Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 rumored to launch this summer with familiar specs

April 18, 2025

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is reportedly just around the corner. The foldable flagship is expected to launch in summer 2025, but from what we know so far, the changes might not be as major as some were hoping for. This article will discuss everything about the latest Galaxy Z Fold 7, including its expected price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 Overview

Launch Timeline

Samsung is likely releasing the Z Fold 7 sometime in mid-2025, with the U.S. model listed as SM-F966U. If things follow the usual cycle, we’ll see it in about three months.

Performance and Software

The Z Fold 7 will ship with Snapdragon 8 Elite, a higher-clocked “for Galaxy” version of Qualcomm’s flagship chip. This is the same chip expected in the Galaxy S25 lineup. It sticks with 12GB of RAM, the same as last year. Some expected a bump to 16GB, but that seems unlikely now. The phone will boot with Android 16 layered with One UI 8.

Display and Design

You’re getting a 7.6-inch foldable Dynamic AMOLED main display at 2160 x 1856 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The outer display is 6.3 inches, same 120Hz, and covered with Gorilla Glass Victus 2. The size and specs feel almost identical to last year’s Fold 6.

To be honest, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 was quite a phone, although there was a fair bit of disappointment. Many felt it didn’t offer much of an upgrade over the Z Fold 5. And it seems like Samsung is repeating the same play here.

Battery and Charging

Battery capacity stays at 4400mAh. Charging remains 25W wired and 15W wireless. No visible effort to push beyond that.

Camera Setup

Rear setup will likely include a 50MP main, a 10MP telephoto (3x optical zoom, 66mm) and a 12MP ultra-wide. The inner screen still has a 4MP under-display selfie camera. Same hardware, as far as we can tell.

Foldables Aren’t Just Samsung Anymore

But Samsung is no longer alone in this space. The foldable scene is packed now. Honor makes what’s currently the slimmest foldable. Oppo’s Find N5 made serious noise this year with its compact form factor. And Pixel Fold was praised everywhere for its usability and camera. So while Samsung helped shape the category, the competition has caught up—and in some areas, even pulled ahead.

This makes the Fold 7 feel even more underwhelming. At a time when competitors are pushing boundaries, Samsung seems to be playing it safe.
