Fresh off the heels of the Galaxy Z Fold7 leak, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 has now surfaced in a set of detailed CAD-based renders, giving us a solid first look at Samsung’s next-generation clamshell foldable. While these renders might not be final, they paint a very clear picture of what we can expect from the Flip7’s design.
A Slightly Larger Footprint
According to the leaked dimensions, the Galaxy Z Flip7 measures 166.6 x 75.2 x 6.9 mm when unfolded—making it slightly taller and noticeably wider than its predecessor, the Flip6 (165.1 x 71.9 x 6.9 mm). When folded, the phone will be nearly 15 mm thick (9.1 mm including the camera bump), which means Samsung isn’t focusing on making it slimmer but rather expanding the display sizes.
The inner foldable screen now reportedly measures 6.8 inches, while the outer cover display jumps to 3.6 inches. That’s an upgrade from the Flip6’s 6.7-inch and 3.4-inch displays, respectively. The crease? It’s rumored to be less noticeable this time around, addressing a long-standing concern among foldable users.
Camera Setup Remains Familiar
The dual-camera configuration appears unchanged from the Galaxy Z Flip6, featuring a 50 MP main sensor and a 12 MP ultra-wide sensor. However, there’s speculation that Samsung could introduce upgraded sensors, even though the resolutions remain the same.
Performance & Hardware
Powering the Flip7 could be Samsung’s Exynos 2500 SoC, provided the company can improve chip yields in time. Otherwise, the device will likely ship with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite, though it’s unclear whether it will feature the seven-core variant. The RAM remains at 12GB, with storage options of 256GB and 512GB.
No Price Drop in Sight
If you were hoping for a price cut, you might be disappointed. Pricing is expected to stay the same as the Galaxy Z Flip6, meaning we’re still not seeing a significant drop in foldable smartphone costs—something that’s been long overdue.
Final Thoughts: Bigger, but Not Thinner
Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold7, which is rumored to be thinner, the Galaxy Z Flip7 doesn’t appear to benefit from a slimmer design—at least according to these renders. Instead, it’s all about bigger displays and a slightly larger footprint while keeping the same thickness.
The big question remains: Will the Flip7 be heavier than the Flip6? That’s something we’ll need to wait and see. For now, it looks like Samsung is playing it safe, refining the formula rather than revolutionizing it. Stay tuned for more leaks as we approach the official launch!
