SamMobile reports that Samsung has already secured trademarks for the Z Flip 7 name, suggesting the phone is firmly on their roadmap.
This release will likely be part of Samsung’s big annual Summer (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) Unpacked event, where they typically unveil the latest models in their flagship lines, including the Z Flip and Z Fold series.
How much will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 cost?
While the exact price for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is speculative at this stage, we can make an estimate based on the current price of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and expected upgrades in storage and features.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to be available in multiple storage configurations, with prices possibly starting at a minimum of £1,049/$1,099.99.

There are also rumors of a more affordable model, the Galaxy Z Flip FE (Fan Edition), which could offer slightly weaker performance, in pursuit of a more budget-friendly price point.
What specifications and features will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 have?
Design
Samsung is reportedly working to make the Z Flip 7 significantly thinner than its predecessors. A recent report from KED Global reveals that the head of Samsung’s mobile division has tasked engineers to create a foldable phone as slim as the Galaxy S series, aiming for a thickness of almost 8.4mm .
For context, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 12.1mm, so this would be a substantial design shift.

The foldable clamshell design will likely remain a feature of the Galaxy Z Flip series, but rumors indicate possible durability improvements to the hinge mechanism, making the phone more robust.
Display
According to SamMobile, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 could introduce PHOLED (Phosphorescent OLED) technology, for lower power consumption, thanks to better light efficiency compared to the AMOLED screens currently in use.

However, challenges in developing blue PHOLED materials could delay their full integration into Samsung’s foldable range as early as next year.
Expect a similar 6.7-inch foldable screen, with a smaller potTpreliminary 3.4-inch exterior screen for notifications and quick interactions.
Performance
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will likely be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which offers faster performance, improved AI capabilities, and better power efficiency, compared to the 8 Gen 3 in the Flip 6.
According to insider Jukanlosreve, the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 will feature the unreleased Exynos 2500 processor. This could mark a shift in Samsung’s strategy as the Galaxy Z Flip 6 was powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, while the successor could potentially switch to Samsung’s in-house chipset.
If true, this decision appears to be in line with reports that the Galaxy S25 series will rely on the Snapdragon 8 Elite, suggesting that Samsung could reserve its top-end Exynos chipset for foldable devices.

Whichever chipset you find in the Galaxy Z Flip 7, it will likely be paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB or 1TB of storage.
Cameras
One of the most exciting rumors surrounding the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the possible addition of a third rear camera; possibly a telephoto lens (via SamMobile and GalaxyClub).
This would be a significant upgrade considering the Z Flip series has only had wide-angle and ultra-wide cameras on the back so far.

A telephoto lens would allow higher fidelity zooming without losing image clarity, and is aimed at users who want professional-level portrait and zoom capabilities.
The primary camera has already seen an increase from the 12Mp to a 50Mp sensor with the launch of the Z Flip 6, improving overall image quality and low-light performance. That is why we expect only an incremental improvement in that area.
Battery and charging
Samsung’s foldable phones have gradually improved in terms of battery capacity, and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will likely have the same 4,000mAh battery as the Z Flip 6, coupled with 25W fast charging.

With the potential integration of the aforementioned PHOLED technology, the overall power consumption could decrease, allowing the battery to last longer on a single charge despite the phone’s compact form factor.
Software
By the time the Z Flip 7 launches, it will likely run Android 15 dressed with Samsung’s One UI 7.
Leaks suggest that One UI 7 will be a massive overhaul compared to previous versions. Expect a redesigned user interface with new icons, animations and improved multitasking capabilities, tailored to foldable devices.
