Galaxy Z Flip 7 may quietly join the wireless charging elite
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will reportedly join the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in supporting a new wireless charging standard, just like the Galaxy S25 series.
Recently, we found out that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will feature Qi2 Ready wireless charging, marking the first time Samsung has equipped its foldables with this new technology. Now, another listing reveals that the Z Fold 7 won't be unique in this regard.
Samsung seems to be preparing Qi2 support for the clamshell Galaxy Z Flip 7 as well. It's worth noting that the South Korean tech giant is yet to adopt proper Qi2 because it requires magnets for charger alignment and accessories (think MagSafe in newer iPhones). However, the company is supporting a new version of the standard, which is Qi 2.1.

Qi 2.1 allows for "approved" cases to add the magnets without the magnets being included in the phone itself. The Galaxy S25 series was the first from Samsung to bring this technology. Now, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will likely support it too. The info comes again from a listing from the Wireless Power Consortium or WPC, which is the same way we found out about the Galaxy Z Fold 7 . The listing notes the Galaxy Z Flip 7 as SM-A846U, which is an unusual model number, probably used to disguise that this is the Flip (the same occurred with the Fold). We know it's the Flip though as previously, the Z Flip 5 was listed as SM-A822D.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 are expected to be officially unveiled in 'early July'. We've recently had their key details leaked, and almost everything there is to know about them is out of the bag now.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 may feature more or less the same design as its predecessor, with one difference of a slightly bigger cover display. Unfortunately for some markets, the Flip may come with an Exynos chip, which is expected to be weaker than the Snapdragon version (the 8 Elite for Galaxy), which will reportedly be reserved for the U.S. version of the clamshell phone.

Save up to an overwhelming $500 on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra at Best Buy right now!
Is the 2023-released Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra still worth taking into consideration in 2025? Well, why not? After all, the Tab S11 Ultra hasn't been unveiled yet (and I highly doubt it will go official at the next big Unpacked event in a couple of weeks), and last year's Tab S10 Ultra is not that much better than its predecessor. It is however significantly pricier, normally costing $1,200 and up and rarely dropping below the $999.99 mark in an entry-level 256GB storage configuration. The Tab S9 Ultra , meanwhile, can be had for as little as $699.99 if you hurry... and don't have a problem meeting a pretty simple special requirement. $500 off (42%) Wi-Fi Only, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Processor, 14.6-Inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display with 2960 x 1848 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, IP68 Water and Dust Resistance, AKG Tuned Quad Speakers with Dolby Atmos Support, 13 + 8MP Dual Rear-Facing Camera System, 12 +12MP Dual Front-Facing Cameras, 11,200mAh Battery with 45W Charging Capabilities, Graphite Color, S Pen Included, My Best Buy Plus or Total Membership Required ($400 Discount Available Without Membership) Buy at BestBuy We're talking about an obligatory My Best Buy Plus or My Best Buy Total membership, the former of which only costs $49.99 a year while giving you full access to many exclusive deals like this one and the Google Pixel Tablet promotion I literally just told you about. If you find this condition too inconvenient, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-powered Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra can still be yours for $799.99 after an instant $400 discount from a $1,199.99 list price with absolutely no strings attached. Despite its advanced age, the S Pen-wielding 14.6-inch colossus on sale here delivers undeniably amazing bang for your 700 or 800 bucks. That Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen is just as sharp as it is massive, mind you, the battery is fittingly large and thus guaranteed to keep the Tab S9 Ultra going all day between fast 45W charges, not to mention the super-premium design with a robust combination of aluminum and glass materials and a razor-thin 5.5mm profile. The much more expensive Tab S10 Ultra, in case you're wondering, looks almost identical to this deeply discounted bad boy on the outside while packing an only slightly more powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chip under its hood. Virtually no other key specs have been changed by Samsung for its flagship tablet between 2023 and 2024, making the older generation a no-brainer purchase at its drastically reduced new price.
