Leaked renders suggest Samsung’s Z Fold 7 is getting much thinner – The Verge

Renders based on leaks show that Samsung’s next foldable won’t be the thinnest around, but it won’t be far off either.Renders based on leaks show that Samsung’s next foldable won’t be the thinnest around, but it won’t be far off either.by Dominic PrestonIt looks like Samsung may have an answer to Oppo’s Find N5 after all, as new leaks claim that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will only be fractionally thicker than the world’s thinnest foldable. That’s according to renders created by OnLeaks based on leaked information.OnLeaks, together with Android Headlines, reports that the Z Fold 7 will be just 4.5mm thick when open. The Find N5 — currently the world’s thinnest book-style foldable — is 4.2mm thick, and the previous record-holder, Honor’s Magic V3, is 4.4mm. That would put Samsung right up there with the global competition, and make this quite comfortably the thinnest foldable phone in the US. Its Z Fold 6 is 5.6mm thick, and Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold runs to 5.1mm. The OnePlus Open is the thickest at 5.8mm, and the company has already confirmed it has no plans for a new foldable model this year.The Z Fold 7’s dimensions when closed are a little less clear. The report says that the phone will be 9.5mm thick counting the camera bump, and closer to 9mm without, but that doesn’t make much sense: the camera bump itself is clearly more than 0.5mm thick, protruding quite extensively from the body in the new images, even more so than on previous models.Interestingly, the Z Fold 7 sounds bigger in its other dimensions, with a larger 8.2-inch inner screen and a 6.5-inch outer one, which will be wider than the previous generation. That might be how Samsung has reportedly been able to fit the same size 4,400mAh battery into a thinner design.Elsewhere, Android Headlines predicts that the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, and boast a new 200-megapixel main camera, alongside the same 10-megapixel telephoto and 12-megapixel ultrawides as the Z Fold 6.It’s expected to launch in July 2025 together with the Galaxy Z Flip 7. Recent rumors had suggested that Samsung would use the same event to announce its first trifold phone, though that’s far from certain: leaker Max Jambor took to Twitter today to claim that the trifold will instead launch “at a later point in time.”A weekly newsletter by David Pierce designed to tell you everything you need to download, watch, read, listen to, and explore that fits in The Verge’s universe.© 2025 Vox Media, LLC.
