The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is still a few months away yet, but that hasn’t stopped us hearing rumors about the upcoming foldable. Leaker @PandaFlashPro has just posted a bunch of information about the phone on X, giving us an idea about improvements that could help cement the device as one of the best foldable phones.
A leaker claims the Z Flip 7 may get several design upgrades, including a stronger hinge thanks to a “new internal structure.” It’s also rumored to have a less visible crease and completely new flexible glass. If true, this could help Samsung catch up to rivals who have already minimized creases in their foldables.

Thickness may also be reduced as a result of this new design, with PandaFlashPro noting that the Z Flip 7 could have a thinner body. Considering the Z Flip 6 is only 6.9mm when unfolded, there is certainly room to make the Z Flip 7 a little skinnier — especially since the upcoming OnePlus Open 2 is expected to be just 4mm thick.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s ProScaler is also said to be on the way, which could improve the image quality on the Z Flip 7’s screen. This technology originated on Samsung TVs, promising to improve the quality and color of images in real-time with the help of AI. While it can’t perform miracles, it’s said that it can offer up to 43% better images on the S25 series — a figure we hope will continue only the Z Flip 7.
PandaFlashPro also claims that we will see a bigger vapor chamber, which will improve cooling and prevent heat buildup, which will be useful for high-performance features like gaming and on-device AI. Likewise higher display efficiency should offer better battery performance, and less heat build-up during everyday use.
Finally there’s the promise that the Z Flip 7 will come packing a new version of Samsung’s ProVisual Engine AI photography tools, and charging that is a “bit faster”. However this seems to be referring to charging time, rather than the power draw — which will reportedly remain at 25W.
There’s still a lot we don’t know about the Galaxy Z Flip 7, though we are expecting it to arrive sometime this summer alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7. In the meantime be sure to check out all the latest news and rumors in our official Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 hub.
