Samsung’s Next Foldables: Thinner but Not the Thinnest
If you were hoping the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 would break size records, here’s the truth. They’re slimmer than before, but they won’t take the title of the world’s thinnest foldable phones. This insight comes from a SamMobile report, which accessed what it claims are official CAD files of both phones.
Let’s break it down for you.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 Is Just 4.54mm Thin When Open
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 measures just 4.54mm when unfolded. That’s thin, almost tablet-like. When folded, it becomes 9mm thick—just 0.1mm thicker than OPPO’s Find N5, which currently holds the crown for the thinnest foldable.
So yes, the Fold 7 is slim, but it won’t beat OPPO in that race.
Its unfolded size is 158.43 x 143.14 x 4.54mm. It also features a triple-camera setup placed on a vertical camera island. The design looks premium and compact, ideal for users who want power and portability.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 Keeps Its Slim Look
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 doesn’t try to become thinner than the previous model. Instead, it stays at 6.94mm thick when unfolded—just like the Flip 6.
The Flip 7 does improve on battery life though. It will have a 4,300mAh battery, which is 300mAh more than its predecessor. Samsung clearly chose battery life over a thinner body, which makes sense for Flip fans who care about longer usage.
Its full size is 166.61 x 75.23 x 6.84mm. With the camera bump included, it reaches 9.17mm at the thickest point.
Who Should Consider These Phones?
These foldables are for users who want something premium yet practical. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is perfect for multitaskers who want a large screen that fits in a pocket. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is ideal for style lovers who prefer a compact design with solid battery life.
Both phones continue to offer strong foldable experiences, even if they don’t top the charts in thinness.
Final Thoughts
As per the SamMobile report, Samsung has kept things steady. Instead of chasing ultra-thin titles, the company seems to focus on user comfort and battery gains.
So, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 might not break records, but they continue to set high standards in usability and design.
