Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 looks to be a bigger surprise than initially expected, with the first hands-on leak confirming reports of a bigger cover display and thinner hardware, and it looks good.
A hands-on video of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 was posted on Twitter/X this weekend, showing off the device in plenty of detail. We can see the device, in black, with its side profile looking a fair bit thinner compared to prior generations. The open device is also seen with virtually no crease, suggesting this is probably a brand new device that just came out of the box, with the packaging directly behind it suggesting that’s the case.
That video, which was since been removed, also shows the cover display in action for the first time.
There’s a new widget panel that takes advantage of the larger display with four visible widgets at once. The screenshots captured by SamMobile, unfortunately, don’t show much more than that. Still, it’s great to see the screen lit up.
We were able to obtain a copy of another video (thanks Yuval!) which only shows the hardware. Rumor has it the Flip 7 is a fair bit thinner than Samsung’s past few generations, a change that we’ve been waiting quite a while to see.
Samsung has reservations open now for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, with a $50 credit when you pre-order and up to $1,150+ in savings. Reservations are free, and there’s no obligation to actually buy a device if you sign up, but there’s no other time you can get that $50 credit (which can go towards Galaxy Watch 8), 3x reward points, and other perks.
