Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 7 is scheduled for release in mid-2025. While it’s still early, and details are scarce, whispers about a third camera and new display tech have surfaced. Take these early rumors with a pinch of salt, and stay tuned for updates as we learn more—especially after the next Z Flip model debuts this August.

When Will the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Be Released?

Samsung’s phones are on an annual release cycle, so the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 release date is almost guaranteed to mimic the upcomingGalaxy Z Flip 6 . That means Samsung will offer up the Z Flip 7 in 2025, most likely alongside the Z Fold 7.

The other clue that this phone is on the horizon is thatthe company has already registered the Galaxy Z Flip 7 name .

Lifewire’s Release Date Estimate

August 2025 is our best guess. This mid-year release trend has held for previous models, and we expect it to continue next year.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Price Rumors

This phone won’t come out for over a year, and the 2024 Z Flip isn’t here yet, so it’s too early to predict its price accurately. For now, we’ll refer to the pricing of the Z Flip 5 as a benchmark. Assuming Samsung introduces a new 1 TB model, here’s a potential pricing breakdown for the Samsung Z Flip 7:

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 (256 GB): $999.99
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 (512 GB): $1,119.99
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 (1 TB): $1,219.99

There might also be a more affordable model called the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE (Fan Edition). It would feature cheaper hardware, but the exact pricing details aren’t yet known. Our guess is somewhere around $750.

Pre-Order Information

Pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 are expected to begin immediately after the phone’s announcement duringSamsung Unpacked , likely around July 2025. We will provide the pre-order link here when it becomes available.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Features

We’ll know a lot more about what’s coming to this phone after Samsung debuts the Z Flip 6, so be sure to check back then.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Specs and Hardware

The latest Galaxy Z Flip phone features a main camera and an ultra-wide-angle camera. Based onpatents suggesting what Samsung is developing , the Z Flip 7 might introduce the lineup’s first telephoto camera. Another change is that the camera setup is stacked vertically instead of horizontally.

Unlike digital zoom, a telephoto camera lets you zoom in on faraway objects without losing image quality. It’s good for taking clear photos of things like wildlife from a distance. It also helps create that blurry background you see in professional portraits.

Currently, Samsung uses blue fluorescent materials in their displays, but this may change with the Galaxy Z Flip 7.The company is reportedly working on a PHOLED solution (phosphorescentOLED ), aiming to switch to a more efficient blue phosphorescent material, a change that has the potential to improve power efficiency.
