Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 is already going to be a big upgrade for its improved outer display, but it seems the device is also set to adopt a thinner overall profile based on the latest leaked image.
Posted in the latest newsletter by Evan Blass (@evleaks), this new image of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 doesn’t really show anything super new. We can see the star attraction, the bigger cover display, as well as the striking new blue color variant.
What caught our eye here is the thinner-looking design of the Flip 7, which wasn’t really expected.
The positioning of the device makes it look thinner, and we’re pretty sure that’s not just our imagination. If you look at the SIM tray here and compare it to the Galaxy Z Flip 6 (below), you can see that there’s less space between the top and bottom of the tray and the end of the Flip 7’s frame. Unless Samsung oddly made that tray thicker, this means that Flip 7 is going to be thinner.
That would be great news, as the Galaxy Z Flip series (and most flip phones, for that matter) has yet to focus on a thinner folded profile like the book-style foldables have.
It’s hard to say if this is true, though. Multiple previous leaks have narrowed down the thickness of the unfolded Galaxy Z Flip 7 as 6.84mm (or rounded to 6.9mm), which is right at the same dimension as Flip 6. It’s not unprecedented for these leaks to be wrong, and there was a huge mistake made in early Flip 7 leaks, but we wouldn’t bet on this device actually being thinner just yet.
Still, the thought of that upgrade is pretty enticing, and that’s why another recent leak is compelling.
Setsuna Digital on Weibo claims that Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be 13.7mm thick when closed, down from 14.9mm on the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Samsung has reservations open now for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, with a $50 credit when you pre-order and up to $1,150+ in savings. Reservations are free, and there’s no obligation to actually buy a device if you sign up, but there’s no other time you can get that $50 credit (which can go towards Galaxy Watch 8), 3x reward points, and other perks.
