Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7

Samsung is set to introduce its next-generation foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip 7, featuring the in-house Exynos 2500 chipset in most regions, including South Korea and India. This marks the first time an Exynos processor powers a Galaxy Z series device, signaling a significant shift in Samsung’s chipset strategy. This approach aligns with Samsung’s historical practice of varying chipsets by region.  The choice of Exynos 2500 for the Z Flip 7 may be influenced by thermal performance considerations. Reports suggest that the Snapdragon 8 Elite runs warmer in ultra-thin devices, making the cooler-running Exynos 2500 a more suitable option for the slim form factor of the Z Flip 7.  Expected Launch Date and Features The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is anticipated to launch in early July 2025 during Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event. The device is also expected to run One UI 8 based on Android 16.  With the introduction of the Exynos 2500 in the Galaxy Z Flip 7, Samsung demonstrates its commitment to advancing its in-house chipset technology and diversifying its hardware offerings across global markets. Samsung is set to begin mass production of its next generation of foldable phones next month, including the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7, and, for the first time, a more affordable option, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE.
