The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is all but certainly on its way and now a new leak may have revealed some key details.

The latest flip phone from Samsung could see a jump in size over the current Flip 6 model.

The new screens are allegedly going to come in at 4-inches, for the outer, and 6.85-inches for the folding internal display.

While that may not sound like a massive jump up from the Flip 6, which has 3.4-inch and 6.7-inch displays, it could feel greater.

The bezels, on both screens, appear to be thinner suggesting we could be getting more screen without the phone itself actually taking up more pocket space.

There was no word on brightness but a new screen upgrade, to size, will likely come with more – Samsung being a display manufacturer. The jump from the Flip 5 to Flip 6 saw a huge increase in brightness with peak increasing from 1,504 nits right up to 1,942 nits.

Could the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 break the 2,000 nits mark?

For now the leakster has also pointed out a protective internal display film could be a part of the new offering. Whether this comes as standard and can’t be replaced or changed is not clear at this stage.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to be officially announced at the usual cycle time of July or August this year. Expect there to be a price increase if that screen size jump proves to be true.

Samsung's latest foldable masterpiece is finally on sale, and after spending almost three weeks with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, one thing is clear: it's one of the best foldables you can buy.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 ushers in a new era of folding phones, at least in Western markets. It's thinner, lighter, and the design is more precise, which also makes it challenging for third-party case vendors to create cases at launch.

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 became available to buy on Friday, which meant that it also became available for popular tech YouTuber Zack Nelson to subject the handset to his nasty durability test.

Nelson set it up nicely by noting the “fun fact” that none of the phones in Samsung’s flagship Fold series have ever snapped in two in the bending part of his durability test. “However, this new guy, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, is the thinnest Fold yet, so here’s to hoping that it finally happens today,” he quips.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is now available for general sale, and after two weeks with it, I've found that it's the best foldable device for most people.

Our Galaxy Z Fold 7 review delves into more detail, but Samsung's latest foldable introduces significant changes with a stunning new design, an ultra-thin body, and a 200MP main camera. The camera has proven to be as good as the Galaxy S25 Ultra when not zooming, although the 3x telephoto is just as capable as Samsung's imaging flagship.
