Even more key Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Z Flip 7 FE details are now out of the bag
Even though we still don't have an official launch date for Samsung's next big Android-powered foldables, the start of the company's buzz-building campaign certainly suggests the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Z Flip 7 FE, Z Fold 7 , and possibly, Z Fold 7 Ultra are right around the corner. As such, it shouldn't come as a surprise that more and more tipsters feel confident in predicting more and more details about three of those fast-approaching devices... after their designs have already been leaked in trustworthy factory CAD-based renders and even a wild real-life photograph. Galaxy Z Fold 7 : 12GB RAM + 256GB storage; 12 + 512GB; 16GB + 1TB;
: 12GB RAM + 256GB storage; 12 + 512GB; 16GB + 1TB; Galaxy Z Flip 7 : 8GB RAM + 128GB storage; 12 + 256GB; 12 + 512GB;
: 8GB RAM + 128GB storage; 12 + 256GB; 12 + 512GB; Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: 8GB RAM + 128GB storage; 8 + 256GB. Wait, wasn't all this information revealed just yesterday? Not exactly. Arsène Lupin, aka @MysteryLupin, actually adds to the details leaked by WinFuture's Roland Quandt, thus providing a more complete picture of Samsung's 2025 foldable portfolio (minus the Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra, which may or may not be a real thing).
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to start with an underwhelming 8GB RAM count.
The most important tidbit disclosed today that wasn't included in yesterday's report is how much RAM the Z Fold 7 , Z Flip 7 , and Z Flip 7 FE are set to pack in each storage configuration. Interestingly, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will apparently be equipped with a hefty 16 gigs of memory in a top-of-the-line 1TB storage variant. That's especially notable because the most advanced (and the most expensive) Galaxy Z Fold 6 model only comes with 12GB RAM. Then again, Google's Pixel 9 Pro Fold offers a whopping 16 gigs of the good stuff in combination with as little as 256GB internal storage space, so clearly, Samsung can do even better than this if it wants to claim the best foldable trophy. The Z Flip 7 , meanwhile, is very curiously tipped to downgrade its predecessor's 12GB RAM to just 8 gigs for an entry-level 128GB storage variant while keeping the memory count of the Z Flip 6's two other configurations unchanged. That's likely to be a cost-cutting measure on Samsung's part, especially if the company aims to price the Galaxy Z Flip 7 at the same starting level as last year's Z Flip 6 , but it remains to be seen if customers will understand and accept the compromise.
Speaking of compromises, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is expected to stick to 8GB RAM in both 128 and 256GB storage variants, which is both completely unsurprising and totally fine... as long as Samsung gets the Fan Edition pricing right. Galaxy Z Fold 7 : Silver Shadow, Blue Shadow, Jet Black, Coral Red;
: Silver Shadow, Blue Shadow, Jet Black, Coral Red; Galaxy Z Flip 7 : Blue Shadow, White Black;
: Blue Shadow, White Black; Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE: Black, White.
The most exciting thing here is without a doubt the very swanky-sounding Coral Red-coated Z Fold 7 model, which should perfectly match the Coral Red Z Flip 7 flavor rumored yesterday.
The first-of-a-kind Z Flip 7 FE could come in just two (rather boring) color options. Unfortunately (and unsurprisingly), the Z Flip 7 FE is unlikely to join its pricier sibling and cousin in adopting such a flashy hue, instead playing things safe with black and white colorways, at least based on existing information from two different and equally reliable insiders. Circling back to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , it must be highlighted that its silver (shadow), blue (shadow), and (jet) black paint jobs are now also "confirmed" from two sources, unlike the aforementioned (coral) red color. Interestingly, the Z Flip 7 is rumored to come in a "White Black" version rather than separate white and black models, which could be an innocent typo... or a suggestion of a decidedly unconventional two-tone design that Samsung has experimented with in the past. The blue (shadow) colorway is practically etched in stone, and if history is any indication, many more paint jobs will be confirmed in the coming weeks (for both the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 ).

Weekly poll results: Huawei Pura 80 Ultra is a hit, no Google services is still a concern
Lack of Google Play Services is still a concern for many, but last week's poll shows that Huawei has not lost its mojo – the new Pura 80 Ultra in particular is a highly desirable phone. That said, it may be out of reach for many, literally or figuratively. The Huawei Pura 80 Ultra received a very warm welcome. If Huawei was still using Google-connected Android, this could have been one of the best selling premium phones of the year. It's not just Google Play access, though. When Huawei was embargoed by the US, it had to shrink its global distribution network and it still hasn't recovered. There was a debate over the overcomplicated telephoto camera – many felt that Huawei could have been clearer about that in its marketing. The camera offers a choice of 3.7x and 9.4x zoom, but it can't do full resolution shots at the longer focal length. The large 1/1.28' 50MP sensor is usable in full at 3.7x, but does a 2x crop when in 9.4x mode, which limits the resolution to 12.5MP. The Huawei Pura 80 Pro and Pro+ differ mainly in the more advanced satellite messaging support for the latter. And yet the Pura 80 Pro+ was the clear favorite between the two – it goes to show that satellite messaging will be an increasingly more important feature going forward. Anyway, neither Pro model was as popular as the Ultra, but they did alright. Finally, the vanilla Huawei Pura 80 got a surprising number of votes – we're used to seeing the vanilla model get the cold shoulder (it does have the advantage of not splitting the votes, unlike the Pro and Pro+). The usual considerations apply for the whole Pura 80 family. Some mentioned that apps like GBox can act as a replacement for Google Play Services and will allow you to run Google apps (and other apps that rely on Google APIs). Still, if any issues occur, you'd be on your own. That applies to warranty too – if you import a Pura 80, repairs and servicing will be difficult. And last but not least, 5G band support is an issue in some regions. Even with all that said, there is a good reason why Huawei was the biggest smartphone maker in the world for a bit. And phones like the Pura 80 family are a good reminder of that. If you are not deterred by the lack of Google services, mark July 10 on your calendar - that is the date of the global launch of the Huawei Mate 80 series. We are not sure whether all four models will be available (the Pro+ is a long shot). Also, we haven't seen any ads in the EU - but fans in South America, Africa and Asia can look forward to the new camera flagships.

Metro rep sells a customer on the "Great" Revvl 7 5G. You can probably guess what happened next
If you're at a store looking to buy a new phone, always try to do some instant research. By that, I mean you should ask to see a working model of the phone the rep wants to sell you. How does it feel in your hand? How's the build? You want to see if the phone is zippy or if it lags. They might throw out the name of the processor under the hood and you might think it sounds impressive when in reality it is a slower and older application processor. What you are trying to avoid is the experience that some unfortunate consumer recently had at a Metro store. This guy already had a phone for work and wanted one for personal calls and texts. He did the right thing by articulating to the rep what he wanted. He told the rep that he was looking for something "decent" and while he didn't need a top-of-the-line phone, he didn't mind spending a little bit of money. He did tell the salesman that he spends a lot of time on his phone and didn't want something cheap. The rep told the customer that every model he wanted to hold in his hand was out of stock. That included several mid-range Samsung phones that the customer apparently had an interest in. Not having any of those models in stock was a definite red flag that foreshadowed what happened next. The customer told the rep that he would check out another Metro store even though he really didn't want to because the closest one was 30 minutes away. Not wanting to let this fish off the hook, the rep all of a sudden let the customer know about a great phone he had in the back, the T-Mobile Revvl 7 5G. The rep said it was a great phone and the customer was going to love it. As many of you know, the Revvl 7 is the latest iteration of T-Mobile 's in-house smartphone line and is equipped with only 128GB of storage, 6GB of RAM (on the very low end these days), 2TB of expandable storage, and a triple camera setup (50 MP primary, 2 MP Depth, 2 MP Macro). There is an 8 MP front-facing camera for selfies and video chats. A 5000 mAh battery keeps the lights on. The display weighs in at 6.58 inches with an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2048. So you can see by the specs that this could be considered a "cheap" phone and not what the customer wanted. However, not knowing anything about the Revvl 7, the customer was sold on the device by the rep who even threw in a "free" tablet. Knowing that he'd have to pay for activation and the monthly fee, he declined the "free" tablet on the spot. The customer explains what happened next. "I get home and the phone is trash. Super slow. Terrible quality and horrible camera. Again, I should have done my research but still, it pissed me off. I mean come on, the Revvl 7? I should have known better. This phone might as well have been a piece of toilet paper." Most PhoneArena readers would have known that the Revvl 7 5G was not the "great" phone the rep characterized it as being. When the customer went back to the store four days later, boy did the Metro rep try to gaslight him. They first told the customer he couldn't return it because they had a 24 hour return policy. That was a dumb lie considering that the receipt showed the 14-day return policy and customer service confirmed that. The customer ended up getting a phone he wanted, the Samsung Galaxy A36 which was back in stock after four days. Not that the rep cared. Such is the nature of the phone sales business these days that reps can pile one outrageous lie on top of another and not only don't they care, neither does the company that pays him to pull fast ones on innocent victims.
