Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked July 2025 event is just days away, and anticipation is building for the official unveiling of the Galaxy Z Fold 7—alongside other major product launches.
Set for July 9 in Brooklyn, New York, this event promises to showcase Samsung’s latest innovations in foldable technology, AI integration, and premium hardware.
If you’re a fan of cutting-edge smartphones—like the Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy S25 Ultra—this year’s foldable flagship could be Samsung’s most refined yet. Below, we break down the rumored upgrades for the Z Fold 7, along with other expected announcements.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: The Biggest Rumored Upgrades
1. Thinner, Lighter, and Larger Displays
The Z Fold 7 is expected to be Samsung’s thinnest foldable yet, with leaks suggesting an unfolded thickness of just 4.2mm (down from 5.6mm on the Z Fold 6) and a folded profile of 8.9mm. The weight is also rumored to drop to 215g, making it significantly lighter than its predecessor.
Additionally, the inner foldable display could expand to 8 inches (up from 7.6 inches), while the cover screen may grow to 6.5 inches, improving usability for one-handed tasks.
2. 200MP Camera & ProVisual Engine
Samsung may finally bring its 200MP main camera (previously seen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra) to the Z Fold 7, a massive leap from the Z Fold 6’s 50MP sensor. This could be paired with Samsung’s ProVisual Engine for DSLR-like depth control and enhanced low-light performance.
3. Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip & AI Enhancements
Like the S25 Ultra, the Z Fold 7 is expected to run on the custom Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, delivering 40% faster NPU performance for on-device AI tasks.
Potential AI upgrades include:
- Enhanced multitasking with One UI 8
- Circle to Search improvements (recognizing phone numbers/emails)
- Call Transcript & Summary for productivity
4. Improved Durability (But Still IP48 Rating)
While Samsung has teased a more durable design, leaks suggest the Z Fold 7 will retain an IP48 rating—meaning water resistance but limited dust protection. However, it may feature a stronger foldable screen with a less visible crease.
5. Pricing & Availability
The Z Fold 7 is expected to start at $1,899, matching last year’s model. Pre-orders will likely open July 9, with shipments starting July 25.
Other Expected Announcements at Galaxy Unpacked
1. Galaxy Z Flip 7: Bigger Cover Screen & Battery Boost
The Z Flip 7 is rumored to feature a 4.1-inch cover screen (up from 3.4 inches) and a 4,300mAh battery (vs. 4,000mAh in the Flip 6). It may also debut with the Exynos 2500 chip in some regions.
2. Galaxy Watch 8 Series: A Comeback for the Classic Model
After skipping the Classic variant last year, Samsung is reportedly reviving it alongside the Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch Ultra 2. A new “squircle” design and advanced health tracking could help Samsung regain market share in wearables.
3. AI & Software Innovations
With One UI 7 expected to debut, Samsung may highlight deeper Gemini AI integration, building on features like Now Brief and Live Notifications seen in the S25 series.
4. Surprise Reveals?
Rumors suggest a possible triple-folding Galaxy device or even a glimpse at Project Moohan (Samsung’s mixed-reality headset).
Final Thoughts: Why the Z Fold 7 Could Be Samsung’s Best Foldable Yet
If the leaks hold true, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be a major step forward—with a thinner design, 200MP camera, and Snapdragon 8 Elite power. Combined with Samsung’s AI-driven software, it may finally bridge the gap between foldables and traditional flagships like the S25 Ultra.
For those who own the S25 Edge or S25 Ultra, the Z Fold 7 could be the perfect companion for productivity and multitasking.
