Galaxy Z Fold 7: Slimmer and Smarter with Galaxy AI

Leaked by tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks), an image of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 reveals a notably slimmer profile and an updated camera module. According to Samsung’s June blog post, the new Fold will be “thinner, lighter, and more durable” than its predecessor.

Key design and hardware changes:

• Thinner foldable body with updated hinge mechanism

• Return of the hole-punch selfie camera on the inner display, replacing the under-display sensor used since the Z Fold 3

• Tighter Galaxy AI integration for smarter user interactions

• Enhanced durability for daily use

Samsung has confirmed that the Z Fold 7 will offer a more agentic UI, powered by Galaxy AI, moving beyond standalone tools to deeply influence the entire user interface experience.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra: Bigger, Bolder, More Capable

Samsung is also expected to launch an Ultra variant of the Z Fold 7, designed to deliver larger screen real estate, advanced AI tools, and seamless multitasking capabilities.

Highlights of the Fold 7 Ultra may include:

• Voice-activated Galaxy AI controls

• Deeper system-wide AI enhancements, mirroring the Galaxy S24 Ultra

• Larger battery and possibly enhanced camera hardware

Samsung has indicated this device will represent a blend of “artistry and engineering,” aimed at power users who demand flagship performance in a foldable form.

Galaxy Z Flip 7: Exynos Power, ProVisual Camera Engine

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also set to make its debut, featuring several internal improvements while retaining the iconic flip design.

Anticipated upgrades:

• Powered by Exynos 2500 chipset, replacing previous Snapdragon SoCs

• Slightly larger 4-inch cover display

• Updated OLED panels with blue phosphorescent materials for better efficiency and reduced creasing

• Optimised ProVisual Engine for improved photo and video performance

Samsung may also reveal a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE (Fan Edition) to offer a more budget-friendly foldable option for mainstream users.

Galaxy G Fold (Tri-Fold Device): Preview Coming, Launch in October

While the focus of the event will be on the Z7 series, Samsung is reportedly planning to preview its much-rumored tri-fold device, possibly called the Galaxy G Fold.

• The G Fold will not go on sale immediately and is expected to launch in October 2025.

• This strategy mirrors the approach Samsung took with the Galaxy S25 Edge, previewing it early and launching it later.

The Galaxy G Fold is expected to combine tablet-like display dimensions with portability, thanks to its tri-fold design — a leap forward in foldable technology.

Galaxy Watch 8 Series and XR Headset Tease

In addition to smartphones, the Galaxy Watch 8 series is expected to debut at the event. Samsung may also tease its upcoming XR headset project, codenamed “Project Moohan”, signaling its entry into the extended reality ecosystem.

Pre-Reservations Open in India

Samsung has already started pre-reservations for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and Watch 8 series in India. For ₹1,999, early adopters will receive:

• Early access to new devices

• Exclusive purchase benefits worth up to ₹5,999

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9 promises to be one of the brand’s biggest product showcases yet. With new foldables, an AI-powered UI overhaul, and a sneak peek at a tri-fold device, Samsung is cementing its dominance in the foldable smartphone space.
