According to a leak that originated from a questionable source, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will have a noticeably fainter crease, though it will be somewhat visible in light. Considering that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is rumored to be an improved version of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, there’s a high chance of this rumor materializing.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 may have a less visible crease.
The availability of the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition was scarce as it was only released in South Korea and China. People who got hands-on time with the phone said that its crease was a massive improvement over the Galaxy Z Fold 6.
One of the reasons behind that is that the Special Edition apparently features Samsung’s ultra-flexible glass (UFG) instead of the UTG (ultra-thin glass) used for other foldables. UFG is a higher-strength material and offers better impact resistance.
Today’s leak also says that both the Fold 7 and Flip 7 will feature a large cooling system as well as a more durable and smoother hinge mechanism.
Since the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be based on the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, it will likely also have bigger inner and main displays as well as a 200MP main camera. The downside though is that like the Special Edition, the Z Fold 7may also remove S Pen support. Samsung appears to have decided all of a sudden that most of its users don’t need the S Pen, as evident by the downgraded stylus shipped with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, stylus support is one of the stand-out features of Samsung’s foldable phones, and removing support might tank sales further.
