While Samsung has just introduced the Galaxy S25 series with a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, the company is readying several next-generation foldable smartphones such as the highly anticipated Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. If recent leaks are anything to go by, then at least one of these foldable phones will pack in the same powerhouse chipset.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7: SoC, RAM, Storage Options Expected
Popular tipster PandaFlash (@PandaFlashPro) shared details on X, about the specification of the foldable devices. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 may run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset in all global variants. This would further signify the major move by Samsung to provide flagship performance in its foldable flagship.
There were earlier leaks that indicated both may arrive with Samsung’s Exynos 2500 chipset. However, the latest leak says Samsung is experiencing some issues while producing this Exynos 2500 processor and may only use it on the Galaxy Z Flip 7.
Memory and Storage Configurations
Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be offered in the following storage options:
256GB
512GB
1TB
12 GB of RAM will be a default just like the Fold 6.
In regard to the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is again reported to launch with 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of memory.
This could also mean that Samsung will axe the 128GB variant that was available in some regions for the Galaxy Z Flip 6.
Expected Pricing and Market Positioning
Previous leaks indicate that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 may come with the same price tags as their predecessors. If true, here’s the expected pricing for the base variants in India:
Galaxy Z Fold 7 (12GB+256GB): ₹1,64,999
Galaxy Z Flip 7 (12GB+256GB): ₹1,09,999
This pricing indicates that Samsung is continuing its streak of maintaining the same premium pricing in foldables, rather looking at upgrading performance than tweaking the cost.
Now, for the wrap-up-what one may expect from the Galaxy Z Fold 7?
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is shaping up to be quite a powerhouse of a foldable smartphone, considering the high-end hardware. In conjunction, likely with the globally adopted Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, Samsung is going to make sure seamlessness is assured at high performance.
Regarding the Galaxy Z Flip 7, it could use both Exynos 2500 and Snapdragon 8 Elite depending on the availability. With increased storage options, high RAM capacity, and competitive pricing, the new foldable devices could easily strengthen Samsung’s leading position in the foldable smartphone market. Last but not least, enthusiasts and fans are more keenly waiting for the official announcement by Samsung to declare a launch date and full specification.
