- Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be thinner, lighter and more durable than the previous model
- The company also seems to be saying that the same will be true for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7
- As expected, it is also said that these phones are the most advanced folds of the company
We hope that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be presented in July, but before that, Samsung is already mocking these devices, and a new blog post gives us an idea of what to expect from their designs.
A publication in Samsung’s writing room specifically establishes that “the newest series of Galaxy Z is the thinnest folding, lighter and lighter so far.”
Then, in other words, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be thinner and lighter than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, and although the article seems focused on the fold, says ‘Galaxy Z’ instead of ‘Galaxy Z fold’, which suggests that the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 will also be probably more renovating and lumbar than Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Samsung does not become specific about how thin and light, but leaks have suggested that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 could have only 3.9 mm thick when it unfolds and 8.2 mm or 8.9 mm thick when they fold. That is less than 5.6 mm and 12.1 mm for folding Z 6 when it unfolds and folds respectively. The Z Fold 6 is also 239 g, so the Galaxy Z Fold 7 should be lighter than that.
Before today, we had not heard any report from the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 being thinner, but, as a reference, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 has 6.9 mm thick when it unfolds and 14.9 mm when folding, and weighs 187 g.
Built to last
In addition to being thinner and lighter than their predecessors, Samsung’s next folding will also be more advanced and more durable according to this publication.
It would be surprising if they were not more advanced, but hearing that they are ready to be more durable is reassuring, since folding phones are inherently quite fragile.
Once again, Samsung does not become specific to how durability will be improved, but leaks have suggested that both the Samsung Galaxy Z fold 7 and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 could have a more durable hinge mechanism, while the first one could also have a better water resistance and a posterior plaque of resistant titanium.
We should find out exactly what Samsung updates has planned soon, since the leaks suggest that both phones could land on July 10.
