Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 Leak with Record-Breaking Slim Designs

Samsung is poised to launch its sleekest foldables yet – the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 – and leaks are already painting a detailed picture. The Fold7 will reportedly measure just 8.9mm when folded and 4.2mm unfolded, making it the thinnest book-style foldable so far.

That slightly edges out vivo’s X Fold5, which comes in at 9.2mm folded and 4.3mm unfolded. But Samsung’s reign might be brief, with Honor’s Magic V5 lurking just around the corner at a svelte 8.8mm folded.

More than just shaving millimeters, the Fold7 will introduce a sturdier build with an upgraded armored aluminum frame and a ceramic glass back – likely to appeal to users frustrated with past durability issues. That said, slimmer doesn’t always mean better for everyone. Several users have pointed out that width and grip comfort matter more in daily use, especially for those on the go who rely on one-handed use while commuting or working.

As for the Z Flip7, it’s expected to hit 13.7mm folded and 6.5mm unfolded while weighing in at 188 grams – making it the lightest and thinnest flip-style foldable to date. And while some online are quick to dismiss flip phones as “gimmicky,” the sales figures suggest otherwise. Flip phones, particularly from Samsung and Motorola, consistently outsell their larger foldable siblings.

Durability remains a point of debate. Some users recall screen protector issues in older Z Flip models, while others swear by the ruggedness of Samsung’s standard Galaxy flagships. There’s also criticism toward tech media’s selective memory – for instance, some felt the vivo Find N5’s 8.8mm folded thickness was unfairly left out of the comparison.

Ultimately, the Fold7 and Flip7 represent Samsung’s push to refine its foldables into everyday, usable tools – not just futuristic eye candy. Whether that means thinner, lighter, or more durable depends entirely on who you ask. But it’s clear these foldables aren’t just flexing – they’re fighting to become mainstream.
