Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, set to debut at the July 9 Unpacked event, has surfaced in leaks showcasing a sleeker 8.9mm folded design and a powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.

Galaxy Z Fold 7: Leaked Details Point to Major Upgrades
Slimmer and Lighter Design
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is poised to be Samsung’s thinnest foldable yet, measuring 8.9mm when folded and 4.2mm when unfolded, a significant reduction from the Fold 6’s 12.1mm folded and 5.6mm unfolded. At just 216 grams, it’s lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, enhancing portability. Leaked hands-on images confirm a sleek Blue Shadow variant, with a refined aluminum frame and glass ceramic back.
Larger, Crease-Free Displays
The device is expected to feature a 6.5-inch cover screen and an 8-inch inner display, both Dynamic AMOLED, offering a more immersive experience. Leaks suggest a near crease-free inner screen, addressing a long-standing issue in foldables. An under-display camera is likely retained, despite rumors of a hole-punch design.
Powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Chipset
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 will reportedly be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, delivering top-tier performance for multitasking and demanding apps. It’s expected to come with 12GB or 16GB RAM and storage options of 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB in select regions.
Enhanced Camera System
A 200MP primary camera is rumored, a significant leap from the Fold 6’s 50MP sensor, promising superior photo quality. The triple rear camera setup, vertically aligned, maintains a familiar layout but with thinner black borders for a polished look.
Battery and Charging
The Fold 7 is said to retain the 4,400mAh battery of its predecessor, with some sources suggesting a potential upgrade to 45W fast charging from the previous 25W. However, this is smaller than competitors like Honor’s Magic V5 (5,820mAh), raising questions about battery life.
One UI 8 and Ergonomics
Running One UI 8 out of the box, the Fold 7 is expected to offer smoother animations and AI-powered features like adaptive lock screen clocks. Improved hinge mechanics and ergonomics enhance one-handed usability, making it more practical for daily use.
S Pen Uncertainty
Leaks indicate the Fold 7 may drop S Pen support to achieve its slim profile, as the digitizer adds thickness. No S Pen cases have been spotted in promotional materials, raising doubts about stylus compatibility.
Price Hike in India
According to tipster Yogesh Brar, the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s price in India may start at Rs 1,75,999, a Rs 10,000 increase over the Fold 6, reflecting its premium upgrades. Pre-orders are expected to begin July 9, with e-vouchers offered.
