It goes without saying that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 have been heavily criticized for their lack of innovation (as have the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy A55). While Samsung has shown a certain conservatism in recent years, the statements of its managers all point in the same direction: we need to get back to innovation.
And precisely, according to a leaker officiating on Weibo, Setsuna Digital, the Galaxy Fold 7 would integrate a set of important improvements. Be careful though, the reliability of this source has not yet been established, so take what follows with a grain of salt.
Here is his statement, automatically translated via DeepL:
Towards a more efficient screen?
Another leaker, this time officiating on X (Twitter), adds fuel to his fire and claims that the Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 would have a more efficient screen. The leaker goes so far as to suggest a gain of 55 minutes on the device's battery life, without specifying whether this is a measurement with the foldable screen deployed or not.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 could therefore improve its battery life without changing the battery. We often write in the columns of 01net, the battery capacity is only one of the factors that influences the autonomy of a device, the energy efficiency of the components or the optimization of the system can play a considerable role.
Other elements mentioned by Setsuna Digital overlap with previous rumors:
- an improved camera under the screen, either on the quality of the capture, or on the quality of its integration;
- an improved structure and hinge, probably to make the whole thing more solid;
- an improved resistance to dust and water, which would therefore potentially be established above the current IP 48 of the Z Fold 6.
If Samsung actually integrates all these new features in the long term, we could end up with a substantial improvement. The Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 are expected to be unveiled around summer 2025.
