We already know almost everything about the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, including the Galaxy Unpacked date where it's expected to be revealed, July 9, 2025. But new 3D renderings of the two smartphones have just been published by the Android Headlines site, which is used to leaks and has proven to be quite reliable in the past.
According to various rumors, it should be thinner than its predecessor, between 3.9 and 4.5mm when unfolded, which would be a clear difference from the 5.6mm of the Galaxy Z Fold6. To give us a better idea, we now have a visual showing the two devices side by side.
Unfortunately, they don't seem to scale, so we can't strictly compare the two. On the other hand, we can get an idea of the space that the hinge should take up on the new model, compared to the old one.
Another important piece of information revealed by these visuals: the Z Fold7 could be missing one of the most well-known features of Samsung's book-sized foldables, the internal selfie camera under the screen.
Indeed, to take advantage of the large folding screen without being hindered by a punch-hole, Samsung had until now chosen to integrate a camera under the screen, hidden by pixels. The Seoul-based company could therefore throw in the towel on this, which would still be very surprising. One reason comes to mind to explain this: the thinner the smartphone, the less space it has to integrate components.
Z Flip7: the revised external screen
Also a surprise is the Galaxy Z Flip7, the brand's next flip-style smartphone. Samsung has also reportedly revised its copy and abandoned the somewhat mixed design of the Z Flip6 with its screen cut at the level of the photo modules, to let the screen flow around the modules.
This undoubtedly gives the folding smartphone an extra touch of style and could, depending on the application, open the door to an even more practical full-screen mode. Samsung would be aligning itself with all its competitors (Xiaomi Mix Flip, Motorola Razr60 Ultra), which should also simplify the development of third-party applications for external screens, good news for the ecosystem and developers working on these machines.
