Is Samsung’s Latest Z Series the Thinnest Foldables Yet?

Samsung Sets a New Standard with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 are generating headlines not just for their innovation, but for their record-breaking thinness. With both devices expected to be the slimmest foldables Samsung has ever produced, they are redefining what’s possible in foldable phone engineering and everyday usability.

Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7: Redefining Thinness in Foldables

Since the introduction of foldables, Samsung has steadily improved hinge technology, display materials, and overall form factor. The 2025 Fold and Flip lineup takes that progress even further.

According to pre-launch reports:

  • The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to measure around 9 mm when folded and just 4.5 mm when unfolded.
  • The Galaxy Z Flip 7 may measure as little as 13.7 mm when closed, with a more compact hinge and slimmer bezels.

This makes both devices significantly thinner than their predecessors, the Fold 6 and Flip 6, which were already considered benchmarks in compact foldable design.

Why Thinness Matters in Foldable Devices

For foldables, thinness is more than an aesthetic achievement—it has direct implications for usability:

  • Portability: Slimmer devices fit more easily into pockets, bags, and small compartments.

  • Comfort: A thinner chassis is easier to hold and handle, especially during extended use.

  • Weight Reduction: Thinner frames typically weigh less, contributing to a more premium, lightweight feel.

  • Durability Challenges: Achieving thinness without compromising screen protection and battery life is a key engineering success.

Samsung appears to be addressing these challenges through improved materials, including reinforced ultra-thin glass (UTG), a compact redesigned hinge, and high-strength alloys for enhanced durability.

Key Enhancements of the Galaxy Z Fold 7

Despite being thinner, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to offer a larger and brighter 7.9-inch internal display with reduced bezels and an immersive visual experience. Key highlights may include:

  • Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 for Galaxy or equivalent chipsets

  • Upgraded triple-camera setup with improved zoom and night photography

  • Deeper Galaxy AI integration for multitasking and productivity

  • Extended battery performance and better thermal management

  • Android 16 with One UI 8 and extended update support

With all-day productivity in a slim, pocketable form, the Fold 7 is set to offer a premium experience without compromise.

Key Enhancements of the Galaxy Z Flip 7


The Flip 7 is also expected to undergo a significant transformation—internally and externally. With a thinner hinge and a nearly full-sized cover screen, Samsung is creating a truly usable flip phone.

Anticipated features include:

  • Full cover-screen functionality for widgets, messages, apps, and camera.

  • Refined dual-camera setup for high-quality photography and video.

  • A lighter build for easier handling.

  • Optimized battery and fast-charging enhancements.

  • Software support through Android 16 and One UI 8.

The Flip 7 is ideal for users seeking the perfect balance of performance, portability, and design appeal.

Samsung is expected to introduce a new foldable option in the form of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. This more accessible variant may offer slightly scaled-down specifications while preserving the core foldable experience. The Flip 7 FE is expected to feature a high-quality internal display, Galaxy AI tools, and competitive performance—making it a strong option for first-time foldable buyers.
