Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 leak says it will not have camera under display ahead of July 9 launch
Samsung's next-gen foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, is just around the corner. The official launch is set for July 9 at the company's Galaxy Unpacked event. But well before the official unveiling, leaks have painted a fairly detailed picture of what users can expect. The latest round of leaked renders and videos hint at a familiar but improved design, with one of the most talked-about changes being the return of a punch-hole camera on the inner screen, something Samsung hasn't done since 2020's Galaxy Z Fold under display camera?This change comes as a surprise, especially because the company has stick to under-display camera tech since the Galaxy Z Fold 3. But new images, shared by popular tipster Evan Blass, clearly show a hole-punch camera setup on the foldable's internal display. This aligns with earlier rumours that Samsung might drop the under-display camera, a move some believe is driven not just by performance but also possible patent concerns, especially as Apple is believed to be working on a foldable of its placement of the punch-hole camera seems unchanged, still located halfway down one side of the folding screen. While it may not offer a full-screen experience like the under-display camera did, it's likely to deliver better quality for selfies and video calls, something which many users might had hoped for in previous Fold models.A thinner, lighter Fold?advertisement Design changes don't stop at the camera. A recent video posted by Korean YouTube channel TheSinza compares a dummy unit of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with the Fold 6. The new model appears to be noticeably thinner. When unfolded, the Fold 7 is said to measure around 4.5mm, while the folded thickness could be about 9mm. That's a big improvement over last year's Fold 6, which was 5.6mm when open and 12.1mm when makes the Z Fold 7 one of Samsung's slimmest devices ever, even slimmer than the Galaxy S25 Edge, which is reportedly 5.8mm thick. A thinner build could make the foldable easier to handle and less bulky in pockets. Apart from being more compact, the new model may also come with a lighter frame, with the total weight expected to hover around 215 display, cleaner designSamsung appears to be tweaking the display size too. The inner screen could get a bump from 7.6 inches on the Fold 6 to 8.2 inches on the Fold 7, as per leaks. On the outside, the cover display may remain at 6.5 inches. Another design tweak includes the removal of the ridged camera rings that first showed up on the Fold 6 and later carried over to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. These rings received mixed feedback, with many users feeling they took away from the phone's premium finish. According to leaks from IceUniverse, Samsung has decided to drop this design in favour of cleaner, flatter camera rings for a more refined camera upgrade on the way?advertisementThe camera department might be getting a serious boost. Multiple sources have now claimed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will feature a 200-megapixel primary sensor, a major upgrade from the 50-megapixel main camera on the Fold 6. This sensor has previously been used in the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, a model limited to China and Korea, and also in the Galaxy S25 remaining rear cameras are expected to stay the same, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 10-megapixel telephoto lens. On the front, a 10-megapixel sensor with a wide 100-degree field of view is expected, possibly the same one seen in the newly reintroduced punch-hole Samsung has not officially confirmed these details, the consistency of leaks from multiple sources makes this information quite chipset?On the performance front, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is likely to be powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. It is a flagship-level processor and expected to provide a top-tier performance, especially when it comes to multitasking, gaming, and running demanding apps on a foldable specifications are still unclear, but given the device's thinner form factor, Samsung may need to optimise battery life through software and chip efficiency rather than simply increasing the battery Galaxy Z Fold 7: Price expectationsAs for pricing, there haven't been any specific leaks yet. However, considering that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 was launched in India at Rs 1,64,999, the Fold 7 is expected to be priced in the same range. A major price jump seems unlikely given the already premium cost of the device. Samsung will also be aware of India's price-sensitive market, where big increases could impact sales. Unless the upgrades are seen as substantial, the company may stick with its existing pricing structure to stay competitive.- Ends
