Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Hands-On Leak Reveals Samsung’s Thinnest Foldable Yet with AI Power & 200MP Camera – Is This the Ultra Reimagined?
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 hands-on leak reveals Thinnest Foldable with Stunning Redesign. Here’s Why This Might Be Samsung’s Boldest Fold Yet.
Samsung’s next-gen foldable mystery is busted with the first hands on look. The official-looking dummy units, leaked renders, and celebrity hands-on teases are now circulating across the web
And we finally have a clear look at what the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is shaping up to be. And this doesn’t look just a minor update.
Thinner, Lighter & Sleeker
When placed next to its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold 6, the Z Fold 7 instantly grabs attention. The difference in thickness looks very clear and loud. It’s measurable and meaningful.
According to hands-on comparisons from credible sources including TechTalkTV and The Sinza, we could see the following difference
- Folded thickness: ~9.0mm (vs ~12.1mm in Fold 6)
- Unfolded thickness: A jaw-dropping 4.5mm
- Weight: Approx. 215g, down from 236g (Fold SE)
This design breakthrough makes the Z Fold 7 Samsung’s slimmest and lightest foldable to date, finally addressing long-standing complaints about bulk and one-handed usability.
This shift mirrors competitive momentum seen in foldables like the OPPO Find N5 Flip and Huawei’s secret tri-fold phone, showing just how much the segment is evolving.
200MP AI Camera Takes Center Stage – But There’s a Twist
Samsung is reportedly arming the Z Fold 7 with a massive 200MP primary camera sensor. This is similar to what we’ve seen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra lineup.
But it’s not just about megapixels. With the inclusion of Galaxy AI, the camera system is expected to:
- Enhance low-light photography with scene detection
- Offer real-time editing suggestions
- Allow voice-assisted framing and video reframing via AI
And in a somewhat surprising move, Samsung has ditched the under-display camera on the inner screen . This is a bold design reversal.
While it does reintroduce a noticeable front-facing hole-punch. Many see this as a worthwhile trade-off for better selfie quality and improved panel durability.
Mid-range devices like the Vivo T4 Ultra and Vivo X200 FE are also leveraging AI photography to stand out signaling a wider trend.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 Comes with New Colors, New Confidence
Beyond the form factor, Samsung is getting bolder with color choices. While Jet Black and Silver Shadow offer the expected premium vibe, the Blue Shadow variant is generating the most buzz.
Think rich metallic undertones, vibrant yet elegant. This seems a serious departure from the conservative tones of previous Galaxy Folds.
OnePlus is adopting a similar bold aesthetic in its design-first 13s launch, suggesting a clear shift in flagship identity across brands.
Powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy
Underneath the premium exterior, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset is set to run the show. While benchmark results haven’t leaked fully yet, early reports suggest:
- Up to 20% better thermal performance
- AI-assisted battery management and image processing
- 7-10% boost in real-world multitasking vs the Fold 6
With such upgrades, the Fold 7 may finally feel as smooth and efficient as a non-foldable flagship.
This trend echoes in rivals like the Xiaomi 16, which may debut Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for ultra-premium performance.
Ultra Branding & Bigger Outer Display?
Samsung has already teased the phrase: “Next Chapter of Ultra,” fueling speculation that the Fold 7 might be part of a larger Ultra strategy.
You might also like to note the cover display is now rumored to be around 6.5 inches, up from 6.2″ in the Fold 6. This makes it much more usable like a regular smartphone.
This aligns with Samsung’s premium push also seen in leaks around the Galaxy S26 Ultra, where expectations are sky-high for advanced usability and flagship power.
Galaxy AI is Creatively Empowering
Similar to the Galaxy S25 series, the Fold 7 is expected to launch with Google AI Pro bundled for 6 months (valued at ₹1,599/month in India or $19.99 globally). This includes:
- Chat V3: Advanced creative writing, social captioning, prompt generation
- Flow AI Film Studio: Turn ideas into AI-generated short films
- Instant Video Recut + Voice Cloning for storytelling
This bundle positions the Fold 7 not just as a productivity tool, but as a creator’s dream device.
Affordable flagships like the Vivo T4 Lite 5G are also expected to benefit from AI integration, highlighting how widespread the tech has become.
