SamMobile reports that Samsung has already trademarked the Z Flip 7 name, indicating that the phone is part of their product roadmap.
This launch is likely to be a highlight of Samsung’s major annual Summer Unpacked event, where they unveil the latest models in their flagship lines, including the Z Flip and Z Fold series.
How much will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 cost?
According to Android Headlines, the pricing of the Z Flip 7 will remain the same as the Z Flip 6 in the US.
This translates to a starting price of $1,099, though the UK price of £1,049 may or may not change.
Expect to see higher-priced configurations as well.

Rumors also suggest a more budget-friendly model, the Galaxy Z Flip FE (Fan Edition), with slightly lower performance to cater to a more affordable price point.
What specs and features will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 have?
Design
According to KED Global, Samsung’s mobile division is aiming to create a foldable phone as slim as the Galaxy S series, with a thickness close to 8.4mm when closed. However, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to be 6.9mm thick when open, similar to the Z Flip 6.
CAD renders show a device with a familiar foldable clamshell design, with potential improvements in the hinge mechanism for added durability.
Display
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 may introduce PHOLED (Phosphorescent OLED) technology for improved power efficiency compared to current AMOLED displays.

The cover and inner displays are expected to be slightly larger, with rumors suggesting improvements in the crease visibility and overall display quality.
Performance
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 could be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset for enhanced performance and energy efficiency.
Alternatively, rumors suggest the phone may feature the Exynos 2500 processor, offering a 10-core CPU and an Xclipse 950 GPU based on AMD RDNA architecture.
Production of the Exynos 2500 is expected to start in early 2025, aligning with Samsung’s smartphone production targets for the year.

Whichever chipset the Galaxy Z Flip 7 ends up with, expect it to be paired with ample RAM and storage options.
Cameras
Rumors suggest the Galaxy Z Flip 7 may feature a third rear camera, possibly a telephoto lens, for enhanced photography capabilities.
However, other reports indicate that the phone may stick with the main and ultrawide cameras from previous models.

The primary camera has already seen an upgrade to a 50Mp sensor in the Z Flip 6, so we can expect further improvements in image quality.
Battery & Charging
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is likely to retain the 4000mAh battery and 25W fast charging of its predecessor, with potential enhancements in power efficiency due to PHOLED technology.
