Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs Galaxy Z Fold 6
A Korean YouTube channel named “TheSINZA” shared a comparison video between the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 6. Well, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is yet to make an official debut, but the YouTuber seems to carry a dummy unit of the smartphone. In the video, we can see a slimmer and wider Galaxy Z Fold 7 in comparison to its predecessor, showcasing a drastically refined design of the foldable.
Reportedly, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures 4.5mm in thickness when unfolded, and about 9 mm when folded. These numbers are significantly slimmer in comparison to the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s 5.6mm and 12.1 mm thickness. The new foldable is even slimmer than the Galaxy S25 Edge, which measures 5.8mm in thickness. Furthermore, Samsung is also expected to introduce bigger displays from 7.6-inch to 8.2-inch main displays.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 may also introduce a punch-hole style camera on the main foldable screen instead of an under-display camera like the Fold 6. While this may raise some concerns, it is anticipated that a punch-hole camera may improve the image quality as it will not include layers of the screen to capture a selfie.
Alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, we may also see other foldable phones such as the Vivo X Fold 5 and Honor Magic V5 in July. Therefore, these three foldable phones may give tough competition to each other in terms of design, performance, camera quality, and lasting battery life. Now, we simply have to wait and see which foldable smartphone dominates the market.
