Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: A Comprehensive Preview
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, a highly anticipated clamshell foldable phone, is expected to launch alongside its sibling, the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Its existence has been confirmed, and we're already privy to a significant amount of information about its features and specifications. This article will serve as your comprehensive guide, regularly updated with the latest news, leaks, and rumors leading up to its release. Last updated: June 18, 2025
When Will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Be Released?
Samsung plans to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in the third quarter of 2025. Current predictions point towards a July release, potentially earlier in the month, rather than August. The launch event is rumored to take place in New York City, a shift from last year's Paris event. This aligns with the release schedules of the Galaxy Z Flip 5 and 6, both of which launched in July. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to debut alongside the Z Flip 7.
What Models Are Coming?
Rumors suggest the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 will offer 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and two storage options: 256GB and 512GB, utilizing UFS 4.0 flash storage. Unlike some previous models, expandable storage is not expected. While the Galaxy Z Flip 6 initially offered a 128GB model in some regions (but not the US), the Z Flip 7 may forgo the lower storage option entirely, focusing on 256GB as the base model. However, a 128GB option might still be available in specific markets.
How Much Will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Cost?
The price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is speculated to remain consistent with its predecessor. Based on rumors, the 256GB model may cost around $1,099 in the US, while the 512GB version could be priced at approximately $1,219. These prices are subject to regional variations. Some markets might experience a slight price increase, but a significant price jump is unlikely.
What Will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Look Like?
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7's design will largely resemble its predecessor, but with a notable difference. Exclusive CAD-based renders reveal a significant design change: a larger cover display that extends around the dual-camera system, similar to designs seen on Motorola's clamshell foldables. The rear cameras are horizontally arranged, with the LED flash positioned alongside. The bezels around the cover display appear slimmer than on the previous model. Below are images and a video showcasing the design:
Frame and Design Details
The phone's flat frame remains a key design element. The fingerprint scanner is integrated into the power button, located on the right side of the phone, along with the volume controls. The main display features a centered punch-hole camera, similar to its predecessor, although bezels may be slightly thinner. Unfolded, the phone is expected to measure 166.6 x 75.2 x 6.9mm (9.1mm with the camera bump). This is slightly taller and wider than the Galaxy Z Flip 6, but with similar thickness.
Larger Display
The increase in size is attributed to a larger display: a 6.8-inch main panel and a 3.6-inch cover display, compared to the 6.7-inch and 3.4-inch displays of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 respectively. This size increase will likely contribute to a slightly heavier device, though the exact weight is yet to be confirmed.
What Specs Will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Have?
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to be a powerful device. While rumors initially suggested the Exynos 2500 chip, current information indicates that this processor will be used in some regions, but not all. Interestingly, the US model is speculated to use the Exynos 2500 instead of the anticipated Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy.
Performance and Memory
The phone is rumored to feature a less visible crease, an improved hinge, and a larger vapor chamber for better thermal management. It will likely include 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, with 256GB and 512GB storage options. UFS 4.0 storage will be used, and expansion is not expected. The power-efficient displays, mentioned earlier, are also a significant upgrade.
Cameras and Battery
Significant camera upgrades are not anticipated. A 50-megapixel main camera paired with a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera is rumored, along with a 10-megapixel selfie camera. However, confirmation is needed. A larger 4,300mAh battery (potentially a 4,200mAh unit) is expected, compared to the 4,000mAh battery in the Galaxy Z Flip 6. This increased capacity is likely to offset the power consumption of the larger displays. Charging remains at 25W, according to 3C certifications, with Qi2 wireless charging support (without magnets).
The phone is rumored to launch in two color options: Blue Shadow and White Black.
Should You Wait to Buy the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7?
Based on current information, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might not be a groundbreaking upgrade over its predecessor. The design refinements are subtle, with the major improvements being under the hood. While it offers enhanced performance and larger displays, the overall user experience is likely to be quite similar. Even the camera hardware may not be noticeably different. Existing Galaxy Z Flip 6 users might not find enough justification for an upgrade. However, more details could emerge, potentially changing this assessment.
