Seoul, June 10: Samsung Electronics has officially teased its upcoming flagship foldable smartphone — the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 — claiming it will be the slimmest, lightest, and most advanced foldable phone ever created by the company.
The teaser, released across Samsung’s global social media platforms and website, provides a silhouette of the new foldable device, sparking excitement among tech enthusiasts and industry analysts. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to debut at the Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 2025.
According to reports from sources close to the development, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will feature significant design improvements, including a waterdrop-style hinge that allows the device to fold flatter, reducing overall thickness. It is also expected to weigh noticeably less than its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 5, thanks to the use of lightweight titanium frames and ultra-slim components.
Performance-wise, the smartphone is rumored to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, with configurations offering up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. Enhanced AI capabilities under the banner of Galaxy AI are also anticipated, supporting features such as live translation, smarter multitasking, and advanced image processing.
Camera upgrades are expected, including a refined under-display front camera and a rear camera system that may rival Samsung’s Galaxy S series. The device will reportedly retain S Pen support, making it appealing for users focused on productivity and creative tasks.
In the broader market context, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will face stiff competition from devices like the Google Pixel Fold, OnePlus Open, and Honor Magic V2. However, Samsung remains the market leader in the foldable segment and aims to retain its dominance with this latest iteration.
Industry analysts predict the global foldable smartphone market will surpass 50 million units in annual sales by 2026, with Samsung playing a pivotal role in shaping this growth trend. The Z Fold 7, if successful, could be instrumental in driving further adoption of foldable technology among mainstream users.
While Samsung has not yet disclosed the pricing, experts suggest it will remain in the ultra-premium category, with potential enhancements justifying a slightly higher price point than the Z Fold 5.
With its focus on portability, performance, and advanced AI integration, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is poised to set a new benchmark in the rapidly evolving foldable smartphone space.
