Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7 specs leak ahead of July 9 Unpacked Event: Here's what to expect
Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event is set for 9 July, and the company is expected to unveil its latest foldable smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. A new leak has revealed alleged specifications for both devices, pointing to slimmer designs and upgraded displays.
According to details shared by tipster Setsuna Digital via Weibo, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could feature an 8-inch internal display paired with a 6.5-inch external screen. The device is expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset. Design-wise, it may incorporate an aluminium frame and a glass ceramic back panel. It is tipped to measure 8.9mm in thickness when folded and just 4.2mm when open, weighing around 215 grams. This would make it significantly thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which comes in at 12.1mm folded and 239g.
The Fold 7 is also said to include a 10MP selfie camera with a 100-degree field of view. Moreover, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also expected to receive several upgrades. It may come with a 4.1-inch cover display and a 6.9-inch internal screen, both offering a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 2,600 nits peak brightness. This could mark a notable step up from the Galaxy Z Flip 6, which features a 3.4-inch outer screen and 6.7-inch main display.
Battery capacity could also see an improvement, with the Z Flip 7 rumoured to house a 4,300mAh unit, up from the 4,000mAh battery found in the previous generation. The new model is tipped to measure 13.7mm when closed and 6.5mm when open, and weigh 188g, offering a sleeker profile than its predecessor.
In addition to the new foldables, the 9 July event is also expected to include the launch of updated Galaxy smartwatches and earphones. Pre-reservations for the upcoming devices have already opened in India.

However, this model won't debut alongside the Galaxy Z Series and is anticipated to launch in October. WhatsApp is trialing a new in-app document scanner feature for Android, enabling users to scan documents using the app's built-in camera. According to WABetaInfo, the function is being rolled out to select users through the beta version 2.25.19.21. A similar tool has already been made available for iOS users.

The X8 Ultra stands out as a well-rounded, camera-first flagship. While other models like the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and Vivo X200 Pro shine in specific aspects, OPPO's offering strikes a better overall balance with exceptional color accuracy, powerful telephoto zoom, and impressive low-light portrait results.

The listing is scheduled to begin on July 9.

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
