Galaxy Z Fold 7 renders leak — and it looks like Samsung's fixed two big problems
Our best look yet at the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has just been provided by Android Headlines and OnLeaks, who have published allegedly official renders of Samsung's next big foldable phone. One of the most interesting changes visible in these renders is a punch-hole camera on the inner display. The last time Samsung had one of these on a Z Fold's main screen was the Galaxy Z Fold 2, with every subsequent Z Fold, including the current Galaxy Z Fold 6 using an under-display camera. Having a hidden camera in the display is quite the technological feat. But it usually means a drop in image quality from that camera having to shoot through layers of the display. With Samsung using only a tiny 4MP sensor, this problem was made even worse. A move back to a punch-hole in the main display should not impact its usability, but will hopefully make the camera more useful for selfies or video calls again. The renders also seem to demonstrate the changes Samsung is tipped to be making to the Galaxy Z Fold 7's body. The new foldable is said to be slimmer and lighter but also wider than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, giving the phone more screen space while also making it easier to handle. As a result, the outer display is apparently going to be 6.5 inches in size, compared to the 6.3-inch one on the Z Fold 6. The Z Fold 7's inner display meanwhile is thought to be 8.2 inches, another increase in size from the Z Fold 6's 7.6-inch panel. The two colors we see in these renders are apparently called Blue Shadow and Jet Black. Other colors will be available according to AH, although it doesn't provide any further information.

While it hasn't identified the device by name, it has published a number of teasers hinting at an Ultra-grade experience for its next foldable. Samsung hasn't given us a launch date yet, but it looks like the Z Fold 7, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Watch 8 could arrive on July 9 at a new Galaxy Unpacked showcase. If the upgrades seemingly on show in these renders are indeed made to the Galaxy Z Fold 7, it could be enough to put Samsung back on top of our best foldable phones guide after years of stagnation. But we'll save our proper impressions for when the facts are confirmed, and after we've had hands-on time with the new foldable.

Samsung Galaxy Unpacked likely on July 9: What to expect from foldables
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event, where the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, and Galaxy Watch 8 series are expected to debut, will likely happen in the second week of July. According to a report by 9To5Google, the event is expected to be held on July 9 at 10 am ET (07:30 pm IST). As per the report, the South Korean consumer electronics manufacturer is also expected to preview its Android XR-based Project Moohan headset at the event. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: What to expect Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7 soon, promising its thinnest, lightest, and most durable foldable yet. As per a report by 9To5Google, the Z Fold 7 might measure 9mm when folded and 4.54mm when unfolded—significantly slimmer than its predecessor. The Z Fold 7 is also expected to feature deeper Galaxy AI integration, voice-enabled controls, and system-wide enhancements. Samsung's teasers have sparked speculation of an 'Ultra' variant—a first for the Fold series—hinting at a more premium model with advanced capabilities. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7: What to expect Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 with its in-house Exynos 2500 chip—marking the first time a foldable in the Galaxy Z series may move away from Qualcomm's Snapdragon. According to 9To5Google, this shift would align with Samsung's dual-chip strategy seen in its S-series flagships. Deeper Gemini integration is expected to be applicable with Flip 7, too. As per TomsGuide, the Flip 7 will likely feature software-based camera improvements, a larger 4-inch cover display, and new case designs. The camera hardware may remain unchanged, but upgrades via the ProVisual Engine are expected to enhance image quality. Android Central adds that Samsung could make the folding crease less visible and improve display efficiency by using blue phosphorescent material in the OLED panel. The company may also introduce a more affordable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, offering a budget-friendly option with slightly toned-down specs. While not a major redesign, the Z Flip 7 is shaping up to be a refined update with better performance, usability, and possibly broader accessibility. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: What to expect Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy Watch 8 series will debut with Gemini AI integration and new Samsung Health features, including a vascular load metric and a personal AI health coach. These updates aim to provide real-time insights and personalised guidance to users looking to manage their wellness more proactively. As reported by Android Central, the line-up will include six models, with the Watch 8 Classic expected to sport a squircle design and rotating bezel. The series may continue with the Exynos W1000 chip, 2GB of RAM, and AMOLED displays with up to 2,000 nits brightness. Running on One UI 8 Watch, the new wearables are likely to offer features like adaptive charging, watch face shuffle, and gesture-powered access to the Now Bar. Health tracking will remain a core focus, with support for the antioxidant index and other advanced metrics via Samsung's upgraded BioActive Sensor. Blood glucose monitoring, while in development, may not yet be ready for this generation. What is Project Moohan? Samsung unveiled its Project Moohan headset at Mobile World Congress earlier this year, confirming that the device will feature multimodal AI for natural voice and visual interactions. While full details remain under wraps, The Elec reports it will run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2 Plus Gen 2 chip and include 1.3-inch 4K OLEDoS displays by Sony with a sharp 3,800ppi pixel density. It is also expected to support pass-through viewing, akin to Apple's Vision Pro. Running on Android XR, the headset will allow access to mobile apps via the Play Store and feature Google-optimised experiences like YouTube, Google Maps, and 3D Google Photos. A key highlight is its deep Gemini AI integration, enabling real-time assistance, contextual controls, and AI-powered workflows—all designed to position Project Moohan as a versatile, next-gen XR device.

Massive Samsung leak tips Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 features — here's what we could see at Unpacked
Samsung's next foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, are likely to launch in the next month. With that leaks and rumors are still popping up sharing new claims about what we can expect from the Korean tech giant. While it's not specifically a list of specs, regular tipster PandaFlashPro posted on X a number of features that Samsung might showcase during the expect July Galaxy Unpacked event. Read on for five things Samsung could highlight next month from an improved camera to better AI. Apparently, Samsung is going to spend a good chunk of the next Unpacked discussing Google's Gemini AI model and how it integrates with the Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. One of the highlights could be "Gemini Live," which lets you speak with the chatbot. You can also use your camera to "see" things or images and files as prompts for Gemini. Gemini and Gemini Live already exist for Pixel phones and in some manner on the Galaxy S25 series. It's possibly we could see new Gemini tools built-in to Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7. If nothing new is announced than we expect Samsung will likely pitch how well Gemini Live should work on its foldable phones. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Additionally, the leaker claims Samsung will highlight Galaxy AI generative edits and Now Brief, introduced in One UI 7 that sends you personalized notifications throughout the day. According to PandaFlash, Samsung won't be sharing too much about the camera set up on the new phones. However, they do note that there will be a 200MP main camera that Samsung should highlight. This does align with previous rumors that the Z Fold 7 will get the same 200MP lens as the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition. That's a major upgrade over the 50MP camera in the Z Fold 6. Alongside a new camera, Samsung will apparently discuss a next generation Pro-Visual engine and "log video." It's not clear if this is an update to the suite of AI tools that enables things like zooms at night and making sharper images. Samsung has highlighted how much thinner and lighter its phones are this year and the foldables will not be an exception. The company should also discuss the "all-new" ultra-thin glass used in the display. Earlier this month, Samsung promised, "the thinnest, lightest and most advanced foldable yet." Like the Z Fold 6 compared to its predecessor, the Z Fold 7 should come with a larger 8-inch foldable display, plus a 6.5-inch cover screen. That would be the second year in a row that the company has increased the size of the foldable. Late last week, regular Samsung leaker Ice Universe posted on Weibo that the Z Fold 7 will weigh 215 grams (or about 7.5 oz) which is about 3 grams less than Galaxy S25 Ultra (or one ounce less). That weight should be more noticeable compared to the Z Fold 6, which weighs 8.4 oz (239 grams). There are different rumors about the actual thinness of the Z Fold 7 with some claiming it will be 4.5mm when unfolded. However, different reports suggest the phone will be even slimmer at 3.9mm. According to PandaFlash, don't expect much from Samsung regarding the clamshell foldable Z Flip 7. They said that the Samsung will only mention improved photo quality, a larger cover display and new cases. We've seen rumors that the Flip 7 could have the same cameras as those in the Z Flip 6. So any improvements will likely come from the upgraded ProVisual engine and other software updates. We have seen rumors that the main screen will increase slightly in size with the cover display leaping from 3.4 inches to 4 inches. Which would fit with new cases being announced to properly cover the larger phone. Last week, a rumor popped up that Samsung would show Project Moohan at the next Galaxy Unpacked, but not launch the XR headset. Since revealing the Android XR based headset in January, Samsung has repeatedly shown off Moohan at various other tech conferences this year. So, it's no real surprise that Samsung would have Moohan at its own event. The difference, we're hoping, is that the company finally shares more concrete details about the device. While we've gone heads-on, Samsung has been pretty mum on new details. We don't have a date yet, but all signs point to Samsung keeping its usual July launch window for its foldable phones.
