Samsung is currently in a rather boring rut when it comes to smartphone innovation. The likes of Huawei Mate XT, Oppo Find N5, and Honor Magic V3 have redrawn the lines of competition with bold designs and impressive hardware. But it seems a course correction for Samsung will finally materialize this year.
Leakster OnLeaks (via Android Headlines) has shared alleged product renders and a video depicting the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is poised for a global debut in the second half of 2025. The fundamental design is a familiar affair, but the side profile is noticeably slimmer compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
As per the leaked material, the upcoming phone’s cross section comes in at just 9.5mm, which makes it roughly 1.5 thinner than the current-gen foldable flagship from Samsung. The report notes that in its unfolded state, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be even thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, which was launched a few months ago.
Digging into the hardware side of things, the phone will offer an 8.2-inch inner flexible panel, while the cover display is a 6.5-inch OLED unit. As expected, it will rely on Qualcomm’s top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, while the battery capacity remains at 4,400mAh without any notable boost in charging capabilities.
The biggest upgrade, however, might be reserved for the imaging hardware. Samsung is reportedly eyeing a 200-megapixel primary camera for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which would put it in the same league as the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The ultrawide and telephoto cameras will likely stick with 12-megapixel and 10-megapixel sensors, respectively.
In addition to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and a corresponding clamshell Flip model, Samsung might deliver a big surprise at its next Unpacked event this year. Taking some inspiration from Huawei’s Mate XT, Samsung might also launch a tri-fold phone at some point around July.
This ambitious phone will reportedly feature two display units, inspired by the Galaxy Flex G concept it showcased at CES 2022. The inner display is divided into three parts across two crease lines, on which the left and right portions fold inward to create a triple-layer look. This one will be produced in very small numbers, and it might initially be limited to a few markets only.

The Samsung Galaxy S26 might miss out on this camera feature
Although the Samsung Galaxy S25 has only been on the market for a short time, rumors have already begun to swirl about the Galaxy S26. Contradicting rumors, at that. Early leaks suggested the flagship might opt for an under-display camera, but a tipster has shared that it isn’t likely — and that Samsung might not implement that style of camera anytime soon.
The under-display cameras have had “poor results,” according to tipster Panda Flash on X. They claim that under-display cameras don’t perform as well as a standard camera, and that Samsung’s focus on high-end cameras for its flagships means you shouldn’t look for one to come anytime soon.

Galaxy S25 Edge leak says it will not skimp on power, but that worries me
The Galaxy S25 Edge is set to be one of Samsung’s most unusual phones to launch in recent times. It defies Samsung’s traditional design philosophy, where few factors distinguish phones from one another, irrespective of their price range. It is also set to be one of the lightest flagships Samsung has made in several years without compromising on aesthetics.
More importantly, the Galaxy S25 Edge is not an FE equivalent that sits beneath the newly announced S25 series. It belongs in the series and a recent leak, which reveals its processor, vouches for that. However, there is something concerning about it too.
No cutbacks on power

Galaxy A56 leak reveals official colors of Samsung’s chief mid-ranger
The Samsung Galaxy A55 is a solid phone for your everyday needs, and the upcoming Galaxy A56 is expected to take the experience a notch higher with slight improvements without a significant price hike. Ahead of its launch, a series of leaked images reveal the official design and colors of the Galaxy A56.
A fresh new leak of the Samsung Galaxy A56 comes from notable leaker Evan Blass, showing the mid-ranger in four (likely) official colors. The set of images leaked by Blass includes light and dark gray, a subtle dark green or moss colorway with a chalk-like finish, and a light pink that we have previously seen on the Galaxy S23 as well as the S24 FE. The back is expected to be made of glass instead of plastic.
