Samsung Galaxy Unpacked: Last-minute leak reveals shocking downgrade
On the microblogging site Bluesky, a tipster by the name of Roland Quandt posted a number of pictures that showed the promotional materials for today’s Samsung launch event. Before its official release, the pictures provided more information on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. According to the pictures, the foldable will probably weigh 215 grams and have a thickness of 4.2 mm when unfurled. Additionally, Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, Armor Flexhinge, and advanced armor aluminum are mentioned.
The source did point out, though, that S-Pen is not mentioned in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 marketing materials. This has sparked rumors that Samsung is discontinuing support for the stylus to keep the foldable device thin. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 may not support the S Pen at all this year, which would be a significant reduction for customers. Previously, the S Pen Fold Edition was offered separately from the foldable.
In addition to the design, the 200MP primary camera with next-generation ProVisual Engine, a 12MP ultrawide, and a 10MP telephoto lens were leaked as part of the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s camera features. It was also mentioned that the same 4400mAh battery and Snapdragon 8 Elite CPU will power the smartphone.
When folded, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE are anticipated to be 4.1 mm thin. Additionally, it was rumored that the FE version would have a lesser 4000mAh battery, while the Z Flip 7 might have a 4300mAh battery. To find out how Samsung will distinguish between the Z Flip 7 and Z Flip 7 FE, we might have to wait till the launch.
