Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Leak Reveals Upgrades and Key Weakness

Key Takeaways

1. The Galaxy Z Fold7 will be unveiled later this year, alongside the Z Flip7 and possibly the Z Flip7 FE.
2. Expected enhancements include a better hinge design, improved under-display camera, and improved display quality, along with better dust and water resistance.
3. There are mixed rumors about the camera; it may retain the 50 MP main camera from previous models rather than featuring an upgrade.
4. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is likely to have the same 4400mAh battery capacity as the Z Fold6, with no improvements in battery life.
5. The Galaxy Z Fold7 remains one of the few foldable phones available in the US market following the cancellation of the OnePlus Open 2.

Samsung is prepping to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7 later this year, alongside the Z Flip7 and potentially the Z Flip7 FE. With OnePlus Open 2 recently getting canceled, the Z Fold7 stands as one of the few foldable phones available in the US market. A new leak has surfaced, shedding light on some anticipated enhancements for this device.

Enhancements on the Horizon

According to Chinese leaker Setsuna Digital, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is expected to come with a range of upgrades when compared to the Z Fold6 from last year. The flagship device is rumored to showcase improvements in its hinge design—suggesting that the crease may be less visible—and also enhancements in the under-display camera, display quality, and its dust and water resistance rating.

Camera Upgrades or Not?

Rumor has it that the Galaxy Z Fold7 might also feature an upgraded main camera, which could thrill fans. However, previous reports suggest otherwise, indicating that the Galaxy Z Fold7 is likely to keep the same 50 MP main camera found in earlier models. While the Z Fold Special Edition and the forthcoming Galaxy S25 Edge boast superior main cameras, it might be a letdown if the Galaxy Z Fold7 sticks with the same sensor that has been used since the Galaxy Z Fold4.

Battery Capacity Concerns

Regrettably, it seems the Galaxy Z Fold7 won’t see any improvements in battery life over last year’s version. The same goes for the Galaxy S25 lineup, so this isn’t too surprising. The foldable is expected to feature a 4400mAh battery, which is disappointing in light of slimmer and smaller foldables like the upcoming Xiaomi Mix Flip 2 and OPPO Find N5, both of which are said to have batteries exceeding 5000 mAh.
