Samsung will launch the three rumoured phones at the Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for Wednesday, July 9. The company will livestream the event on its YouTube channel starting 10 am ET (7:pm IST).




Galaxy Z Fold 7 rumoured features and specifications

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is said to be significantly thinner than its predecessors. According to the latest leaks by tipster Rolan Quandt, the phone will measure 4.2mm thick when unfolded and 8.9mm when folded. At 216 grams, it is expected to be the lightest book-style foldable phone yet.


The Fold 7 is expected to feature larger screens: a 6.5-inch outer display and an 8-inch inner display. It'll pack a 4,400mAh battery capacity – same as the Fold 6 and will be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC. Storage options are expected to include 256GB or 512GB, with a potential 1TB version in some markets. The main camera is rumoured to come with a 200MP sensor, and the phone will reportedly be available in blue, black and silver.


Galaxy Z Flip 7 rumoured features and specifications

The more compact Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also expected to bring changes, most notably a substantially larger 4.1-inch cover screen. The display is expected to wrap around the two camera lenses.


The Flip 7 is also tipped to be significantly thinner than previous models, despite a larger 4,300mAh battery—only slightly smaller than the Fold 7's. Storage options and colour choices will mirror those of its larger sibling, though the Flip 7 may feature a 50MP main camera.


Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE rumoured features and specifications

For those seeking a more budget-friendly foldable, the long-rumored Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE appears to be on the horizon. This "Fan Edition" model is said to offer 128GB and 256GB storage options and a slightly smaller 4,000mAh battery. It is expected to share the same screen sizes as the main Flip 7. The Flip 7 FE is reportedly launching only in black and white.


Reports of Galaxy Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic have also surfaced. These new smartwatches appear to adopt the "squircle" (square-circle) body design introduced with the Galaxy Watch Ultra.
