What it’s good to know
- A consumer on Reddit posted a snapshot of Samsung’s promo materials for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which suggests it should sport a thinner profile.
- Elsewhere, a consumer picked up on the Fold 7’s alleged Thinborne case, and it appears the digicam bump/island protrudes even additional this time round.
- A earlier Fold 7 leak involved a consumer who allegedly bought their fingers on the telephone early, showcasing its triple cameras and wider type.
Samsung’s promotional run for its subsequent wave of foldable telephones would possibly’ve teased some design adjustments for the subsequent Fold.
A Redditor on the GalaxyFold’s subreddit posted a snapshot of Samsung’s deliberate promotional content material for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 (by way of 9to5Google). From the stand’s blown-up render, it appears the Korean OEM has succeeded in trimming down the subsequent book-style Fold. The machine is partly open on this shot, giving us a take a look at every half, which seems a lot thinner than the Fold 6.
The foldable nonetheless retains its rounded corners on the fitting half of its body. Nonetheless, one other focal point is its hinge.
The hinge, which may be answerable for giving a a lot bigger dimension to the foldable, would possibly’ve slimmed down barely for this subsequent iteration. With that, there’s an opportunity that when folded, the Fold 7’s shows will sit a lot nearer collectively, particularly towards the hinge. Sometimes, there is a little bit of a spot there on account of its performance, however Samsung might minimize this down much more than it did with its predecessor.
A Foldable Summer season… with a much bigger digicam bump?

Apart from that, one other GalaxyFold subreddit post by a separate user highlights a leaked take a look at an upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 case (by way of 9to5Google). Whereas it is a Thinborne case, the aim of this picture is the digicam bump and the way massive it appears to be. From the angled high view, issues seem fairly nominal. Nonetheless, when proven the aspect view, the Fold 7’s digicam bump protrudes fairly harshly from the again of the machine.
There’s one thing to notice right here: the Fold 7’s triple digicam array (in older leaked imagery) sits on an elevated island. Furthermore, the leaked case’s safety is probably going ever-so-slightly larger than the island to guard the lenses when set down.
Both method, as the unique poster notes, “The thickness of the digicam bump is sort of simply as thick because the telephone itself (in folded mode).”
One thing a bit of extra “concrete” to have a look at could be a latest leak from Could, as a user allegedly got their hands on the Fold 7 early. Wrapped in plastic, the consumer took a photograph of the machine in query, displaying off its triple digicam array with black rings, much like its previous model, and the course the Galaxy S25 has gone. It was unclear simply how massive Samsung’s digicam island for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be, however this newest leaked render from Reddit would possibly’ve given us all we have to know.
Greater than that, rumors declare the Fold 7 is roughly 4.5mm when unfolded, which is a bit thinner than the Fold 6’s ~5.6mm measurement.
The Fold 7 can also be purported to supply an enormous 200MP digicam, lastly transferring away from 50MP. Contemplating the digicam bump’s supposed enhance, these digicam upgrades might be the perpetrator, as we’ve seen Google discuss before with its Pixel 9.
