The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has leaked again and this time it’s looking like the next-gen foldable smartphone could be the one to buy.
This new rumour, coming from an X post by @The Galox_ reveals that the new Fold 7 could come with the latest Samsung Galaxy One UI 8 out of the box.
It’s not just the software that’s getting an upgrade though as this new leak suggests we could see an upgraded under-screen camera, and much more too.
What’s with the camera?
Recent rumours have suggested that it’s worth waiting for the Z Fold 8, and for some camera fans that could still be the case. But this new rumour may sway you.
The key here is the camera. While the current model and next gen Fold 7 use under-display cameras, the Fold 8 may do away with that – which some may want.
However, it’s worth noting that this new claim suggests the UDC is getting an upgrade, which may just mean Samsung decides to keep that, should it be well recieved.
Screen upgrades
Now it looks like the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be coming with an upgraded display setup. Firstly that is thanks to a larger 8-inch inner display and a 6.5-inch outer screen – and a smaller crease for improved visuals.
These represent a big jump up from the Z Fold 6 screens at 7.6-inch and 6.3-inch displays.
This also could be better quality too, in terms of resilience. It is claimed that the display is going to be stronger with new layers that help to offer better protection. There should also be improved dust and water resistance as part of that build upgrade.
Despite all that, this model is expected to actually be thinner with a body that’s just 4.5mm unfolded.
Powerful specs
Powering all this, according to the new leak, will be the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy which is a custom build that should make this the fastest foldable yet from the company. And it’s allegedly backed by a larger vapor chamber to cool faster while running intensive tasks like gaming.
There are also apparently upgraded speakers and a new vibration motor that will make the listening and interacting experience even more premium.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 release date
Based on past Samsung announcement and release schedules, the new Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to launch in July 2025.
If the price stays the same that will mean it should cost $1,899.99.

Official Galaxy S25 Edge colors shown off in a convincing new leak
The Galaxy S25 Edge is perhaps the most exciting Samsung phone to launch this year. The thin-and-light phone is set to differ from the rest of Samsung’s phones in design with just two back cameras — in addition to its telling thickness. With its launch rumored to be a few weeks ago, we have a flurry of leaks showcasing the design and revealing the phone’s specification. The latest one adds to our knowledge of the Galaxy S25 Edge’s color variants.
In a fresh leak, the Galaxy S25 Edge can be seen in official-looking digital renders. Coinciding with previous leaks, the latest one from WinFuture showcases the S25 Edge in three colors: Jet Black, a faint Icy Blue, and the Silver, the last of which we might have seen in a leaked hands-on video from earlier this week.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra might serve camera tricks worth a long wait
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra is one of the most capable smartphone cameras out there, as long as your search is limited to the US shores. It’s a terrific performer, but the pace of camera innovation has somewhat slowed down, while the likes of Xiaomi 15 Ultra have truly lifted the game. Things might finally turn around for Samsung next year.
According to a fresh leak, Samsung is eyeing a handful of notable upgrades for the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s imaging hardware. Instead of a 10-megapixel short-range telephoto camera on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, its successor will reportedly shift to a larger 50-megapixel sensor.
Moreover, the optical zoom range might also get a lift, going from 3x to 3.5x zoom. Talking about zoom levels, the long-range periscope-style telephoto camera could also go from 5x to 8x optical zoom range, and a wider aperture to go with it. As usual, optical image stabilization will be available across the primary and zoom cameras.

The main camera on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is said to stick with a 200-megapixel unit, with an identical 1/1.3-inch sensor format and 0.6-micron pixel size. However, it could mark the return of an innovative aperture trick that Samsung introduced years ago.
Bringing back the variable aperture
Back in 2018, Samsung introduced the Galaxy S9 Plus with a novel camera trick. The main sensor on this one offered a variable aperture facility, allowing it to switch between f/1.5 and f/2.4 range. The Galaxy S26 Ultra could bring back the variable aperture system, and in a more capable fashion.
