Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be the thinnest foldable smartphone in the world
By ForGeeks Samsung is preparing to unveil new foldable smartphones this July. After minor updates in the past series, fans are expecting the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 to bring real changes. According to the latest rumors, one of the major breakthroughs will be the thickness of the new Fold – and it promises to be record-breaking.
Samsung’s latest rumor is that the new Fold will be thicker than ever before.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be record thin
Insiders are reporting that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be just 8.2mm thick when folded. This will make it the thinnest foldable smartphone in the world. For comparison, the current record belongs to the Oppo Find N5 with a thickness of 8.9mm.

If confirmed, the Fold 7 will be 0.7mm thinner than the Oppo – and as much as 30% thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which is 12.1mm thick when folded. Such a leap forward would be a real achievement for Samsung.
How Samsung plans to make it happen
There’s no definite word yet on how engineers will manage to reduce the thickness of the device so much. Previously, rumors of a 9.5mm thickness had surfaced online, which looked more realistic. However, new leaks insist it’s 8.2mm.
The big question is whether Samsung will be able to keep all the key features of the Z Fold lineup: moisture protection, design durability, and battery capacity. After all, these are the elements that set the company’s devices apart from the competition.
Why it matters for the Fold series
Many Galaxy Z Fold fans are waiting for a major update from Samsung. Reducing the thickness could be just the thing to bring the series back to its former popularity. A smaller, lighter device would be more comfortable for everyday use, and could justify the high cost of the flagship models.
