Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to arrive in 2025 with many surprises. While the specs and features are still under secret, rumor suggests that there could be a new entry in the series. It looks like Samsung may be diversifying its foldable lineup with a more budget-friendly option, following the same philosophy as its Galaxy FE (Fan Edition) devices. The potential for a “Galaxy Z Flip

If the GSMA database listing is accurate, it could mark an exciting change for Samsung’s foldable strategy. A “lite” or “affordable” foldable may include slightly scaled-down specs – such as a lower-tier processor, simpler materials, or less premium features – while retaining the signature clamshell foldable design.

In late November, rumors indicated that Samsung might launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7, with the FE model reportedly powered by the Exynos 2400e. This chip, which also powers the Galaxy S24 FE, is designed to deliver solid performance while helping Samsung keep costs down. The Galaxy Z Flip 7, on the other hand, is expected to feature the more advanced Exynos 2500, a processor that is yet to be officially unveiled.

Unfortunately, the available code snippets provide little information about the specifications of these foldable devices. Even the exact names of the phones haven’t been confirmed, although Android Authority has speculated based on the limited information available. So far, not much is known about the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, other than the hint that they are in development. Details about the potential upgrade remain unclear.

For now, the focus is mainly on the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 series, which is expected to launch in January. This year’s lineup may include a new Galaxy S25 Slim edition in addition to the usual three models.

As said, Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2025 is expected to take place on January 22, which will reveal the Samsung Galaxy S25 series. According to recent reports, the Galaxy S25 Slim will not be released at the same time as the other phones. The Slim variant could be arriving a few months later and a new report based on Samsung’s latest One UI 7 beta supports this claim. The beta includes a list of US carrier-specific Samsung phone models, but the Galaxy S25 Slim’s model number is notably absent.

This suggests that the Slim will not be part of the initial wave of devices launching with One UI 7 based on Android 15. Earlier rumors had indicated that the S25 Slim would launch in the second quarter of next year (between April and June), which is in line with the One UI 7 findings.
