We’re just days away from Samsung’s next big Galaxy Unpacked event, which is scheduled for July 9 in New York. And while the company hasn’t confirmed anything officially, leaks and rumours have already given us a pretty clear picture of what’s coming. At the centre of the launch will be the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 — Samsung’s latest additions to its foldable line-up. Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen everything from official-looking renders to live images of the devices, and even some accidental accessory listings. From what it looks like, this year’s foldables are all about refinement.
Let’s start with the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Just recently, live images of the phone surfaced online, showing off the new blue colour variant — likely called Blue Shadow. This is the same deep shade we saw earlier in leaked renders, and now it seems to be the hero colour for the device. The photos also confirm that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is slimmer than its predecessor. While we don’t have the exact numbers from these images, previous reports have said the phone could be just 3.9mm to 4.5mm thick when unfolded — easily the thinnest Galaxy Z Fold yet.
Another detail worth noting is the camera setup. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 appears to have a triple rear camera system stacked vertically, placed on a slightly raised island. What’s changing, though, is the front camera approach. Samsung seems to be ditching the under-display selfie camera used in the Fold 6, and going back to regular hole-punch cameras on both the cover and inner screens.
As for specs, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to pack a 6.5-inch cover and an 8.2-inch inner AMOLED display, respectively. It’ll reportedly be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, paired with at least 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. There are also rumours of a 200-megapixel primary sensor, possibly borrowed from the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Now, coming to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 — this one’s also leaked in renders and is expected to get its share of upgrades. The design looks slimmer compared to the Flip 6, and it may even come in the same Jet Black and Blue Shadow colour options as the Fold. The most noticeable change could be the larger outer display, which is rumoured to grow from 3.4 inches to around 4 inches. Internally, the phone might be powered by either the Snapdragon 8 Elite or an Exynos 2500 chip, depending on the region.
And then there’s the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE — Samsung’s first Fan Edition foldable. A recent leak via a case manufacturer accidentally confirmed the name, and while there are no images just yet, reports suggest it’ll be a more affordable version of the Flip, possibly powered by the Exynos 2400e.
Samsung is also expected to announce the Galaxy Watch 8 series during the event, including a standard Watch 8, a Watch 8 Classic and a Watch Ultra 2. The full picture will be clear on July 9 — but for now, the leaks have definitely kept things exciting.
