New Galaxy Z Fold 7 Render Shows Incredible Thinness
The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are almost here and as usual that means we're seeing a ton of leaks even before their official launch. Evan Blass, who's shared renders of both phones before, has some new images to show us.
These new images focus on an almost side profile to highlight how thin the Flip 7 and Fold 7 are going to be. As we’ve discussed before, the Z Fold 7 will apparently measure around 4.5mm if you include that protruding bezel and an incredibly svelte 3.9mm if you don’t. If you’re wondering why Samsung would exclude the bezel when measuring the thickness of the device, that would be because that’s what every OEM already does. For instance, Oppo’s Find N5 is marketed as being 4.2mm thick, but when measured is closer to 4.5mm. That gap comes down to how thick that bezel, which protects the screen from literally touching itself, is.
When closed, the Z Fold 6 will be just shy of 9mm thick, putting it right in range of the 8.2mm thick S25 Ultra. It’s said to also be around 215g which is actually lighter than Samsung’s flagship. To truly appreciate the jump in pocketablity, you need only look at last year’s Z Fold 6 which was 239g, 5.6mm when opened and 12.1mm when closed. Dropping from 5.6mm to possibly less than 4mm in one year is pretty damn impressive, even if the other specs might fall short for some.
Word is Samsung is still using the same 4,400mAh battery with the same 25w charging, likely fearing the use of new battery tech and the increased temperatures associated with faster charging in such a small form factor. On the bright side, we’ll be getting the Snapdragon 8 Elite, a new 200mp primary camera, an improved hinge, improved Ultra Thin Glass and S Pen compatibility isn’t going anywhere.
