Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7, Tri-Fold: Leaked Dates & Price

Get ready, foldable fans! Samsung is gearing up for its next major Galaxy Unpacked event, and leaks surrounding its highly anticipated lineup are flooding in. The upcoming stars – the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and a revolutionary tri-foldable device – are expected to launch sooner than many thought, and availability details, alongside surprising pricing rumors and key specs, are starting to surface.

The official unveiling is slated for July 9th in New York City. Here’s what recent reports suggest about when you might actually get your hands on these cutting-edge devices.

Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7: Hitting Shelves Soon

Following the big July 9th announcement, availability for the flagship Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 foldable smartphones is expected to follow swiftly.

According to recent leaks, both the Flip 7 and Fold 7 will become available to the general public in August. This places their retail release approximately one month after their debut on the Unpacked stage. Reports also indicate that a potential Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE model, rumored to be announced at the same July event, would likely become available at the same time as its standard Flip 7 sibling.

The Tri-Foldable Revolution: A Later Arrival

Samsung is also reportedly set to unveil its ambitious tri-foldable device, possibly named the Galaxy G Fold, at the July event. While it will share the spotlight, its availability window is separate.

Leaked information suggests the tri-foldable will become available for purchase later in the year, with current estimates pointing towards an October release. This aligns with Samsung’s plans for a staggered launch, introducing the tri-fold model shortly after its more conventional foldables.

The tri-foldable is expected to see a very limited initial release, targeting select markets first. Samsung is reportedly planning a relatively small production run of around 200,000 units initially, reflecting potentially conservative sales expectations due to the device’s anticipated high cost. Its successful performance in this limited run will likely determine the scope of a wider global launch later on. This innovative device is poised to directly challenge competitors like the Huawei Mate XT in the emerging multi-fold form factor space.

Beyond Availability: Price Surprises and Design Leaks

Availability isn’t the only aspect of Samsung’s new foldables seeing leaks. Recent reports have offered potentially surprising insights into pricing and key design changes:

Pricing Plot Twist: While earlier rumors hinted at price increases for both models, more recent and seemingly reliable leaks suggest a different story. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 could maintain a price point very close to its predecessor, while the Galaxy Z Flip 7 might actually launch at a lower price than the Z Flip 6, potentially dropping by around €100 in Europe (which could translate to other markets like the US). This potential price stability or reduction would be a significant development, especially given the rising costs and competitive landscape.
Premium Materials: Rumors suggest Samsung is incorporating titanium backplates into both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the tri-foldable device. This premium material choice is expected to contribute to lighter and more durable designs compared to previous generations.
Thinner Fold 7 Design: To achieve a significantly thinner profile, leaks indicate Samsung might remove the digitizer layer from the Galaxy Z Fold 7‘s display. This component is currently required for S Pen input, suggesting the Fold 7 might drop stylus support in favor of a sleeker build – a move reflecting a broader industry trend towards thinner devices seen in rivals like the Oppo Find N5.
Camera & Battery: While details are still emerging, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is anticipated to be a “massive leap” over the Fold 6. However, some leaks point to the battery capacity remaining the same 4,400 mAh with 25W wired charging, which could be a point of concern compared to some competitors. There are also conflicting rumors about a potential 200MP main camera similar to the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Leaked Colors: Even color options seem to have leaked! Based on a reported accidental listing on Samsung’s own site, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may come in Jet Black, Blue Shadow, and Silver Shadow, with a website-exclusive Green Mint. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 could launch in Jet Black, Blue Shadow, and Coral Red, also with a Green Mint exclusive option.

While rivals like the Oppo Find N5, Honor Magic V5, Google Pixel Fold, OnePlus Open, and Motorola Razr continue to push the boundaries in various areas like charging speed, thinness, or price accessibility, Samsung is banking on its expected hardware upgrades, the potential for stable or lower pricing (especially for the Flip), long-term software commitment (reportedly 7 years of updates), and the popularity of its One UI software to make the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and the groundbreaking tri-fold attractive options for consumers when they arrive later this year.
