The long-awaited Galaxy Z Flip 7 has just turned up in a unexpected way — in a hands-on video of the foldable phone in the flesh, turned on and spinning on its stand captured from all angles. The device, which should be officially announced on July 10, broke cover when a quick video appeared on X (formerly Twitter) and was promptly removed. But once something is on the internet, it’s almost impossible to get rid of completely — and in this instance, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 video is back.
Posted first by the leaker @andrei_eclynoh, the minute-long clip offers our first proper look at the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Samsung’s upcoming foldable. It teases seeing the phone powering up, its sleek design as well as both of its displays in action. This video comes after a lone image was leaked earlier, and now we can verify that that was indeed a leaked look at HTC’s new handset.
In the footage, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is seen being held and unfolded from several different positions. The build is slim, the hinge well-hidden and there’s almost no visible crease on the main foldable display – which is undiscoverable, and therefore a commendable achievement for a premium foldable in 2025. Samsung has evidently honed the design since the Flip 6.
The 4-inch external display boasts slim bezels and the ability to fit four widgets at a time. Although the hands-on video doesn’t verify if the external screen can run full Android apps (like the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra does), is does tease that the cover display experience might be more useful this time around.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 looks to keep that uncluttered foldable design language while maximising display finesse and efficacy. The boot-up animations are silky-smooth, and if the video can be believed, there’s the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor humming away in the background (though that hasn’t been confirmed as yet).
It’s also worth pointing out that this Galaxy Z Flip 7 in question is probably a pre-release version that is not intended for general use yet — or even necessarily made to be tested by the general public. The very fact that Samsung (or perhaps Google) acted so speedily in getting the original video removed gives further credence to its authenticity.
Yet the Galaxy Z Flip 7 remains a hot topic on tech forums, social apps and news sites. Leaving aside Samsung’s upcoming official Galaxy Unpacked event focused on the Z Flip, this video leak provides the best look yet at what to expect.
From the near crease-free foldable display to the sleek square-shaped cover display, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 appears to be a refined iteration of its predecessor.
