Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 vs Galaxy Z Flip 6: 3 big upgrades to expect this year
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 will make its official debut on July 9, 2025, at the Galaxy Unpacked event. Samsung's clamshell-based foldable smartphone is one of the most popular foldable smartphones due to the premium build, advanced features, and powerful performance. However, several competitors have emerged, compelling Samsung to upgrade. Therefore, this year South Korean giant is expected to bring significant upgrades to Galaxy Z Flip 7 in comparison to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 model. Therefore, know the upgrades we can expect and how Samsung plans to compete with other foldables.
Design and display: Samsung has reportedly made several design refinements to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, which makes it better than the Galaxy Z Flip 6. For starters, we can see a bigger cover display from 3.4-inch to 4-inch. The crease of the foldable display panel is expected to be nearly invisible. Therefore, we can expect a refined hinge in comparison to the predecessor. Lastly, the main display is also expected to be increased from 6.7 to 6.85 inches. However, both models may support the Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display, providing pleasing visuals and smooth navigation.
Performance: For performance, the Galaxy Z Flip 6 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor paired with 12GB RAM and up to 512GB internal storage. However, this year, there may be a change of plans as Samsung may ditch Snapdragon chips for the flip series. Reports suggest that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will likely be powered by the in-house Exynos 2500 chip, with a similar 12GB of RAM storage.
One UI 8 and battery upgrade: Instead of the new One UI 7, Samsung may include the new One UI 8 based on Android 16 out of the box. This may bring new features and a refined user experience for a foldable device. While the Galaxy Z Flip 6 will also get the update after the launch. Additionally, we may also get new AI-powered features. There are also rumours about the battery upgrade for the Galaxy Z Flip 7. This year, Samsung may bring a 4300mAh battery, up from a 4000mAh battery Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Apart from these upgrades, the camera features are expected to remain similar to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 with a 50MP main and a 12MP ultrawide camera.

Samsung may unveil 'tri-fold' device at Galaxy Z 7 series launch on July 9
Samsung is set to release its next-generation foldable smartphones on July 9 at the Galaxy Unpacked. Reportedly, the South Korean electronics maker will unveil its 'tri-fold' device at the event, too. The said device, likely to be called Galaxy G Fold, will not launch alongside the Z Series foldable models, but is planned for release in October this year. As for the models set to launch on July 9, an alleged image of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has been shared on X (formerly Twitter) by a user named Evan Blass. The image reveal slim design and thickness of the camera module. According to a report by 9To5Google, Samsung will preview the Galaxy G Fold in less than two weeks from now, but launch it later in October. This is a strategy that Samsung has used with the Galaxy S25 Edge. The company unveiled the Edge series at the launch event of its flagship S25 series smartphones, but launched it later in May. Date: July 9, 2025 Venue: Brooklyn, New York, US Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: What to expect Evan Blass (@evleaks) has shared an alleged image of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The photo shows the phone partially unfolded, with a close-up view that highlights the button layout. Through the picture, it is evident that the upcoming foldable smartphone is going to be significantly slimmer than its predecessor. In a June 10 blog post, Samsung described its upcoming foldable device as 'thinner, lighter, and more durable than the last.' Additionally, the camera setup doesn't look as slim as it was expected to be. Furthermore, it seems like the under-display camera is gone. Instead, there's a hole-punch selfie camera on the inner screen again. It's placed in the same spot — halfway down one side of the display — and looks about the same size. What's worth noting is that this is the first time since the Galaxy Z Fold 2 that Samsung has brought back a hole-punch camera on a Fold model. Starting from the Z Fold 3, Samsung has been using under-display cameras. Previously, Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is built with user needs in mind, featuring tighter integration of Galaxy AI within the software to offer a more agentic experience. The company also emphasised that AI won't just power standalone apps and tools but will increasingly shape the entire user interface, saying, 'AI will become UI.' Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra: What to expect Samsung has previously previewed the Ultra variant with a slimmer foldable design. In a blog post, the company said: 'For years, Samsung has listened to users asking for bigger screens, better cameras, and new ways to connect and create… That's why Galaxy's next chapter is to provide an experience that seamlessly blends artistry and engineering.' The Ultra is expected to feature voice-enabled AI controls, a suite of Galaxy AI tools, and deeper system-wide AI integration, mirroring the S24 Ultra's capabilities in a foldable form. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: What to expect Samsung is expected to equip the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 with its own Exynos 2500 processor, potentially replacing the Snapdragon chips used in previous foldables. This move reflects the company's existing dual-chip strategy seen in the Galaxy S series. While the camera setup may remain unchanged, performance enhancements are anticipated through the ProVisual Engine. The Flip 7 could also feature a larger 4-inch cover display, updated case designs, and OLED panels using blue phosphorescent materials to improve power efficiency and reduce the screen crease. Samsung has kicked off its pre-reservation programme for the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold, Galaxy Z Flip, and the latest Galaxy Watch series ahead of official launch on July 9. Customers can pay a token amount of Rs 1,999 to get early access to the new devices, along with exclusive benefits worth up to Rs 5,999 on purchase.
