Samsung’s next-round foldable, Galaxy Z Fold 7, is around the corner. The official launch has been set at the Galaxy Unpacked event of the company for 9 July. But before official unveiling, leaks have painted a detailed detailed picture of what users can expect. The latest round of leaked renders and videos indicates on a familiar but better design, as a return of punch-hole camera on the interior screen with one of the most talked changes, some Samsung has not done since 2020 Galaxy Z. Fold 2.

Not under display camera?

This change comes as a surprise, especially because the company sticks to the under-display camera tech since the Galaxy Z Fold 3. But the new images shared by the popular tipster Ivan Blass, clearly show a hole-pan camera setup on the internal performance of the foldable. It aligns with earlier rumors that Samsung can leave the under-display camera, one step is something that is not only inspired by performance, but also possible patent concerns, especially as Apple is considered to work on a foldable.

The placement of the punch-hole camera seems unchanged, yet is located on one side of the folding screen. Although it cannot offer a full-screen experience like an under-display camera, it is likely to provide better quality for selfie and video calls, something that many users had expected in the previous fold model.

A thin, light fold?

Design changes do not stop on camera. A recent video posted by the Korean YouTube channel Thesinza compared a dummy unit of Galaxy Z fold 7 with fold 6. The new model appears quite thin. When manifest, the fold 7 is asked to measure around 4.5 mm, while the folded thickness can be about 9 mm. This is a major improvement on last year’s fold 6, which was 5.6 mm when open and 12.1 mm closes.

This makes the Z fold 7 one of the thinnest devices in Samsung, even the slimmer compared to the Galaxy S25 edge, which is reportedly 5.8 mm thick. A thin build can make the foldable easy to handle and may be less heavy in the pocket. In addition to being more compact, the new model can also come with a light frame, with a total weight of 215 grams to be hover.

Big performance, cleaner design

The Samsung display also appears to have tismg the size. The internal screen can get a collision with 7.6 inches at 6 to 8.2 inches at fold 7. On the outside, the cover display can remain at 6.5 inches. Another design Twice involves the removal of the camera rings Rings that was first shown on fold 6 and later moved to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. These rings received mixed response, many users realized that they took away the premium finish of the phone. According to Icenevers leaks, Samsung has decided to leave this design for a more sophisticated look in favor of cleaner, flattery camera rings.

Major camera upgrade on the way?

The camera department may get a serious boost. Many sources have now claimed that the Galaxy Z fold 7 will have a 200-megapixel primary sensor, a major upgrade from the 50-megapixel main camera on the fold 6. This sensor has also been used in the first Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, a model limited to China and Korea and also in the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

The remaining rear cameras are expected to remain the same, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera and 10-megapixel telephoto lens. On the front, a 10-megapixel sensor is expected with a wide 100-degree area, possibly the same that has been seen in the new re-presented punch-hole format.

While Samsung has not officially confirmed these details, the continuity of leaks from many sources makes this information quite reliable.

New chipset?

On the performance front, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is likely to be powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip. It is a flagship-level processor and is expected to provide a top-level performance, especially when it comes to multitasking, gaming and running demanding apps on a foldable screen.

Battery specifications are still not clear, but given the thin form factor of the device, Samsung may need to optimize battery life through software and chip efficiency rather than only to increase the size of the battery.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: Price Expectations

For pricing, no specific leaks have yet been done. However, given that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 was launched in India for Rs 1,64,999, the fold 7 is expected to be in the same range. The device is not likely to jump a major price, given the premium cost already. Samsung will also be aware of India’s value-sensitive market, where major growth can affect sales. The company can live with its current pricing structure to remain competitive until the upgrade is seen adequately.
