Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 may get a thin profile like Galaxy S24

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6 only launched last week, but rumors are already swirling about what the South Korean giant’s next-generation book-style foldables have in store. With the competition in the foldable smartphone space intensifying, Samsung is reportedly gearing up to make its Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 as thin as its Galaxy S series slab-style phones. The South Korean brand is said to be working on an extra-thin foldable smartphone, with the alleged Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim model potentially going official later this year.

Samsung’s next foldable phone could be as thin as the Galaxy S series

a report by Citing industry sources, KED Global claims that Samsung Electronics President and Head of MX Business TM Roh has asked Samsung engineers to design an extra-thin foldable smartphone similar to the Galaxy S24. The latter has a 7.7mm thin profile. The MX division is said to be working on reducing the weight of the next foldable smartphone to under 239 grams.

In addition to the slim profile, Samsung’s next foldable phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, is expected to feature an 8-inch primary display. This would be a notable upgrade over the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s 7.6-inch cover display. The report further claims that Samsung will likely release a Galaxy Z Fold 6 Slim model that will be 10mm thin by the end of this year. This could allow the brand to make subsequent models thinner in the coming years.

The Galaxy Z Fold 6, announced last week in Paris, has a 12.1mm thick folded profile and weighs 239 grams. Last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 5 had a 13.4mm thick unfolded profile and weighed 253 grams.

With the latest foldable phones from Motorola, Honor and Vivo going on sale in markets outside China, there seems to be mounting pressure on Samsung to come up with a better effort for its foldable phones. Xiaomi recently confirmed that the Mix Fold 4 will have a thickness of 9.47mm and a weight of 226 grams. This would make the phone significantly thinner and lighter than Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 6. Similarly, Honor’s new Magic V3 measures in at 9.3mm thick and weighs 230 grams.
