Samsung Unpacked: Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 expected, but tri-fold tease could steal the show on July 9
With Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event locked in for July 9, 2025, excitement is steadily building around the tech giant's highly anticipated foldable lineup. While official details are still under wraps, new rumours have surfaced that shed light on when fans can expect to get their hands on the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, and, interestingly, a long-rumoured triple foldable might finally make its Samsung has not confirmed exact availability dates, speculation is mounting based on past release patterns and the latest whispers from the rumour mill. According to a post by tipster Instant Digital on Chinese platform Weibo, both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 will be unveiled during the Unpacked event in early July, with an official retail release expected to follow in Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 launchWhile this timeline hasn't been officially endorsed, it does align neatly with Samsung's previous launch cadence. Take last year, for instance, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 were announced on July 9 and launched precisely two weeks later, on July 24. A similar pattern was observed in 2023 with the Fold 5 and Flip 5. Given this trend, it wouldn't be surprising if Samsung sticks to a similar two-week window for the Fold 7 and Flip 7. If so, eager customers could be pre-ordering their new foldables by the end of July, with full availability kicking off shortly after. However, as always with leaks and speculation, it's best to temper expectations until official announcements are made. Hence, there is a greater possibility that the Galaxy Fold 7 and Flip 7 will hit the shelves in early August triple foldable launchadvertisementAdding to the intrigue this year is the potential debut of Samsung's elusive tri-fold phone — a device that has been floating through the rumour sphere for quite some time. The same report claims that the tri-fold will be shown off at Unpacked alongside the other two foldables, but unlike its more conventional cousins, it won't be hitting store shelves anytime soon. The tri-fold, according to the leak, is set for a later release, with availability currently pegged for true, this would mark Samsung's most ambitious foray yet into the foldables space. The company has long teased concepts of multi-folding smartphones, but a commercial release would signal a major step forward in flexible display rumoured for an Unpacked debut are the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, continuing Samsung's push to cement its place in the premium wearables segment. While details remain thin, fans can expect iterative updates to health tracking, performance, and battery in all, Samsung appears to be gearing up for a packed second half of the year. With the Fold 7 and Flip 7 likely arriving in late July or early August, and a tri-fold device possibly landing in October, the South Korean firm is clearly betting big on its foldable course, none of this has been officially confirmed, and Samsung remains tight-lipped ahead of the big reveal. But if the rumours prove accurate, July's Unpacked could be one of the brand's most exciting events in years. For now, all eyes remain on July 9 — the date that could redefine the foldable landscape once again.- Ends

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE tipped for Unpacked — and it could be the cheap foldable we've all been waiting for
With the July 2025 Galaxy Unpacked event looming on the schedule, we could find out very soon if Samsung can finally deliver a cheaper foldable. The next Galaxy Unpacked event takes place July 9 in New York, and it's almost certain that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will share the spotlight at the event. But there have been rumblings those two flagship foldables could be joined by a third model — the lower cost version of the Flip that most people are referring to as the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Much like the FE model that Samsung offers for its Galaxy S phones, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE would scale back on some of the features found on the regular Flip. By doing so, Samsung could offer the FE model for less, giving shoppers a low-cost alternative to stave off stepped-up competition from rival phone makers who can undercut Samsung's foldables on price. A number of leakers certainly seem to think a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE is on the agenda for Samsung. Roland Quandt has posted about some of the phone's rumored specs on while prominent leaker Evan Blass has even offered up official-looking renders of the phone that appeared at PhoneArena. How likely is it that a Galaxy Z Flip FE joins Samsung's other phones at Unpacked? We'll address that question after reviewing potential specs for the foldable phone and just why Samsung would be motivated to produce a lower-cost device. Galaxy Unpacked 2025 preorder: Whether you're hoping for a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE or some other foldable phone, you can save on the final price by registering at Samsung's website. You'll get a $50 credit to apply to your purchase of anything announced at Unpacked on top of any other pre-order offers Samsung unveils. Samsung has long spoken about how it wants foldable phones to become more mainstream, and an easy way to do that would be to lower the price. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 currently starts at $1,899, making it one of the most expensive phones you can buy. The Galaxy Z Flip 6 comes in at a more reasonable $1,099, but that's still very lofty when compared to other devices, even premium ones like the Galaxy S25 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro. Enter the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, which would scale back some of the standard Z Flip's specs to offer a lower starting price. The most likely candidate for a downgrade would be the phone's chipset, with Samsung rumored to be turning to either Exynos or MediaTek silicon instead of the Snapdragon 8 chips that have powered recent flagship foldables. If Samsung does turn to one of its own Exynos chips for the Galaxy Z Flip FE, it may not even be the current Exynos 2500 system-on-chip that may appear in some Galaxy Z Flip 7 models. Instead, Samsung is expected to turn to an older Exynos chip as a cost-cutting move. The Galaxy S24 FE also scales back the camera specs offered by the Galaxy S24, so the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE could do likewise. That said, most rumors suggest the Galaxy Z Flip 6's camera setup featuring a 50MP main camera and a 12MP ultrawide lens will find its way to the FE. A more likely difference could be the screen sizes offered by Samsung's different Flip phones. While the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to feature larger interior and cover displays than its predecessor — 6.85 inches and 4 inches, respectively — the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE could stick with the Z Flip 6's screen specs. That would mean a 6.7-inch main panel and a 3.4-inch outer display. For his part, Roland Quandt has the Galaxy Z Flip FE coming with 8GB of memory and base storage of 128GB. The entry-level Galaxy Z Flip 6 features 12GB and 256GB, respectively. So why go through the trouble of scaling back some of the features on the well-regarded Galaxy Z Flip? Because Samsung's no longer the only game in town when it comes to the best foldable phones. Motorola has made a foldable flip phone of its own for years, and while early versions of the Motorola Razr were nothing to write home about, more recent models have surpassed Samsung's Flip. We currently rate the Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) as the best flip-style phone you can buy pending the release of the Galaxy Z Flip 7. But the $1,299 Ultra isn't your only foldable phone with Motorola. There are two other models — the $999 Motorola Razr Plus and $699 Motorola Razr — that both cost less than what Samsung is expected to charge for the Galaxy Z Flip 7. And the specs of those Motorola devices are pretty formidable. The Plus runs on a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 — not the most powerful chipset out there, but still a pretty recent piece of silicon. It offers a 4-inch cover display and a dedicated telephoto camera — two features you won't find on the more expensive Galaxy Z Flip 6. And while the standard Motorola Razr does make some significant compromises to get its cost down to $699, that's a remarkably low price for a phone with a foldable display that slips easily into your pocket. In other words, Motorola gives you options. People who want a premium device can pay up for the Ultra, while the $999 Razr Plus matches up surprisingly well against the Galaxy Z Flip 6. And if cost is important to you, the standard Razr lets you enjoy a foldable phone at a significant discount. That's a broad array of foldable options that Samsung likely feels it needs to address. Samsung's track record with its other FE phone offers a potential clue. The Galaxy S24 FE arrived last October, around nine months after the rest of the Galaxy S24 lineup went on sale. That's pretty typical of past FE versions of Galaxy S phones, as they tend to show up several months after their more expensive counterparts so as not to eat into sales. That would seem to suggest that Samsung might be inclined to let the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 enjoy their moment in the sun at Unpacked on July 9, and then launch an FE version of the Flip a few months from now. Twist my arm, and I would guess that would be Samsung's strategy. Still, rumors and renders don't generally spring up from a vacuum. The fact that there's this much chatter about an FE model — particularly from people with pretty strong reputations regarding unannounced Samsung products — suggests we could be in for a surprise at the next Unpacked. With less than two weeks to go before Samsung executives take the stage in New York, we won't have to wait long to find out just how many foldable devices the company plans to launch this summer and whether Samsung's foldables are about to get a more affordable option.

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.
