    Galaxy Z Fold 7 Launching In 16 Days Can’t Wait

    Save the date! Samsung has officially announced that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are set to debut on July 9, 2025, in New York City. With just 16 days left, the anticipation is building! While the exact availability date remains uncertain, previous launches indicate that pre-orders will likely begin immediately, with sales starting about 10 to 14 days after that.

    I’ve previously highlighted the two features I’m most excited about: the Ultra experience and the incredibly slim profile. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is poised to be one of the finest foldable smartphones yet. It’s anticipated to be over three millimeters thinner than its predecessors, marking Samsung’s entry into a new era of ultra-thin devices that will directly compete with the Oppo Find N5 and Honor Magic V5.

    Additionally, the Ultra experience is set to introduce the largest main display found on a book-style foldable phone thus far. Samsung is likely to equip this model with a 200MP main camera borrowed from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which could signal a significant shift where top-tier smartphone camera technology starts appearing in foldable devices.

    The Galaxy Z Fold 7 aims to address key concerns noted in earlier models, representing the most significant upgrade to the Fold series since the inaugural Galaxy Fold. This device is expected to set a new standard for Samsung’s foldables. Samsung will also imbue the Galaxy Z Flip 7 with similar features to challenge the Motorola Razr 60 Ultra.

    According to circulating rumors and educated speculation, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is likely to sport a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, with RAM options of 12GB or 16GB, and storage capacities ranging from 256GB up to 1TB. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to mirror this processor and could come with either 8GB or 12GB of RAM, alongside storage choices between 128GB and 512GB. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 should continue to support an S-Pen on the main interface, similar to previous versions, but it may surprise users by enabling stylus functionality on both displays, following in Oppo’s footsteps.

    There’s a lot to look forward to with the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. I’m eagerly awaiting the reveal on July 9. For those ready to pre-order, Samsung is offering a pre-reservation option to snag a discount on your order.

    Visit Samsung and enter your email to get ready for the purchase. If you end up buying either the Galaxy Z Fold 7 or Flip 7 when they launch, you’ll save $50! There’s no obligation to buy now, and you won’t have to pay until you decide to pre-order, making it a great opportunity to pick up a free case or accessory.

  • Honor Says Galaxy Z Fold 7 Won’t Outsell Its Thinnest Foldable

    Honor Says Galaxy Z Fold 7 Won’t Outsell Its Thinnest Foldable

    We’ve learned that the upcoming Honor Magic V5 is set to become the slimmest foldable phone available, and now we have the precise measurements to back it up.

    The Honor Magic V5 will be 8.8mm thick when folded, making it 0.1mm slimmer than the current record-holder, the Oppo Find N5, and 0.4mm thinner than its predecessor, the Magic V3 (Honor is skipping the ‘4’ model and jumping straight to ‘5’).

    It’s important to note that this measurement does not account for the camera bump. Nonetheless, the Magic V5 isn’t far off in thickness compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra (8.2mm) and the iPhone 16 Pro Max (8.3mm) — both of which are not foldable. This makes the V5 a foldable phone that you can easily slip into your pocket without it being cumbersome.

    Honor plans to officially unveil the Magic V5 on July 2 in China. However, it might encounter immediate competition from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, which are rumored to launch in the coming weeks.

    Despite this competition, Honor is confident it will maintain its lead in slimness, asserting, “while Samsung has hinted at a thinner Galaxy Z Fold 7, the Magic V5 is expected to keep its title as the world’s thinnest foldable device through 2025.”

    Will Samsung Keep Up?

    Samsung has also been showcasing its upcoming foldable, suggesting, “the latest Galaxy Z series is the thinnest, lightest, and most advanced foldable yet.” However, according to Honor, it seems unlikely that it will beat the Magic V5’s thickness of 8.8mm when folded.

    This aligns with earlier rumors from February, which indicated that the Z Fold 7 would measure 9.5mm when folded and 4.5mm when unfolded. More recent reports hint that it might be even slimmer, with estimates showing a thickness of 9mm when folded and 4.54mm when unfolded.

    If these estimates hold true, they would represent a significant improvement over the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which stands at 12.1mm folded and 5.6mm unfolded, but the Z Fold 7 would still be bulkier than the Magic V5 and the Find N5.

    We’ve also had our first glimpse of the V5 in person—check out our initial images of the device on Instagram.

    The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is gearing up for a tough challenge next month with the unveiling of the Honor Magic V5, touted to be the thinnest foldable smartphone in the world.

    The competition in the foldable phone arena is heating up. Following the releases of the Motorola Razr 2025, Razr Ultra, and the sleek Oppo Find N5, anticipation is building as the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are set to launch soon.

    Before that, however, the Honor Magic V5 will take the spotlight on July 2. Honor has confirmed that the V5 will dethrone the Oppo Find N5, establishing itself as the slimmest foldable device available. Recent images shared on Weibo allow us to admire its elegant profile.

    However, there is a noticeable feature in the photos—the camera bump. It’s unlikely that Honor will factor this prominent bulge into the measurements when it makes its claims at the launch on July 2. Anticipate them to highlight the thinnest section of the device.

    This marketing tactic is not uncommon; smartphone brands often showcase the slimmest dimensions of their devices, which can lead to some ambiguity. Consequently, while the Magic V5 may appear elegantly slender, its actual thickness could be thicker in areas, particularly around the camera.

    Ready for Action

    Honor isn’t the sole player generating buzz around new foldables. Samsung has also been teasing the Galaxy Z Fold 7 heavily in recent weeks.

    Samsung claims the upcoming device will be its “thinnest, lightest, and most cutting-edge foldable to date,” with speculation around a significant design revamp.

    The current Galaxy Z Fold 6 ranks heavier compared to competitors like Honor, Oppo, and Google, measuring 12.1mm when closed. To claim the title of thinnest foldable, the Honor Magic V5 must undercut the Find N5’s 8.9mm thickness.

    Reports from sources like SamMobile and Android Headlines suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s thickness might be reduced to around 9mm, marking a promising advancement. While the Magic V5 might take the crown for slenderness, its availability in the U.S. remains uncertain—providing Samsung with a distinct edge in attracting foldable phone enthusiasts.

    Samsung Quietly Reveals Galaxy Z Fold 7 And Z Flip 7 Names

    Samsung has given us a glimpse of what seems to be an upcoming ‘Ultra’ variant of its next foldable smartphone. Interestingly, the South Korean tech giant has also seemingly let slip the names for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7.

    Though the official press release doesn’t explicitly mention these devices, it includes a GIF that showcases the silhouette of a foldable phone—presumably the ‘Ultra’ model indicated in the text.

    Additionally, while the visual content doesn’t specify any names, I noticed that the filename of the image reveals information that hasn’t been made public until now. The file is labeled as “Galaxy-Z-Fold7-Z-Flip7-Pre-tease-Bartype_1920x1080.gif.”

    The filename visible in the URL not only references the Galaxy Z Fold 7 but also mentions the Z Flip 7, which is intriguing given that the image clearly depicts a foldable device rather than a flipping one.

    Unexpected Reveal, Expected Names

    Given that Samsung has consistently used a numerical naming scheme since the Galaxy Z Fold 2, it’s not shocking that the forthcoming foldable models will follow suit in 2025 (unless, of course, Samsung decides to pull a major rebranding move).

    The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 were anticipated names for the next generation of devices, likely to be unveiled later this year—possibly even next month. What stands out is how these names became publicly known.

    Was this just a minor oversight in the naming process, or could it be a clever hidden detail Samsung intended for enthusiasts to discover?

    What we’re truly curious about is whether the rumored ‘Ultra’ model will exist alongside the Fold 7 and Flip 7, potentially offering consumers three new foldable options, or if ‘Ultra’ is merely an enhancement to the existing Fold line. We may not have to wait long for answers, with rumors suggesting a launch in July.

  • Galaxy Z Fold 7 And Flip 7 To Receive Major Display Upgrades

    Galaxy Z Fold 7 And Flip 7 To Receive Major Display Upgrades

    Samsung is gearing up for the launch of its 2025 collection of foldable smartphones, anticipated to debut next summer. Exciting new details are currently surfacing. According to industry expert Ross Young from the display supply chain sector, there are noteworthy updates regarding these devices.

    The latest information suggests that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 will utilize the same display technology as the recently launched Galaxy Fold Special Edition, boasting an 8-inch foldable main screen and a 6.5-inch cover display. In comparison, the existing Galaxy Z Fold 6 features a 7.6-inch primary display and a 6.3-inch cover display. Young also forecasts that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might offer a larger 6.85-inch foldable display alongside a 4-inch cover display, up from the Galaxy Z Flip 6’s 6.7-inch main display and 3.4-inch cover screen.

    Moreover, recent insights from Digital Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) reveal a decline in the foldable smartphone market this year, despite the overall smartphone segment thriving. DSCC projects a modest 5% increase in foldable smartphone sales for 2024, followed by a potential 4% decrease in 2025. Since 2019, this market has experienced consistent annual growth of at least 40%.

    Interestingly, panel shipments for the Galaxy Z Flip 6, launched earlier this year, are predicted to drop by at least 10% compared to those of the Galaxy Z Flip 5.

    On another note, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 is expected to outperform the Galaxy Z Fold 5 in terms of shipments by a small margin. However, Samsung’s overall acquisition of foldable panels may decrease by over 20%, hitting the lowest figures seen since 2021, partially due to underwhelming performance of older models.

    Transitioning to larger displays in upcoming foldable models is a positive advancement. Yet, this alone may not be sufficient to bolster sales numbers. The high price tag of foldable smartphones compared to conventional models likely contributes significantly to the stagnation in this market segment. Acknowledging this challenge, Samsung is reportedly working on more budget-friendly versions of its foldable devices.

    Expect the unveiling of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 next summer. These new smartphones are likely to feature upgraded displays, improved camera systems, different processors, and refined aesthetics. Additionally, Samsung’s first trifold smartphone could debut next year, along with a more affordable Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.
