Samsung is not likely to provide a new series of foldable smartphones for roughly three months. To summarize, the company is thought to have not only created the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Fold7 but also the Galaxy Z Flip FE, along with its first tri-fold device called the Galaxy G Fold. Although Samsung has yet to verify this, what seems to be the Galaxy Z Fold7 has recently appeared on Geekbench.

Geekbench Insights

As previously speculated, Geekbench indicates that the Galaxy Z Fold7 (SM-F966U) is equipped with the complete 8-core version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite, unlike the Oppo Find N5. Furthermore, the clock speeds of 4.47 GHz on its two prime cores confirm that Samsung has opted for the ‘for Galaxy’ variant of Qualcomm’s cutting-edge flagship chipset. With an OpenCL score of 18,143, the Galaxy Z Fold7 performs about 2.6% better than the Oppo Find N5. In contrast, there is a significant 27.9% difference when comparing the Galaxy Z Fold7 to the Galaxy Z Fold6.

Features and Specifications

The same listing also points out that the device will have 12 GB of RAM and will run on Android 16 instead of Android 15. This would mark a first for Galaxy foldables. In the past, Samsung has released its foldable devices with the same Android version as their Galaxy S equivalents, which would mean Android 15 based on the Galaxy S25 Ultra (currently $1,079.99 on Amazon). The Galaxy Z Fold7 is expected to come with features taken from the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, like larger screens, a less noticeable inner display crease, and an impressive 200 MP primary camera.
