July is just around the corner and if you follow technology news, you know that this is the month chosen by Samsung to launch its new foldable smartphones, smartwatches and more gadgets. This year, the new Galaxy z flip7 e Galaxy z fold7 arrive with some apparent visual changes, but they are also expected to be even lighter than their predecessors. Check out what is already known about the new foldable smartphones from Samsung. 6r3a6c
Galaxy z fold 7 3m6g57
Design 493g4d
The biggest change regarding the design of the Galaxy z fold6 when we quote the specifications of the Galaxy z fold7 is that it must be very similar to the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, released three months after the company's last foldable Samsung. That said, this model, launched exclusively in South Korea, should be the basis for the new fold7.
It is speculated that, when folded, the device will be just 8,6 mm thick, being 30% thinner than last year's model. Other rumors also indicate that this thickness could be even thinner, reaching just 8,2 mm. Such a feat, if confirmed, would make the Galaxy Z Fold7 the thinnest smartphone in the world when unfolded, as it would reach 4,1 mm and beat the Oppo Find N5 by 0,7 millimeters.
Such a thin thickness has an explanation: Samsung may be investing in using a titanium frame in its new, more robust foldable, something also seen in Galaxy Edge S25 e Galaxy s25 ultra. This also allows the model to have more curved edges, facilitating prolonged use during the day, especially when the Galaxy z fold7 is unfolded.
Also, since it has a titanium frame instead of aluminum, this would make the model an extremely light device. Despite this, only this rumor about the weight was available at the time of writing.
Screens (external and internal) pl1r
Still talking about the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, rumors say that it will also be the reference for the screens: the largest screen in the Galaxy z fold7 should measure 8,6 inches. For comparison, the 2024 model's external display, when unfolded, measures 7,6 inches.
A Samsung must take advantage of its technology ProScaler, debutant in the Galaxy S25 (S25+, S25 Ultra and S25 Edge) so that the day-to-day brightness adaptation is as good as possible. In practice, the ProScaler optimizes image quality by transforming low-resolution content into higher, sharper resolution. It's as if it takes a low-detail image or video and fills it with more pixels and information to make it appear sharper and more realistic.
Rumors also cite that the crease in the screen will now be even less apparent in the seventh generation of the Galaxy z fold, but it is not yet clear how this will work in everyday use. It is worth ing that there is a chance that the crease will not be visible, but this is something we will confirm when we have the model in hand.
Moving on to the smaller screen, this is another spec that can be inherited from the Z Fold Special Edition: It is expected to measure six inches. If this is confirmed, there will be no change in relation to the Galaxy z fold6 and, in fact, all screens can have a 120Hz refresh rate, Dynamic 2x AMOLED technology and peak brightness of up to 2.900 nits.

No surprises in this regard, the processor chosen to run all the features must be the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the same gift across the board Galaxy S25. This change, according to the Samsung, delivery 40% of gain for the NPU, 37% for U e 30% for GPU compared to processors found in devices from other brands.
O Galaxy z fold 7 probably will have 256 GB storage in the standard version, with options of 512 GB and 1 TB available for an additional cost. RAM must be 12 GB, the same as the Galaxy z fold 6. It would be interesting if the Samsung increase the maximum amount of RAM to 16 GB, but we'll see how this will be delivered in the final product.
System and interface 507155
This one must be the big step of Samsung with the launch of its foldable smartphones. Stronger rumors indicate that both new devices should leave the factory with Android 16 pre-installed, via One UI 8. Until last year, all smartphones followed the rule of having the same operating system as the models in the line Galaxy S, but that may have changed.
Little is known about the details of the One UI 8 (which is already in beta in some countries) but it should introduce some changes to the look of the operating system. This interface is based on the Android 16 do Google, which introduced a more minimalist aesthetic through the Material 3 Expressive.
Following the new policy of Samsung in updates, the model should be updated for up to seven years, going up to Android 23. And it is worth ing that the new Galaxy AI features, including the new features launched with the new Galaxy S25, should also be available, including greater integration with the applications present in the application.
Cameras 4c2g5w
When we start the topic of the new Galaxy z fold7 citing that the model was quite similar to the edition released in October, this also applies to the cameras. Regarding the rear cameras, the triple game is expected to be formed by a 200 MP main lens, accompanied by a 12 MP ultrawide lens and a 10 MP telephoto with for 3x optical zoom.
Regarding the screen present on the larger screen, it is not yet known whether there will be a change in relation to the 4 MP lens present since the Galaxy z fold3 And here's our vote of hope that this will happen. The lens on the external screen should also remain the same, being the same 10 MP one that can even take good photos, but still has some problems in low-light situations. Let's hope that software optimizations will solve this if a hardware upgrade doesn't happen.
Battery and charging 676o3i
About the battery… well, this is another factor that shouldn’t change even with a new release: rumors suggest that it should remain the same 4.400 mAh, the same as last year, also made of lithium. Despite the larger screen on the model, the more efficient processor should be enough for better battery life on a daily basis, but that's a topic for the review.
The main rumor about the Galaxy z fold 7 is that it will be Samsung's first foldable to the Qi2. However, it should come as “Qi2 Ready“, which means that the device will be compatible with the standard, but you will need a cover with integrated magnets to take advantage of Qi2's full magnetic alignment. Wireless charging is expected to continue at 15W.
Price and availability 3j3on
Pricing information has not yet reached the internet, but the international price of the device is expected to be above US$ 1.899 (R$ 10.770 in direct conversion) in its simplest version, with 256 GB and 12 GB of RAM. Samsung has been increasing the price of its larger-screen foldable for the past two years, and it wouldn't be a surprise if that were to increase in 2025 as well.
O Galaxy z fold6 began to be sold in Brazil from R$13.799, in gray and blue colors, with a black variant available for purchase on the official website Samsung. The model should be officially presented by the second week of July 2025, when the Korean company will hold the traditional Galaxy Unpacked of the second semester, as they have done in recent years.

After getting a 50MP main camera, it's hard to think how the Samsung It could still improve its foldable in the flip style. Early rumors cite that, instead of a more apparent visual change, the changes in the screen will be the biggest.
Similar to what we saw in other smartphones launched by Samsung This year, the new Galaxy Z Flip7 should have a new titanium casing and, despite being wider than the Galaxy Z Flip6, it should have the same thickness of 6,9 millimeters when unfolded and 14,9 millimeters when folded.
The external look should remain the same as we have seen in recent years: a flip model with more prominent cameras on the external screen and vibrant colors. The 2025 model should have variants in blue, green, maybe silver or white. The weight shouldn't change much either.
Screens (external and internal) pl1r
A big change in the model is in its screens: starting with the external screen, the new version of the Samsung now it seems to be closer to what we see in the Motorola Razr, with the entire external screen completely used. With this, the screen now has 4 inches, a gain of 0,4 inches compared to the Galaxy z flip6.
The internal screen should also be larger, reaching 6,85 inches. The 2024 model had 6,7 inches, which was already great, so let's see if the good visual experience continues in the 2025 models. The refresh rate shouldn't undergo any significant changes: 60Hz on the smaller screen and 120Hz on the larger screen.
It is not yet known whether the Samsung would allow full access to the operating system on the external screen, something that Motorola already does. The Korean company seems to be waiting for the right moment to do this and thus avoid incompatibility errors. Let's wait and see.
Processor 6j5h1a
The latest information and benchmark leaks indicate that the Exynos 2500 will power the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in many markets, including South Korea and India. This would be Samsung's first foldable to use an Exynos chip. It is not yet known whether this processor would be present in the regular model or in a possible Galaxy Z Flip7 FE.
The Exynos 2500 is expected to feature a 10-core U configuration and a Samsung Xclipse 950 GPU based on AMD's RDNA 3.5 architecture, plus an NPU for AI tasks. Preliminary tests on the Geekbench revealed scores of 2012 in single-core and 7563 in multi-core.
It seems that Samsung may be planning a split chip strategy, something that is already common in its other smartphone lines. Samsung has a history of using different processors in its smartphones depending on the region, and this strategy in the Z Flip 7 may have a few objectives:
- Bargaining power: Having an in-house alternative strengthens Samsung's position in future negotiations with Qualcomm.
- Test and validate your own chips: Adopting the Exynos 2500 in a foldable would be a way for Samsung to demonstrate its ability to develop and manufacture high-performance chipsets for this category.
- Cost reduction: Producing chips in-house can lower manufacturing costs and increase profit margins.
However, there is also strong evidence that the Snapdragon 8 Elite will be the processor for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in other regions, such as the United States and possibly China and Japan. This decision may be related to performance optimization and thermal management, as the Snapdragon 8 Elite has been pointed out as superior to the Exynos 2500 in some benchmarks. It is not yet known which processor will be chosen for launch in Brazil.
System and interface 507155
There are strong indications that the device will be launched directly with the Android 16 pre-installed, running under Samsung's custom interface, the One UI 8. This ensures that the device comes with the latest features and optimizations from Google's operating system from day one.
A One UI 8, in turn, will complement Android 16 with optimizations for foldable screens, improvements in multitasking and enhanced functionality for Flex mode. Advances in Galaxy AI will also be even more integrated, offering intelligent features for everyday life. The possibly larger external screen will also receive new features and widgets, making it even more useful.
Cameras 4c2g5w
For the cameras of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7, Expectations and rumors do not point to major revolutions in of hardware, but rather to the maintenance of an already known configuration, with possible improvements in image processing and AI features. Most leaks and analyses suggest that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will maintain the same camera set as its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 6:
- Main Camera: 50 SM
- Ultra-wide camera: 12 SM
- Front Camera (Selfie): 10 SM
While the megapixel numbers may remain the same, that doesn't necessarily mean there won't be improvements. The Samsung can focus on optimizations that directly impact photo quality.
Battery and charging 676o3i
Recent rumors and certifications suggest that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will have a larger battery capacity compared to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Flip 6, which has 4.000 mAh. The most consistent information suggests that the new model could reach 4.300 mAh or even 4.400 mAh.
An increase from 300 to 400 mAh may seem modest compared to traditional smartphones, but for the Flip line. Combined with the more efficient processors (Exynos 2500 ou Snapdragon 8 Elite), which tend to better manage power consumption, and the software optimizations of Android 16 and One UI 8, this greater battery capacity should translate into noticeably better autonomy, allowing s to enjoy the device for longer without worrying about recharging.
Price and availability 3j3on
One of the strongest rumors is the possibility of launching a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE (Fan Edition). This “low-cost” model would be a strategy by Samsung to democratize foldable technology, making it accessible to a wider audience. The model would compete with the Motorola Razr 60.
Rumors indicate that it could inherit features from the Z Flip 6, such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Exynos 2400e processor and a 4.000 mAh battery, with an international starting price of around US$ 799. In Brazil, projections point to a value below BRL 6.500.
It is estimated that Galaxy z flip 7 have an initial market price of approximately US$ 1.099 (R$ 6.235 in direct conversion). To contextualize, the Galaxy z flip 6 had a suggested starting price of R$7.999 in Brazil in July 2024.
Both new Galaxy z flip7 e Flip7 FE must also be presented in the Galaxy Unpacked of July, scheduled to take place until the second week of the month.
