Plenty of Samsung rumors shed light on potential upgrades of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. This year, the company is set to diversify its foldable lineup with the addition of new form factors and offerings to extend the user base.

Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 with some minor yet shocking upgrades. The company’s first affordable flip smartphone may also join the Fold 7 and Flip 7, likely to be unveiled around July this year.

Several rumors suggest potential upgrades in display, camera capabilities, and design refinements. The upcoming Samsung foldables could flaunt highly efficient displays, offering lower power consumption and improved battery life.

The Z Fold 7 running Snapdragon 8 Elite has secured a battery life increase of around 55 minutes in internal testing. The current prototype device also boasts a 200MP camera sensor, however, it’s not confirmed to be commercialized.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 could feature only minor design changes, possibly including a flat frame and camera rings similar to its predecessor. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is rumored to receive more substantial upgrades.

The phone’s hinge may be improved by a new structure along with a less visible crease. This model may also get a more efficient display, new flexible glass, ProScaler technology, a larger vapor chamber, and a next-gen ProVisual Engine.

It could also support slightly faster charging at 25W speed, and a thinner body. Interestingly, the Z Flip 7’s crease is rumored to be less noticeable than the Z Fold 7, while both models could boast the next-gen Armor Aluminum frames.

At the Unpacked event last month, Samsung teased the tri-fold as a future product. The device is expected to be released later this year or early next year. A new leak sheds light on the Samsung Galaxy G Fold (Tri-Fold) phone’s availability and crease.

According to the info, Samsung may not launch the Galaxy G Fold (Tri-Fold) in all countries. It could follow the same approach as the Galaxy Z Fold SE. The crease may also have no improvements over the existing flip and fold models.

The leaker didn’t reveal specific markets where the tri-fold could go on sale. The phone’s cost may limit its sales scope, while durability remains to be the biggest concern. Samsung has reportedly planned a very limited production run.

Huawei is set to globally launch the Mate XT tri-foldable phone tomorrow. The Chinese phone maker is bringing its epic innovation outside mainland China. Samsung’s tri-fold may have a different foldable design method than Huawei’s.

Samsung has reportedly opted for a dual inward foldable design. Huawei’s Mate XT was accused of display damage complaints in the initial days of sales. Samsung’s development is centered on offering a durable and efficient product.

Meanwhile, the company is planning to launch three foldable phones around July this year. Rumors suggest that an affordable Flip phone would be made official alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7.

During the earnings call, Samsung promised a diverse set of foldables this year. Even though the tri-fold misses its rumored Q4 debut, the product isn’t far now and Samsung would indeed impress the industry with its Mate XT killer.

Apple will launch new flagship iPhones in the third quarter. This year, the company is expected to replace the Plus model with a new Air variant. New information sheds light on Apple’s M14 OLED display decision for the iPhone 17 series.

A rumor suggests that Apple may use Samsung’s M14 OLED display across the iPhone 17 lineup. The company may launch four iPhone models in the third quarter including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The iPhone maker is expanding the adoption of Samsung’s best screen technology. This would bring the vanilla and Air models closer to the Pro series. The upgraded screen supports increased brightness and color production.

While Apple is expanding the adoption of modern displays, Samsung has skipped the M14 OLED on the Galaxy S25 series. The new Galaxy flagships reportedly use the same OLED as the S24 series featured M13 material set.

Samsung has notably improved the display’s performance but it can’t fill the gap left by hardware differences. AI ProScaler plays a key role in elevating the display experience but the Galaxy S25 series should have adopted the latest M14 OLED.

Well, Samsung Display is going to significantly benefit from this move. M14 is the latest OLED screen technology developed by Samsung. It was featured in Google’s Pixel 9 series and Apple iPhone 16 Pro models last year.

Last month, Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Ultra smartphone along with several new features but without Bluetooth support for the S Pen. Now, a recent teardown of the Galaxy S25 Ultra has revealed an unexpected disappointment for fans of the S Pen.

The S Pen of the Galaxy S25 Ultra still has a circuit board designed for Bluetooth functionality, but the necessary Bluetooth components are missing. This follows earlier reports that the phone has a charging coil, which would be needed for a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen, even though it isn’t powered.

The teardown was done by iFixit, who used a Lumafield’s Neptune CT scanner to look inside the S Pen. It reveals that the layout of the S Pen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra is almost identical to the one in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, the main Bluetooth parts, such as the capacitor needed for charging, are completely missing in the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s model.

This is too surprising because earlier leaks showed that the Galaxy S25 Ultra could work with a Bluetooth-enabled S Pen. Many users were excited about the possibility of having features like remote camera controls and Air Actions. Now, it looks like Samsung is fully removing the Bluetooth support for S Pen.

But why did Samsung remove Bluetooth support from the Galaxy S25 Ultra S Pen? There may be two reasons. The first reason is that Samsung might have decided to cut costs or found that people weren’t using the Bluetooth features enough. Another is that Samsung is saving this functionality for a future premium S Pen accessory.

Currently, it is not clear but we can expect more information about S Pen Bluetooth support in the future. Stay tuned.

It will feature a 6.6-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Moreover, it will pack with a 50MP main camera, 12MP front camera, and 5000mAh battery.
