Samsung’s eagerly awaited Galaxy Z Fold7 has officially passed FCC certification, confirming key details just weeks ahead of its expected unveiling in New York this July.
The international model, labeled SM-F966B, is confirmed to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which aligns with recent rumors suggesting this powerful processor will be standard worldwide for the Fold7.
Unlike its sibling, the Galaxy Z Flip7, which is rumored to introduce Samsung’s delayed Exynos 2500 chip in select regions, the Fold7 seems set to deliver a consistent experience globally. The FCC documents also reveal a host of modern connectivity features, including 5G, Wi-Fi 7, ultra-wideband (UWB), wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging support.
Display-wise, leaks suggest the Fold7 will feature a stunning 8.2-inch foldable AMOLED main screen with a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate, paired with a 6.5-inch full HD+ AMOLED cover display that also supports 120 Hz. Photography capabilities include a 200 MP main camera, a 12 MP ultrawide shooter, and a 10 MP telephoto lens offering 3x optical zoom. For selfies, there’s a 4 MP under-display camera on the foldable screen and a 10 MP punch-hole camera on the cover display. The device will be powered by a 4,400 mAh battery and come pre-installed with Android 16 layered under Samsung’s One UI 8 interface.
While the specs showcase Samsung’s ambition, some skepticism lingers around the practical benefits of a 200 MP sensor on a relatively small camera module, which critics argue may be more of a marketing highlight than a real-world advantage. Similarly, the 4,400 mAh battery capacity might feel modest compared to competitors, sparking debate about endurance in such a power-hungry device.
