Essential Information
- Samsung is set to deliver Galaxy Z foldables that are thinner, lighter, and more robust.
- The forthcoming series is touted as the most sophisticated foldable so far, boasting enhanced design features.
- Concerns linger regarding possible trade-offs associated with the slimmer design, reminiscent of earlier worries about the Galaxy S25 Edge.
Following the announcement of Ultra performance for Galaxy foldables last week, Samsung shared additional insights on the upcoming Galaxy Z series.
In a recent blog update, Samsung emphasizes that the new Galaxy Z series heralds a design philosophy of being “Thin, Light, and Built to Last.” Since the debut of the first Galaxy Fold in 2019, Samsung has made significant strides in improving the conventional book-style foldable, now tailored to fit comfortably in consumer pockets.
Moreover, Samsung affirms that its engineers and designers are perfecting the new Galaxy Z series, which is anticipated to be thinner, lighter, and more durable than its predecessors — the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6. Additionally, the company claims it will be the most advanced foldable available.
Samsung has provided a glimpse of what seems to be the Galaxy Z Fold 7 via a GIF, showing it as impressively thinner when folded and even sleeker when opened.
However, skepticism remains about the potential compromises that might accompany this thinner foldable, reminiscent of issues seen with the Galaxy S25 Edge, which reportedly struggled with sales despite a Samsung executive addressing the thinner model’s battery concerns.
Samsung’s recent blog post does not specify the date for the upcoming Unpacked event, although the expectation for a thinner foldable was mentioned in last week’s update. The company stated that the next foldable could “Squeeze onto a crowded subway train for an evening commute with the device, folded in hand.”
In addition to foldables, Samsung is anticipated to unveil the next generation of smartwatches — the Galaxy Watch 8 Series. Ahead of the launch, a listing for the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic appeared on eBay, showcasing the smartwatch from all perspectives.
