SamMobile reports that Samsung has already secured trademarks for the Z Flip 7's name, suggesting the phone is firmly on its roadmap.
This release will likely be part of Samsung's big annual Summer (at least in the northern hemisphere) Unpacked event, where they usually reveal the latest models in their flagship lineups, including the Z Flip and Z Fold series.
How much will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 cost?
While the exact price of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is speculative at this point, we can estimate it based on the current price of the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and anticipated storage and feature upgrades.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to be available in multiple storage configurations, with prices potentially starting at a minimum of £1,049/$1,099.99.

There are also rumors of a more affordable model, the Galaxy Z Flip FE (Fan Edition), which could feature slightly lower performance, seeking a more affordable price.
What specifications and features will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 have?
Design
Samsung is reportedly working to make the Z Flip 7 significantly thinner than its predecessors. A recent report from KED Global suggests that the head of Samsung's mobile division has tasked engineers with creating a foldable phone as thin as the Galaxy S series, aiming for a thickness close to 8.4mm.
For context, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 measures 12.1mm, so this would be a substantial design change.

The foldable clamshell design will likely remain a feature of the Galaxy Z Flip series, but rumors point to potential durability improvements to the hinge mechanism, making the phone more sturdy.
Display
According to SamMobile, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 could introduce PHOLED (Phosphorescent OLED) technology, for reduced power consumption, thanks to better light efficiency compared to the AMOLED screens currently used.

However, difficulties with the development of blue PHOLED materials could delay their full integration into Samsung's foldable range as early as next year.
Expect a similar 6.7-inch foldable screen, with a potPotentially 3.4-inch exterior display for notifications and quick interactions.
Performance
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will likely be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, offering faster performance, improved AI capabilities, and better power efficiency, compared to the Flip 6's 8 Gen 3.
According to industry insider Jukanlosreve, the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 will feature the unreleased Exynos 2500 processor. This could mark a shift in Samsung's strategy, since the Galaxy Z Flip 6 was powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, while its successor could switch to Samsung's in-house chipset.
This move, if true, seems to match reports that the Galaxy S25 series will rely on the Snapdragon 8 Elite, suggesting that Samsung could reserve its high-end Exynos chipset for foldable devices.

No matter what chipset you find in the Galaxy Z Flip 7, it will likely be paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage.
Cameras
One of the most exciting rumors surrounding the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the potential addition of a third rear camera; possibly a telephoto lens (via SamMobile and GalaxyClub).
This would be a significant upgrade, as until now the Z Flip series only included wide and ultra-wide cameras on the back.

A telephoto lens would allow for higher fidelity zooming without losing image clarity, catering to users who want professional-level portrait and zoom capabilities.
The main camera has already seen a sensor increase from 12Mp to 50Mp with the launch of the Z Flip 6, improving overall image quality and low-light performance. As such, we only expect incremental improvement on this front.
Battery and charging
Samsung's foldable phones have gradually improved in terms of battery capacity, and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will likely feature the same 4,000mAh battery as the Z Flip 6, coupled with 25W fast charging.

With the potential integration of the aforementioned PHOLED technology, overall power consumption could decrease, allowing the battery to last longer on a single charge, despite the phone's compact form factor.
Software
By the time the Z Flip 7 launches, it will likely run Android 15, powered by Samsung's One UI 7.
Leaks suggest that One UI 7 will be a massive overhaul compared to previous versions. Expect a redesigned user interface with new icons, animations and improved multitasking capabilities, tailored to foldable devices.
