The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is probably landing soon, with Samsung holding a big event on July 9, and we’re also hearing that this could be a major upgrade on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Rumored highlights include a new 200MP camera, a powerful new chipset, and bigger screens.
But that’s not all, so read on below for all the key rumored specs, along with educated guesses for aspects that haven’t yet been leaked.

You can see the rumored and predicted Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 specs in the chart above, but the single biggest and most exciting upgrade we might get on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is a new 200MP main camera.
This would replace the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6’s 50MP main camera, and is likely to be the same sensor as is found on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
We’ve heard this claim quite a few times now so there’s a good chance it will happen, and it would be a very desirable upgrade, given that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, 5, and 6 have all had 50MP main cameras.
Also on the camera front, it has been reported that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 could have an upgraded under-display camera. The source doesn’t specify what those improvements will be, but the Galaxy Z Fold 6 just has a 4MP one, so perhaps there will be more megapixels.
However, according to one source, the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s other rear cameras won’t be upgraded, meaning we’d see a return of the Z Fold 6’s 12MP ultra-wide and 10MP telephoto (with 3x optical zoom). And at the very least it will probably once again have three rear cameras, especially now a leaked photo of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with that many lenses has emerged.
We’ve also heard that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 could have a 10MP front-facing camera, which might also be no change, since one of the Z Fold 6’s front-facing sensors is already 10MP.
But even if some lenses are unchanged, the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s camera software might be improved, allowing for better photo quality. This could make a big difference, as Samsung is reportedly set to focus on camera improvements at the Z Fold 7’s launch.
Moving on to the screens, and these could be in for an upgrade – or at least an increase in size, with sources suggesting the Z Fold 7’s main display could be either 8 or 8.2 inches, with 8.2 inches looking most likely, while the cover screen could be 6.5 inches. That’s up from 7.6 and 6.3 inches respectively on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
There’s no word yet on the resolution, but we’d expect that will match or exceed the Z Fold Special Edition’s, given the reportedly similar display sizes, meaning a resolution of at least 1968 x 2184 for the foldable screen and a resolution of 1080 x 2520 for the cover screen. We’d also expect that both screens would have a 120Hz refresh rate, since that’s the case on the current model.
The other big upgrade we’re expecting on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is its chipset, with reports suggesting the Snapdragon 8 Elite will be used.
That’s the chipset you’ll find in the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, and it’s exactly what we’d expect to see, since it’s the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 used by the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. It’s also a chipset that should help you make the most of AI on the phone, and the Z Fold 7 is even rumored to come with a free Google AI Pro subscription to help with that.
That new chipset could be joined by a larger vapor chamber, so performance may get a big boost. However, we’re not expecting an increase in RAM, with multiple sources pointing to 12GB again. One source does point to 16GB though at the top end, so we can’t totally rule that out.
Storage is also reportedly staying the same, with 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB models supposedly planned.
Finally, there’s the battery, and that sadly isn’t thought to be increasing in size either, with a 4,400mAh battery tipped for the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. That size has even now been spotted in a Galaxy Z Fold 7 certification, so it seems likely to be accurate.
However, the display is apparently more efficient, which could lead to improved battery life even if the battery itself isn’t any bigger this year.
We haven’t heard what speeds the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 might charge at, but the Galaxy Z Fold 6 supports 25W wired and 15W wireless charging, so we’d expect at least that. And one leak does point to new charging tech for the Z Fold 7, so there’s a chance it could charge faster.
