Samsung Unveiling Next-Generation Foldables: What to Expect
In an exciting development for tech enthusiasts, Samsung is preparing to reveal its highly anticipated 2025 foldable smartphones—the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and the budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE—at a special event on July 9. Pre-orders for these innovative devices are expected to open that very day, with shipments slated to start on July 25. Alongside these foldables, Samsung is also set to showcase its new lineup of wearables, including the Galaxy Watch 8, Galaxy Watch 8 Ultra, and the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic.
IP Ratings: Reliable Protection for Everyday Use
According to reports from trusted insiders, including noted leaker Steve H. McFly, all three new foldables—the Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Z Flip 7 FE—will carry an IP48 rating. This matches last year’s standards, indicating that while the devices are protected against particles larger than 1mm, such as larger dust or debris, they are not fully dust-proof. However, these foldables offer robust water resistance, making them capable of withstanding submersion in fresh water up to 1.5 meters (almost five feet) for up to 30 minutes without incurring damage. This makes them suitable for users who require durability and peace of mind in daily environments.
Battery Life: Power That Lasts
The upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to feature a 4,272mAh battery, delivering up to 40 hours and 28 minutes of usage between charges—on par with its predecessor. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will reportedly include a 4,174mAh battery, offering up to 42 hours and 4 minutes of operation, while the more affordable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will come with a 3,887mAh battery and an estimated 37-hour battery life. These specifications are tailored for users seeking maximum productivity and reliability in a foldable form factor.
Feature Comparison and Market Competition
Over the past four years, the Galaxy Z Flip series (models 3, 4, 5, and 6) have dominated the global foldable phone market, consistently ranking as top sellers. With the 2025 lineup, Samsung aims to maintain this momentum despite increasing competition, particularly from Motorola's enhanced Razr Ultra. Samsung’s foldable devices are renowned for combining sleek design, cutting-edge display technology, and flexible usage scenarios—making them ideal for multitasking professionals, mobile content creators, and tech-savvy consumers who crave the latest innovations. The introduction of an affordable FE version will also make foldable devices accessible to a broader audience.
Use Cases and Practical Advantages
Foldable smartphones like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 series are perfect for users who want a versatile mobile experience. With large, immersive screens that fold for portability and multitasking, these devices cater to productivity on the go, creative work, and entertainment. The durable IP48 rating and improved battery performance further make them suitable for both everyday users and professionals who need devices that keep up with demanding lifestyles.
The Road Ahead: Samsung, Google, and Apple
Following Samsung’s major July launch, Google is set to unveil the Pixel 10 lineup on August 28, quickly followed by Apple’s iPhone 17 series—including the highly anticipated ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. With the smartphone industry’s innovation cycle accelerating, consumers can expect relentless competition and exciting technological advancements throughout 2024 and beyond.
