The leaked design for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 has surfaced, showcasing a significantly larger 3.6-inch cover display, reminiscent of the iconic Gameboy SP. This notable upgrade expands the external screen’s functionality, offering a more interactive experience even when the device is closed. Opening the Z Flip 7 reveals a 6.8-inch internal display, a welcome increase from its predecessor, though still smaller than some competing flip phones.
These images originate from official CAD renders of the Z Flip 7, initially obtained by Android Headlines. While these leaks don’t definitively confirm the device’s internal specifications, they allow for educated speculation based on the visual details.
The dual-camera setup on the cover remains prominent, accompanied by a punch-hole camera centered at the top of the internal display. It’s anticipated the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will retain the camera configuration of the Flip 6, featuring a 50MP primary lens and a 12MP ultrawide lens. While potential sensor upgrades are possible, even if the resolution stays the same, it’s unlikely given the minimal camera improvements in the flagship Galaxy S23 series.
The internal screen crease appears less noticeable in the renders, potentially due to the image quality or improvements in hinge technology. When fully open, the crease seems almost invisible, with only the hinge hinting at its presence. This aligns with other leaks suggesting a significantly reduced, though not entirely eliminated, crease and a more durable hinge, addressing a known vulnerability in previous Samsung foldable phones.
Speculation regarding the internal chipset has oscillated between Qualcomm and Exynos, with more recent leaks leaning toward the Exynos 2500 SoC. However, this remains unconfirmed pending official announcements from Samsung.
The Z Flip 7 is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB or 512GB, along with a suite of Galaxy AI features. The price is likely to remain consistent with the previous generation, starting around $1,100.
Anticipate the arrival of the Z Flip 7, alongside the Z Fold 7, sometime in July or August, with further details emerging as the launch date approaches.
