What’s New in the Galaxy Z Flip 7?

- Coral Red
- Blue Shadow
- Jet Black
Exynos 2500 Chip: A First for Flip Series
For the first time, Samsung may ditch Qualcomm and use its in-house Exynos 2500 chip equivalent to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. This could offer:
- Improved heat management
- Better battery efficiency
- Support for satellite messaging (a rumored addition)
Camera and Battery
The camera setup may not change drastically:
- 50MP main + 12MP ultrawide on the rear
- 10MP front camera
- New AI tools like object eraser for photo editing
Samsung is likely to equip the Flip 7 with a larger 4,300mAh battery a noticeable boost over the Flip 6’s 4,000mAh unit along with 25W fast charging support. Combined with One UI 7 and the new chip, it should offer all-day battery life.
Expected Price in India
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is likely to retain the same pricing as the Flip 6, starting at around ₹1.10 lakh. A more affordable Flip 7 FE is also rumored, using the older Exynos 2400e chip and offering a budget-friendly foldable option.
Launch & Availability
Samsung will officially launch the Flip 7 on July 9, 2025, at its Galaxy Unpacked event. Pre-orders in India are expected to begin shortly after, with open sales possibly starting by mid-July.
