Samsung is preparing to introduce its seventh-generation foldable phones, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE, at the Unpacked event to be held in mid-July. The company will offer its book-shaped Fold 7 model to users as its thinnest and most advanced foldable device to date. Recent developments reveal that the phone has received FCC certification.
Which processor will power the Galaxy Z Fold 7?
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has appeared on the FCC database. This confirms that the foldable phone will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. This provides a significant performance increase and energy efficiency compared to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 6’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset.
Samsung’s regional processor policy should be taken into consideration. Although the FCC certification focuses on the Snapdragon chipset, it is widely known that the company also plans to use the Exynos 2500 processor in some regions. However, according to sources, the company’s own production processor will be limited to countries such as South Korea. This means that global versions will most likely use the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor.
The FCC listing also confirms that the foldable model will have 5G, Ultra-Wideband (UWB) and Wi-Fi 7 support. Wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are also available on the device. However, the smartphone will most likely use a 4,400 mAh battery.
Panda Flash Pro, known for its leaks in the industry, has shared new details about the Galaxy Z Fold 7. Accordingly, the foldable phone will have a larger screen compared to its predecessor. Here, it is said that the 8-inch panel on the Z Fold Special Edition will be used.
In fact, it is stated that there will be a significant difference here. If the claims reflect the truth, the 1.9 mm bezels on the Z Fold 6 will be reduced to 1 mm on the Z Fold 7. This will increase the usable screen area to almost 8.2 inches.
The model is expected to come with a 200 MP main camera, a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a larger 6.3-inch cover screen and a thickness of only 4.5 mm when opened, with a less visible fold mark.
