Samsung will officially present its new range of premium Android devices by this time tomorrow. The next Galaxy Unpacked event is set to begin at 14:00 UTC in Brooklyn, New York. However, recent leaks have revealed a lot about the devices expected to be available for purchase by the end of this week.

Major Leaks

The most notable information comes from Roland Quandt, who has shared significant details about the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. According to Quandt, he has sourced all of the images from public platforms rather than through channels bound by Samsung’s non-disclosure agreements for the upcoming foldable devices. As anticipated, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is lighter and thinner than the previous model, featuring larger screens and a new 200 MP main camera, although it may lack the anticipated S Pen support.

Comparison with Previous Models

Interestingly, Samsung chose to compare the new book-style foldable with the older Galaxy Z Fold5 instead of the more recent Galaxy Z Fold6. While this is a common strategy for Samsung, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is set to be the lightest in its category, measuring just 0.1 mm thicker than the Oppo Find N5 when folded. This means the Galaxy Z Fold7 will surpass the Honor Magic V5 and Vivo X Fold5 in terms of weight and thickness.

Positioning of the Flip Models

In a similar vein, Samsung’s marketing materials seem to ignore the existence of the Galaxy Z Flip6. Instead, the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE are compared against the Galaxy Z Flip5, and even the Galaxy A56 in the case of the Z Flip7 FE. Ultimately, only the Galaxy Z Flip7 shows a real evolution in the series with its new 4.1-inch cover display and a case thickness of 14.2 mm. Currently, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is likely to compete effectively with the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra (currently priced at $1,299.99 on Amazon), but the Razr might have the advantage in terms of battery life and possibly performance as well.

Performance of the Flip7 FE

On another note, there seems to be little to differentiate the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE from the Galaxy Z Flip5, and even less when compared to the outgoing Galaxy Z Flip6. In fact, in many cases, the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE may actually perform worse than the Galaxy Z Flip5. For further information, please refer to the images provided below.
