Samsung is set to make a major splash in the foldable and wearable market with the imminent launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE, and Galaxy Watch 8 series, as revealed by recently surfaced marketing highlights. Here’s a detailed look at what to expect from Samsung’s next-generation devices, based on credible leaks and official teasers.
Galaxy Z Fold 7: Thinner, Smarter, and More Powerful
Display & Design:
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to feature a larger 8.2-inch inner Dynamic AMOLED 2X display and a 6.5-inch outer AMOLED screen, both with a 120Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth visuals. Samsung is pushing the boundaries of design, with the Fold 7 rumored to be one of the thinnest foldables ever, measuring just 3.9mm when unfolded and weighing around 215 grams. Bezels are ultra-thin, and the hinge is further refined for durability.
Performance & Software:
Under the hood, the Fold 7 will run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, paired with up to 16GB RAM and 1TB storage options. It will ship with One UI 8 based on Android 16, and Samsung is promising 7 generations of OS upgrades and 7 years of security updates—a first for its foldables. Enhanced Galaxy AI features, including Google Gemini integration, will offer advanced productivity and context-aware tools.
Camera & Battery:
A major camera upgrade is expected, with a 200MP main sensor (up from 50MP in the Fold 6), a 12MP ultra-wide, and a 10MP telephoto lens. The front will include a 10MP selfie camera and a 4MP under-display camera. The device will retain a 4,400mAh battery with 25W wired and 15W wireless charging, but improved chipset efficiency should offer better real-world battery life.

- Trifold design for enhanced versatility (rumored)
- Peak brightness up to 2600 nits for excellent outdoor visibility
