Weâve been hearing a lot of Galaxy Z Fold 7 rumors lately, and it looks like theyâll soon be proven true or false with an official announcement from Samsung.
The company has posted a new teaser GIF that showcases a large phone-shaped device unfolding, which directly hints at the next Galaxy Z Fold. Whatâs most interesting, though, is how the word âUltraâ is used in Samsungâs press release, hinting that the Z Fold 7 could be part of the same family as the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
The Z Fold 7 is rumored to come with a boxy design and larger screens than the Z Fold 6. While we donât get all of that information from the GIF, itâs at least safe to say the phone will be boxy. In Samsungâs press release that coincides with the teaser, the company says the new foldable will usher in an âUltraâ experience to its foldable line.
Thatâs backed up by a mention of a âpowerfulâ camera. Put two and two together, couple it with the rumors weâve heard, and it seems like the Galaxy Z Fold 7 camera could get a massive upgrade. Weâve heard that the device could get a 200MP main camera, which doesnât seem impractical given that it was also used on the ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge. Samsung didnât confirm whether this is true in its teaser, but it certainly seems to be alluding to an upgrade of that magnitude.
Whether the Galaxy Z Fold 7 adopts the âUltraâ name is unclear, but it sounds like Samsung will be emphasizing the upgrades it includes on this yearâs Fold.
Notably, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 didnât get teased in the same post, but the GIF that Samsung shared is called âGalaxy-Z-Fold7-Z-Flip7-Pre-tease-Bartype_1920x1080â which essentially confirms both phones are right around the corner.
Samsung is rumored to release the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 sometime in July.
