Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is in the news once again and new hands-on images have appeared online just before its launch on July 9. The much-anticipated folding device will launch alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 at Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Unpacked.
The newest leak gives us a look at the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 in the gorgeous Blue Shadow colour option. Posted by tipster Jukan Choi over on X (formerly Twitter), the live hands-on shots showcase the general design of the new foldable, giving us our best look yet at the incoming book-style flagship.
Leaks and renders have now surfaced, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 seems to bring small but significant changes compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 6. The triple rear-camera array remains, but it drops the independent lens rings for a cleaner, more cohesive look.
One of the most hotly anticipated improvements is the inner display, now free of creases. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 looks like it lays flush when it’s being opened, without any crunch from the hinge — you can tell the hinge mechanism is much more refined. The new design is also noticeably slimmer now than before, coming in at 8.9mm folded and 4.2mm unfolded – much thinner than the Z Fold 6’s 12.1mm when unfolded, and 5.6mm when folded.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rumored to come in Jet Black and Silver Shadow as well as Blue Shadow. The storage may come in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB options, depending on the different needs of consumers.
In Europe, the price is set for the 256GB storage option starting at EUR 2,227.71 (roughly Rs. 2,23,000), whereas the 512GB storage model is priced at EUR 2,309.03 (roughly Rs. 2,31,100). If these leaks are accurate, it sounds like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be a high-end device with a similarly high-end price.
Inside the foldable is believed to be an 8-inch main display with a 6.5-inch outer screen. It may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, which is flagship-grade performance, but designed for foldables. The phone could also have an aluminum frame as well as a ceramic glass back for added strength and appearance.
Another reported feature from the leak is that the SIM card slot would be located on the side panel slimmer than the existing Blackberry design, thereby indicating better ergonomics and user interaction.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is getting ready for a big launch – and hopes are high. These fresh live shots showing off the design improvements that enhance the quality of the construction could mean that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 could become the gold standard for foldable smartphones.
Fans and fans of tech won’t have to wait too long to learn the answer—Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event arrives very soon, and it should bring its own surprises to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 party.
