Leaked images circulating online, notably from tipster @Jukanlosreve, show a much slimmer and more polished Z Fold 7. 

The device reportedly measures just 4.2mm when open and 8.9mm folded, slimmer than any Galaxy Fold released so far, and thinner than its immediate predecessor, the Z Fold 6. 

This places Samsung in a head-to-head race with Chinese brands like Honor and Oppo, whose ultra-thin foldables have dominated the segment in recent months.

Samsung Accidentally Confirms Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 Names via App Listing

In the leaked photographs, the Fold 7’s SIM tray appears to hug the frame tightly, hinting at the extremely compact internal design. The speaker grilles and microphone placements also suggest Samsung has optimised every inch of the chassis. 

One of the most interesting changes is the rear camera layout; gone are the chunky black rings seen on the Fold 6. In their place are sleeker silver rings that encircle each lens, an aesthetic choice that complements a striking new blue colour option dubbed “Blue Shadow”.

According to documentation from the EU’s smartphone product label, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will deliver 40 hours and 28 minutes of battery life per charge and maintain 80% battery health after 2,000 cycles. 

It’s been assigned an IP48 rating, making it resistant to water immersion, though still vulnerable to dust, and given a Class A drop resistance score. Repairability, however, is rated Class C, pointing to the fact that fixing it won’t be especially easy or cheap, which is still a common issue for foldable devices.

Internally, the Fold 7 is expected to come with upgraded displays: an 8-inch inner screen and a 6.5-inch cover screen, both slightly larger than those on the Fold 6. Rumours are swirling that a 200MP main camera sensor may be onboard, the same one featured in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, although Samsung has not confirmed this.

Software-wise, the Fold 7 will launch with One UI 7 built on Android 15. Samsung plans to expand its integration of AI capabilities with this device, including tools for real-time translation, smart note summarisation, and multitasking enhancements. In some markets, the device may ship with a bundled Google AI Pro subscription.

This year’s Unpacked event won’t stop with the Fold 7. Samsung is also tipped to unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 7, a new Watch 8 series, and potentially the company’s first tri-fold device, a prototype that may be branded the Galaxy G Fold. Updates on Project Moohan, Samsung’s XR headset collaboration with Google, are also expected.

The Korean tech giant appears to be betting big on its foldable devices in 2025. With leaks laying bare nearly every detail, the only surprises left may be in the price and availability.

This didn’t come from leaks or tech analysts this time; the company itself gave it away.

In an apparent oversight, the beta version of Samsung’s Internet Browser app was listed with explicit mention of support for the “Fold7 and Flip7”. 

This listing, spotted by GalaxyClub, remains visible in the Galaxy Store at the time of reporting. Although the company has not officially announced the devices, this accidental reveal leaves little to imagination.

I verified that the listing appears when using a Galaxy device running One UI 8, currently in beta and only available on the Galaxy S25 series. Anyone on older software simply won’t see it. This means the leak was hidden in plain sight, visible only to users who knew where (and how) to look.

Interestingly, there’s no indication that this browser version is functionally different from the one used on existing devices. It’s likely the browser has been optimised for the Fold 7 and Flip 7 display formats, but technically it remains version 28.0.2.43, the same as its standard counterpart. We don’t know if these upcoming phones ship with unique browser features.

This also confirms, in practical terms, that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 will launch with Android 16 and One UI 8 pre-installed. That had been speculated for some time, but the app listing now settles the matter.

What about the long-rumoured Fold Ultra or the cheaper Flip FE? Samsung did tease a device bearing the “Ultra” name recently, leading to speculation about a premium foldable model. But there’s nothing in the Galaxy Store listing that supports the existence of such a device. It appears, for now, that “Ultra” might have been just marketing noise.

At this point, we can expect at least two models, the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, at Samsung’s next Unpacked event. Sources suggest the event is scheduled for early July and might take place in New York, but there’s still no official word from Samsung.

As for the tri-fold model rumoured for later in the year? We’ve heard whispers that it might be launched exclusively in South Korea and China, but at this stage, nothing is confirmed.
