high-end telephones now have screens with a QHD (1440 x 2560) decision or above, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 doesn’t. Its foldable show is simply 1080 x 2640, regardless of, at 6.7 inches, being massive sufficient to profit from a QHD or QHD+ decision.
From what we’re listening to thus far, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 may need a good bigger show, by which case it will profit much more from a decision increase, so I hope it will get one.
So far, there’s no phrase on whether or not it can or not, however I’ve my fingers crossed.
