Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 launch: What to expect

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to be the slimmest fold ever as we may get some design refinements. While a slimmer model may excite many, but it comes at a cost of compromises on crucial features. According to a GSMArena report, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to be 4.9mm thick when unfolded and 10.6mm when folded. This showcases a massive reduction in comparison to Galaxy Z Fold 6 5.6mm thickness. However, these design upgrades may come at a cost of limitation in S Pen capabilities. Reports suggest that Samsung may remove some of the S Pen features, but as of now it is unsure which features will be removed.

Apart from the slimness, an industry analyst Ross Young highlighted that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will reportedly feature a 6.49-inch cover display which is similar to Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition. Additionally, Samsung has reportedly worked on the display crease as well and it is expected to be almost invisible.
