Samsung is gearing up to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is being marketed as the thinnest and lightest foldable Galaxy phone to date.

Rumored to have a folded thickness of just 4.54mm, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is closely competing with the Oppo Find N5, currently the thinnest foldable at 8.9mm folded.

Despite its sleek design, the device is expected to retain the 4,400mAh battery from its predecessor, raising concerns about battery life, especially with a potential increase in display size from 7.6 inches to 8 inches.

While Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite processor may enhance performance and battery efficiency, the absence of newer silicon-carbon battery technology this year could limit improvements in battery life.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra is anticipated to feature significantly improved camera capabilities, including a 200MP primary camera.

There is a preference for a large 200MP sensor without additional zoom or ultrawide lenses, focusing on digital enhancements instead.

This 'Ultra experience' is expected to integrate an AI system that enhances mobile photography and user interaction.

Samsung's latest press release highlights that the camera will be capable of understanding and responding to what users are looking at, thereby enhancing the photographic experience.

The AI camera is also expected to offer intuitive features, such as identifying objects and providing relevant information or actions based on its observations.

Samsung has reassured users that privacy will be a core aspect of the camera experience, emphasizing data protection across all features.

Despite the excitement surrounding the Z Fold 7, some skepticism remains regarding whether it will effectively address the major flaws found in previous Fold models.

While the exact launch date for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is still unclear, an Unpacked event is anticipated in July 2025.
