FULL STORY ====================================================================== The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 could be one of the best-selling foldable phones of 2025 going by past form, as Samsungs foldable flip phones combine a compact form factor with a more reasonable price than its Z Fold line, making them a popular choice. So will this trend continue into 2025? Well, nothing about the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 has been confirmed just yet, but it sure is starting to leak. So below, youll find all the news, leaks, and rumors weve heard about this foldable contender so far. Well also update this article whenever any new rumors emerge, so make sure to check back soon if you want to stay informed. Cut to the chase What is it? The next clamshell foldable from Samsung When is it out? Probably July How much will it cost? Likely upwards of $1,099.99 / 1,049 / AU$1,799 Look out for it in July The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future) Based on past form it will probably launch in July Could cost the same as last year Our best guess for when the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 will launch is July, as the previous two models had July announcements, and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 also shipped in July. That said, the Galaxy Z Flip 5 shipped in August of its release year, and the Z Flip 4 wasnt even announced until August. Still, if not July then well probably see the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 in August. There isnt much in the way of release date rumors yet, but @PandaFlashPro has claimed that production of Samsungs upcoming foldables will start in May, which probably works for a July or August announcement. And sources have also spotted both a Galaxy Z Flip 7 codename (specifically B7) and a Galaxy Z Flip 7 model number (SM-F751), which at the very least suggests that this phone is in the works. Weve also heard that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 might have the same starting price as the Galaxy Z Flip 6. That would mean a starting price of $1,099.99 / 1,049 / AU$1,799. Can you trust these rumors? The source that claims production will start in May and prices will be unchanged doesnt have much of a track record, so wed take this with a pinch of salt. Either way though, wed think a launch in July or August is likely. Bigger screens and a better hinge The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 (Image credit: Future / Axel Metz) The Galaxy Z Flip 7 might have bigger screens than its predecessor It could also have a better hinge mechanism We dont have to rely purely on rumors when it comes to the design of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, as Samsung itself has said during an earnings call (via @Jukanlosreve ) that this year we will release new foldable products with improved form factors, durability, so while the Z Flip 7 wasnt named, its likely one of the devices the company is referring to. Beyond that, weve heard that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might have bigger screens than its predecessor, with a source claiming the foldable display will be 6.85 inches (up from 6.7 inches), and the cover screen will be around 4 inches (up from 3.4 inches). Also on the design front, leaker @PandaFlashPro claims that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7s hinge mechanism will be more smooth and durable, and that the button placement will be the same as last year. Can you trust these rumors? So far, the design leaks all only come from one source each, so wed take them with a dose of skepticism. Though the claims of larger screens come from a source with a good track record, so that much may well be true. If nothing else though, Samsungs own comments strongly suggest well see some changes to the design. Copying the cameras The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future) The cameras might not get an upgrade That would mean a 50MP main, 12MP ultra-wide, and 10MP selfie camera Theres only one Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 camera leak so far and its not a very promising one, as apparently this phone will have exactly the same cameras as the Z Flip 6. That would mean a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide one, and a 10MP front-facing one. If so, that would be rather disappointing, so we hope that subsequent camera leaks will disagree with this. Still, if nothing else the software will probably be improved, and wed expect to see new AI photography tools too. Can you trust these rumors? As weve only heard camera claims from one source so far, wed take them with a pinch of salt. That said, its believable that Samsung wouldnt improve the cameras, especially as the Samsung Galaxy S25 s cameras werent upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy S24s. An Exynos chipset and no change to RAM The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 (Image credit: Philip Berne / Future) Likely to use an Exynos 2500 chipset May match its predecessor's RAM and storage Theres potentially bad news when it comes to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7s chipset, as according to one rumor, it will have an Exynos 2500 . Thats set to be Samsungs most powerful in-house smartphone chipset of 2025, and is almost certainly going to outperform the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 used by the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. But based on past form it probably wont quite be a match for the Snapdragon 8 Elite , which is used by the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, and is what we were hoping would power the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Beyond that, weve elsewhere heard that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 could have 12GB of RAM , and a choice of 256GB or 512GB of storage specs which are identical to the current model. Finally, leaker @PandaFlashPro has posted on X , saying that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 will have a bigger vapor chamber than the Z Flip 6, which could help it keep cool and therefore avoid throttling. That might also aid the battery life, though as yet we havent heard anything about the phones battery. For reference though, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has a 4,000mAh battery, so wed expect the Z Flip 7s would be at least that size. Can you trust these rumors? All of these specs have each only been stated by one source, so wed take them all with a pinch of salt for now, though theres nothing unbelievable here. Hopefully though Samsung will either equip the phone with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset or give it more than 12GB of RAM or both. But thats just our hope, not a prediction.
