The highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 appears set for an imminent reveal, and exciting new leaks are giving us a first look at the device’s potential color options and design ahead of its official launch. These renders, shared by a prominent leaker, offer valuable insights into what consumers can expect from Samsung’s next clamshell foldable phone.
Familiar Design, Expanded Cover Display
Based on the leaked renders, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 maintains the familiar and popular clamshell foldable form factor. While the overall aesthetic feels like a natural evolution, a significant design highlight visible in the images is the expanded cover display. This external screen appears to stretch fully from edge to edge, incorporating clean cutouts for the dual camera modules. This design approach mirrors that of recent generations of Motorola’s Razr foldable lineup, suggesting Samsung is embracing a larger, more functional outer screen experience.
Alongside the standard model, renders also surfaced for a rumored Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Positioned as potentially Samsung’s first budget-friendly foldable, aiming to compete with models like the base Motorola Razr, the FE variant depicted in the leaks appears nearly identical in design to the previous Galaxy Z Flip 6, notably featuring a smaller, folder-shaped cover screen rather than the larger one shown on the standard Flip 7.
A Splash of Color for the Galaxy Z Flip 7
While Samsung’s flagship S series phones have sometimes been criticized for conservative color palettes, the Galaxy Z Flip series has consistently offered a more vibrant selection. The leaked renders confirm this trend continues with the Z Flip 7, showcasing several lively shades.
The renders reveal three distinct color options for the Galaxy Z Flip 7:
Classic Black: The expected, staple color option.
Navy Blue: A deep, sophisticated blue hue.
Lovely Coral: A warm, eye-catching shade.
Interestingly, both the Navy Blue and Coral colors appear similar to options already introduced by Samsung this year with the Galaxy S25 and S25+ models (known as Navy and “Coralred” on those devices). While the leak only shows these three, the hope is that Samsung will offer a wider range at launch, building on the precedent set by the Galaxy Z Flip 6, which was available in seven different colors, including options like Mint, Yellow, Silver Shadow, Blue, and Samsung.com exclusives like Peach and White.
In contrast to the standard Z Flip 7, the leaked renders for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE showed a much more limited selection, appearing only in Black and White. If these are the only colors available for the FE model, it suggests a color strategy more akin to standard smartphones like Apple’s iPhone lineup than the diverse, often Pantone-partnered choices seen with rivals like the Razr series.
Beyond Colors: What Else to Expect from the Flip 7
While the leak focuses on design and colors, other rumors and research provide a broader picture of the potential upgrades coming to the Galaxy Z Flip 7:
Enhanced Displays: Rumors suggest the main folding display could see a slight size increase to 6.85 inches through slimmer bezels, while the expanded cover screen is expected to grow significantly to around 4 inches, boosting its usability. Peak brightness is likely to remain high, similar to the 2600 nits found on the Z Flip 6. Hopes also remain high for a less visible crease.
Improved Battery: The battery capacity is rumored to see an upgrade to 4,300 mAh, a notable increase over the Flip 6’s 4,000 mAh (which itself was an upgrade from the Flip 5). Charging speeds are expected to remain at 25W wired.
Performance: The device is anticipated to be powered by a high-end chipset, potentially the Snapdragon 8 Elite, ensuring smooth performance and support for Galaxy AI features similar to those on Samsung’s premium S series phones.
Durability: Building on the Flip 6’s improvements (which achieved an IP48 rating for dust and water resistance), the Flip 7 is expected to feature a strong build, reinforced hinge, and potentially further durability enhancements.
Camera: While the Z Flip 6 saw a significant jump to a 50MP main camera (up from the Flip 5’s 12MP), current leaks suggest the Z Flip 7 may retain a similar camera hardware setup (likely 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP selfie), potentially focusing on software optimizations.
Official Launch Details & Reservations
Samsung is expected to officially unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Galaxy Z Fold 7, and potentially other devices like the Galaxy Watch 8 series and new earbuds, at a Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled for July 9th in Brooklyn, New York.
Ahead of the launch, Samsung has already opened its obligation-free reservation program. By simply reserving through Samsung.com before July 8th, customers can secure a $50 credit towards eligible ecosystem purchases (like accessories) when they pre-order a new device after the event. Reservation holders are also entered into a drawing for a $5,000 Samsung credit and may receive bonus Samsung Rewards points. Potential trade-in savings of up to $1,150 are also being teased.
With the Unpacked event just around the corner, these vibrant leaked colors offer an exciting peek at the personal style options that may be available for Samsung’s next-generation clamshell foldable.
