Samsung is getting its act together with its foldable phones, after several generations during which the Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip brought practically no new features compared to the previous one; Samsung may have been motivated after the launch of highly advanced alternatives like the HONOR Magic V3.
We are already seeing the result of this renewed motivation at Samsung, with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition; This foldable incorporates numerous innovations, both in terms of design and the interior screen, which show that Samsung is not left out. Unfortunately, this device is exclusive to South Korea (with a version for China), so we won’t be able to get it in Europe… for now.
And the latest rumor suggests that Samsung could completely renew the Galaxy Z Fold range, introducing a second model; The mystery is what this device will look like and whether it will be a version of current models or something completely new.
The new model was discovered by GalaxyClubwho revealed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is codenamed Q7 at Samsung; This is what the engineers and employees of the company call it. Similarly, the Galaxy Z Flip is named B7. What is striking is that there is another model, which received the code name Q7M.
The name Q7M tells us that the new model will be a version of the Galaxy Z Fold 7and according to the leak, its development is parallel. This would therefore be the first time that Samsung has launched two versions of the Galaxy Fold at the same time, and this corresponds to the main rumor: that the special edition will be part of the main range.
In other words, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 It would be accompanied by a Galaxy Z Fold 7 Special Editionwhich would have the advantages and innovations of the special edition launched this month, but with the updates that the seventh generation of foldable devices will bring. It’s unclear whether the price of the “base” Galaxy Z Fold 7 will drop as a result; Although Samsung has denied preparing a “cheap foldable”, if the special edition fills the premium gap, anything is possible.

As it is also possible that the mysterious Q7M being Samsung’s first triple folding. Leaks suggest that the new device would be presented in 2025, so it makes sense that Samsung already has a reserved codename. This model would be the response to the Huawei Mate XT launched last September and which revolutionized the foldable market.
