Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Rumoured to Be the World's Thinnest Foldable

New leaks are fuelling excitement around the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, which is rumoured to break every previous thinness record for book-style foldables. If the information proves accurate, the device will measure just 8,2 millimetres thick when folded, outdoing not only its predecessor but also every competing device on the market.

Initial estimates suggested the Fold7 would measure 9,5 millimetres thick when folded and 4,5 millimetres when fully unfolded. The latest information, however, indicates that Samsung has managed to slim the device down even further, setting new design standards for foldables. If this rumour is confirmed, the Galaxy Z Fold7 will surpass even the Oppo Find N5, currently considered the thinnest in its class at 8,9 millimetres thick.

This development marks an impressive leap for Samsung, which appears to be surpassing even its own efforts. For example, the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, which until now has led the company's line-up in thinness and elegance, measures 10,6 millimetres thick — considerably thicker than the latest estimates for the Fold7.

Beyond its design, the Fold7 is expected to feature significant hardware upgrades. Leaks suggest a 200MP main camera, accompanied by a 10MP telephoto lens and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. The inner display could grow to 8 inches from 7,6, while the outer display is also said to be increasing to 6,5 inches from 6,3. The device will be powered by the top-of-the-range Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset.

However, these improvements will come at a cost. The Fold7 is reportedly set to cost 100 euros more than the previous model, while no pricing information is currently available for the smaller Flip7.
