The tech world is abuzz with excitement as leaks and reports suggest that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be a significant improvement over its predecessor, boasting a dramatic reduction in thickness.
According to the latest information, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will measure approximately 8.9 mm thick when folded and just 4.2–4.5 mm thick when unfolded. This is a significant reduction compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which is about 12.1 mm thick when folded and 5.6 mm thick when unfolded.
The comparison is summarised in the table below:
| Model | Folded Thickness | Unfolded Thickness | |-----------------|------------------|--------------------| | Galaxy Z Fold 6 | 12.1 mm | 5.6 mm | | Galaxy Z Fold 7 | 8.9 mm | 4.2–4.5 mm |
The Galaxy Z Fold 7's thin profile is one of its biggest advancements, making it one of the slimmest flagship foldables on the market.
Rumours also suggest that the Fold 7 might not see a battery upgrade, with a 4,400mAh battery setup still in place. The device is expected to be unveiled at Samsung's Unpacked event scheduled for July 9.
The Fold 7's design is reported to feature shiny, silver rings around its camera lenses instead of black rings, a change that adds a touch of elegance to the device. The device appears much thinner than the Fold 6 series in the leaked images.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rumoured to weigh around 215 grams, around 24 grams lighter than the Fold 6. In some markets, the Galaxy Z Fold 7's price might remain similar to its 2024 model, while in the U.S., there could be a major 30-40% increase in the price.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7, Samsung's other upcoming foldable, is also expected to be priced around $1,099. Phone deals for both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are available at Best Buy, Walmart, Samsung, Amazon, Verizon, and AT&T.
The Fold 7's SIM tray takes up all the available space, in contrast to the bit of wiggle room it had on the Fold 6. The Fold 7's sleeker design is a testament to Samsung's efforts to inched toward a much thinner, sleeker Fold 7 compared to its previous editions.
