Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 - 2025 is just around the corner, and rumors promise that we will finally get a phone that will not be perceived as a compromise between usability and size. Samsung boss TM Roh apparently clearly instructed his engineers: "The phone must be thinner than the Galaxy S!" If they succeed, we will have the first foldable phone that I can easily put in my jeans pocket.
The main focus of the new Samsung Galaxy With Fold 7 – 2025 is its record thinness. When you open it, it is said to be just 4.5 mm thin – which is thinner than the average butter sandwich. When closed, we are talking about 9 mm thick, which means the end of the era of mini bricks that protruded uncomfortably from your pocket. With this Samsung For the first time in the history of foldable phones, it sets a standard that was previously only characteristic of classic high-end phones (source: theverge.com).
Key to this feat will be a brand new hinge technology called a “waterdrop.” This means the phone will have no cracks when closed, the crease will be less visible, and they even promise better dust and water resistance. So, no more panicking about hiding your phone on the beach when there's a little wind or sand.
Larger screen, almost invisible edges – one of the main features – Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 – 2025
Samsung doesn't want to compromise on screen size either. The outer display will increase its diagonal to a more usable 6.5 inches, while the inner one will grow to around 8 inches. Less black border, more space for Netflix, Instagram and games – ideal for those who believe that more screens equal more happiness.
Samsung also promises a revolution in display technology. The new blue phosphor OLED (PHOLED) will allow for higher brightness and lower power consumption. So, the screen will be brighter, and the phone will be less burdened with charging. A win-win situation if you ask me.
Processor like a Ferrari, battery more like a Fiat
Processor Snapdragon 8 Elite It's supposed to be the pinnacle of mobile technology. Fast as lightning and, more importantly, cooler than an oven baking bread. Samsung is finally adding a larger steam chamber so that your phone doesn't get as hot as a freshly baked bun during Fortnite battles.
The battery remains the same as its predecessor, at 4400 mAh. It's not exactly record-breaking, but with a more efficient screen and processor, we might finally get a day and a half of autonomy. Fast charging remains at a modest 25 W, which means the phone will be charged about as quickly as making an espresso at home.
A camera that even the S series will envy
The biggest photographic upgrade is the 200MP main camera – practically the same sensor as the upcoming Galaxy S25 Ultra. That means photos where you can count individual blades of grass or even stars in the night sky. The ultra-wide and telephoto cameras remain the same as before, but the important thing is the improved under-display selfie camera. Finally, it won't look like a bad Skype camera from 2009.
The price that will cause a minor financial crisis
And now for the less good news – the price of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 – 2025 will remain close to 2,000 euros. Samsung clearly believes that true innovation requires a painfully expensive investment. “Jan, do you really need a 2-jul phone?” I often ask myself. I don’t know yet – but if it’s really that thin, stylish and practical, this phone could be the first foldable model that I’ll actually say “YES” to.
The phone will be unveiled in July 2025, with sales expected to follow shortly after. Until then, I'll be thinking a little more about whether I can really afford it. But you ask yourself: will it Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 – 2025 finally enough to say goodbye to the classic S-series?
