The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has leaked again and this time it’s looking like the next-gen foldable smartphone could be the one to buy.

This new rumour, coming from an X post by @The Galox_ reveals that the new Fold 7 could come with the latest Samsung Galaxy One UI 8 out of the box.

It’s not just the software that’s getting an upgrade though as this new leak suggests we could see an upgraded under-screen camera, and much more too.

What’s with the camera?

Recent rumours have suggested that it’s worth waiting for the Z Fold 8, and for some camera fans that could still be the case. But this new rumour may sway you.

The key here is the camera. While the current model and next gen Fold 7 use under-display cameras, the Fold 8 may do away with that – which some may want.

However, it’s worth noting that this new claim suggests the UDC is getting an upgrade, which may just mean Samsung decides to keep that, should it be well recieved.

Screen upgrades

Now it looks like the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be coming with an upgraded display setup. Firstly that is thanks to a larger 8-inch inner display and a 6.5-inch outer screen – and a smaller crease for improved visuals.

These represent a big jump up from the Z Fold 6 screens at 7.6-inch and 6.3-inch displays.

This also could be better quality too, in terms of resilience. It is claimed that the display is going to be stronger with new layers that help to offer better protection. There should also be improved dust and water resistance as part of that build upgrade.

Despite all that, this model is expected to actually be thinner with a body that’s just 4.5mm unfolded.

Powerful specs

Powering all this, according to the new leak, will be the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy which is a custom build that should make this the fastest foldable yet from the company. And it’s allegedly backed by a larger vapor chamber to cool faster while running intensive tasks like gaming.

There are also apparently upgraded speakers and a new vibration motor that will make the listening and interacting experience even more premium.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 release date

Based on past Samsung announcement and release schedules, the new Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to launch in July 2025.

If the price stays the same that will mean it should cost $1,899.99.

Samsung’s hyped budget foldable phone finally shows its face

Alleged render of Samsung Galaxy Z flip 7 FE.

Samsung, it seems, is ready to open its budget foldable phone innings under the “Fan Edition” banner later this year. So far, we’ve only heard murmurs of a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE being in development, but we finally may have our first purported look at the real thing.
The folks over at SammyGuru (with leakster OnLeaks) have shared what they claim to be CAD-based renders of the upcoming phone, alongside a video depicting it from all angles. From the looks, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE will likely duplicate the vanilla Galaxy Z Flip 6’s design language.

Staying close to home
As per the latest leak, the affordable foldable offering will reportedly offer a 3.4-inch cover display and a 6.7-inch inner foldable panel. The only major difference is that the FE trim could be slightly narrower, but a tad thicker (7.4mm vs 6.9mm) than the Galaxy Z Flip 6.

Samsung’s One UI 7, currently limited to devices launched in 2025, will reach more devices very soon. The update Android 15-based update will start rolling out to older devices in April, starting with the Galaxy S24 series on April 10. While the initial set of phones and tablets eligible for the One UI 7 update only includes flagships, affordable phones won’t be far behind.

As Samsung prioritizes on making stable One UI 7 available on its flagship Galaxy S, Z Fold, Z Flip, and Tab S lineups, it is also likely to begin testing the update on a non-flagship phone from last year. Dedicated pages in the One UI 7 beta forums have recently gone live for Galaxy A55, indicating it might be the first in line when Samsung broadens its release.

Official Galaxy S25 Edge colors shown off in a convincing new leak

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge cameras

The Galaxy S25 Edge is perhaps the most exciting Samsung phone to launch this year. The thin-and-light phone is set to differ from the rest of Samsung’s phones in design with just two back cameras — in addition to its telling thickness. With its launch rumored to be a few weeks ago, we have a flurry of leaks showcasing the design and revealing the phone’s specification. The latest one adds to our knowledge of the Galaxy S25 Edge’s color variants.

In a fresh leak, the Galaxy S25 Edge can be seen in official-looking digital renders. Coinciding with previous leaks, the latest one from WinFuture showcases the S25 Edge in three colors: Jet Black, a faint Icy Blue, and the Silver, the last of which we might have seen in a leaked hands-on video from earlier this week.
