New leaked renders suggest potential fixes to two significant issues on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Scoop on the Galaxy Z Fold 7
Here's a sneak peek at the anticipated Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, courtesy of Android Headlines and OnLeaks. Check out these alleged official renders of Samsung's forthcoming foldable powerhouse!
One striking modification in these renders is a punch-hole camera on the internal display. A move back to a punch-hole in the main display could signify a significant upgrade for selfies or video calls. Unfortunately, Samsung's utilization of a tiny 4MP sensor in previous models meant a drop in image quality. Optimistically, a punch-hole design shouldn't compromise the usability, and selfies should regain their lost glory!
A quick glance at the renders also hints at possible transformations Samsung is planning for the Galaxy Z Fold 7's body. The rumored slimmer and lighter design could provide users with a wider phone, boasting more screen space while ensuring easier handling. Allegedly, the outer display will grow to 6.5 inches in size, up from the 6.3-inch outer display on the Z Fold 6. Meanwhile, the inner display could increase to a generous 8.2 inches, up from the 7.6-inch panel on the Z Fold 6.
Two eye-catching colors featured in these renders are dubbed Blue Shadow and Jet Black. While additional colors are expected to be available, further details remain under wraps.
Samsung has been unusually candid about its plans for the Galaxy Z Fold 7, though it hasn't officially named the device. Despite this secrecy, it has shared numerous teasers hinting at an impressive user experience for its next foldable. The launch date has yet to be revealed, but with rumors swirling of a possible July 9 unveiling, we can hardly wait to put our hands on this mega-foldable!
