First look? Alleged Galaxy Z Fold 7 leak shows wide cover hands-on

Published

Samsung Galaxy Internet browser Beta update

Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 this July, but an image leak just revealed a wide cover display and hands-on of one of the upcoming foldables. The device seems real, which could have been supplied to a portion of users for evaluation.

The image leak shows a hands-on of an alleged Galaxy Z Fold 7 from its camera side. The camera sensor placement is quite similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Samsung has also adjusted the LED flash placement, bringing it around the middle of the bump.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 apparently adopted S25 Ultra-like, slightly rounded corners. The leaked colorway also matches the signature hue of the S25 Ultra. The in-hand feel, in image, points to a wider cover screen experience.

Not much, but Samsung is redefining the cover screen experience with its next Fold model. The outer screen of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is going to be 6.5 inches, up from the 6.3-inch panel that debuted in the Galaxy Z Fold 6 last year.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to embrace larger screen panels. The cover could be 6.5 inches, while the inner display could be approximately 8.2 inches. The next Fold could be slimmest in the segment over all the market rivals.

Samsung could unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 in early July this year. The new foldables will debut modern chipsets (Snapdragon 8 Elite in Fold, Exynos 2500 in Flip), battery efficient screens and new Android 16 pre-installed.

For thickness and weight reduction, the company has reportedly adopted an internal hinge made of Titanium. It’s coming to the next Fold model and probably the Tri-Fold after successful deployment in last year’s Special Edition Fold.

Galaxy S25 Edge uses Samsung battery, unlike S25 Ultra

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

Samsung SDI is the sole initial supplier of the Galaxy S25 Edge battery. The company leans on its SDI business for the batteries of its latest slim phone. It’s a strategic change from the Galaxy S25 series’ initial battery supplies.

Notably, Samsung sourced batteries for the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra from Samsung SDI and China’s ATL. The Chinese vendor was also included in the initial supplies, while the unit volume was comparatively lower than SDI.

Samsung SDI supplied Galaxy S25 Edge battery

Korea’s TheElec reports that Samsung sourced the Galaxy S25 Edge battery from Samsung SDI. The division is the sole supplier for the initial units, and the company may join China’s ATL for the units to be produced in the future.

While Samsung favors SDI, it also trades with China’s ATL and BYD, as well as Korea’s LG Energy Solution. While the suppliers are diverse, there’s no need to worry about quality, as every component is tested by Samsung.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge uses a 3900mAh battery. It’s smaller than the Galaxy S25’s 4000mAh battery due to reduced thickness (5.8mm). However, the company claims the device offers all-day battery life despite its small size.

A recent early hands-on test showed that the Galaxy S25 Edge offers comparatively similar battery life to the Galaxy S25. With optimized software, the S25 Edge is expected to match the battery life of the vanilla Galaxy S25 model.

Looking forward

Samsung could adopt a new battery technology in future Galaxy flagships. The company is considering the same battery tech that debuted with the iPhone 16 Pro Max. It is aimed at complying with EU regulations for replaceable batteries.

While it’s not the anticipated solid-state battery, the new solution may offer even longer-lasting backup. However, the new battery has a drawback of being thick due to abandoning the pouch-like packaging mechanism.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, Tri-Fold to embrace Titanium for slim and lightweight design

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 and Fold6 Size Comparison

Samsung may expand the use of Titanium to its Galaxy Z Fold7 and Tri-Fold devices. A new report indicates that the company is considering replacing the backplate material to make its new foldables slimmer and lightweight.

According to TheElec, Samsung may use a Titanium backplate in the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Tri-Fold. Replacing the conventional backplate material with Titanium will help the company in making sleek and lighter foldables.

It comes after the brand experimented with the new Galaxy Z Fold SE solution last year. This key component, made of Titanium, unlocks the potential of reducing the thickness and weight without compromising on durability.

The backplate (internal hinge) is a key component in Samsung’s foldable smartphones. This solution acts as a support between the foldable panel and the hinge. It adds etching processes to the folding parts to help the hinge operate.

Despite being difficult to process, Samsung is expected to rely on a Titanium internal hinge. The move is aimed at installing the internal hinge, which is thin, light, yet strong, targeting the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy G Fold (Tri-Fold).

Removal of the digitizer in the Galaxy Z Fold SE helped Samsung reduce the thickness by 0.6mm. However, it ditched S Pen input support from the device, which seems unlikely in this year’s mainstream foldable model.

The Z Fold7 is said to be nearly 9mm thick when folded and 4mm when unfolded. The cover and inner displays would also be larger than its predecessor. For the future Fold model, Samsung Display has been developing a digitizer-less S Pen panel.

The Korean tech giant may launch the new foldable phones this Summer. Reports point to July Unpacked for the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 unveiling. However, Samsung hasn’t yet confirmed tentative dates for the foldable debut.

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE outguns S25 Edge with Telephoto camera, leak reveals

Published

Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus

Samsung Galaxy S25 FE will retain full camera hardware, including a Telephoto sensor. The recently launched Galaxy S25 Edge is impressively slim but dropped a dedicated zoom sensor and significant juice from the battery pack.

A new report from GalaxyClub reveals the Telephoto camera of the Galaxy S25 FE. While the leaked detail has nothing to surprise, the Fan Edition is set to keep the advantage over Samsung’s slim and pricier Edge variant.

It’s reported that the Galaxy S25 FE will bring an 8-megapixel Telephoto camera. The sensor will deliver 3x optical and up to 30x digital zoom. It’s a boring input as we’ve been seeing the same image sensor for record fourth time in a row.

Similar to the Galaxy S24 FE, Samsung’s upcoming S25 FE may have a 50-megapixel primary, 12-megapixel ultrawide, and an 8-megapixel Telephoto camera. Samsung may improve the photography experience with AI-powered camera features.

The same source broke the news about an upgraded selfie camera. The Galaxy S25 FE is expected to match parent models with a new 12MP front camera. That said, only front camera is getting upgraded to a new solution, others are intact.

Geekbench listing revealed that the Galaxy S25 FE could be powered by the Exynos 2400 chip globally. It’s a minor upgrade over the S24 FE’s Exynos 2400, but delivers decent performance, battery life and AI capabilities.

As for the other cameras, the Galaxy S25 FE should feature a 50MP main shooter and a 12MP ultrawide lens. Samsung is also saving a processor upgrade for another day — the Galaxy S24 FE’s Exynos 2400e chip will power the S25 FE as well.

Samsung says Galaxy S25 Edge was in development since 2023, not inspired by iPhone 17 Air

Published

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

The launch timeline of the Galaxy S25 Edge and iPhone 17 Air makes us believe that Samsung and Apple’s slim phones are influenced by each other. However, Samsung’s official statement doesn’t align with what we all assume.

Galaxy S25 Edge went official this week, with US sales set to start later this month. Samsung’s new slim flagship sits between the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra in terms of pricing and specs, but sleek design comes at the cost of battery and Telephoto.

Apple hasn’t yet announced the iPhone 17 Air, but it’s highly likely to be introduced this September. The device is unlikely to come out as a new segment, but replace the Plus model, which typically sells less than the other models.

Galaxy S25 Edge idea hasn’t “just arrived”

Samsung’s Kadesh Beckford stated that the Galaxy S25 Edge belongs to an idea that came in 2023, via Forbes. The executive claimed to have info about this device category at the time of Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip5.

While no one demanded a sleek phone, Samsung revealed a portion of users want Ultra specifications without a bulky build or design. It inspired the developers to innovate a featherlight and slim device with monster specifications.

The creation of Galaxy S25 Edge required intense tailoring of internal components. Engineers were required to revisit the component strategy so a 200-megapixel camera, decent battery, and large display could be fitted in a thinner chassis.

Also, the Galaxy S25 Edge landed in the market before the iPhone 17 Air. Rumors point to major specs differences between both devices, indicating that Samsung’s slim model has a sharp edge over Apple’s in terms of key specifications.
