Samsung has unintentionally confirmed the names of its highly anticipated next-generation foldable phones: the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. This revelation did not come through a grand unveiling or official press release but rather via an unexpected appearance in the Galaxy Store, quickly caught by eagle-eyed users.
How the Leak Happened
The accidental confirmation came when tech enthusiasts noticed an updated listing for the Samsung Internet Browser app, which specifically mentioned support for 'Fold7 and Flip7.' This subtle mention was only visible to devices operating on Android 16 with One UI 8—software currently in beta and limited to the Galaxy S25 series. Devices running Android 15 or older versions did not display this detail. As soon as the listing was shared online by beta users, the news rapidly spread across tech forums and media before Samsung could revise the information.
Product Features and What to Expect
Although Samsung has hinted at the expansion of its foldable smartphone lineup, don’t expect a Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra variant this year. Despite early speculation about an 'Ultra' model, recent developments suggest that for now, only the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and a potential Z Flip 7 FE (Fan Edition) are on the horizon. Rumors also suggest that Samsung is working on innovative tri-fold smartphone technology, but initial releases may be limited to Korea and China.
Chipset and Performance Rumors
One of the biggest questions around the new foldables is their processor. While some leaks point to Samsung equipping the Flip 7 with the new Exynos 2500 chipset, others speculate a premium Snapdragon 8 Elite processor could be used. With no official word from Samsung, expectations are high for performance upgrades in both models.
Advantages and Use Cases
Samsung’s foldable phones continue to lead the market by offering unique form factors and flexibility for multitasking, gaming, and productivity. The anticipated improvements in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are expected to push the envelope further in terms of durability, display technology, and user experience.
Market Relevance and Upcoming Launch
The global market for foldable phones is rapidly expanding, and Samsung remains at the forefront of this innovation race. The confirmation of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 strengthens Samsung’s position as an industry leader. The tech world is now turning its attention to Samsung’s next Unpacked event, rumored to be taking place in early July in New York. However, the company has yet to make an official announcement about its flagship launch date.
As anticipation builds, stay tuned for more updates on Samsung’s latest advancements in foldable smartphone technology.
