Samsung has shared a new teaser that hints at a smarter camera system for its next foldable, likely the Galaxy Z Fold 7. While the press release doesn’t name the phone directly, it highlights camera innovation and specifically mentions foldables as the next step in AI-powered mobile photography.
This, along with the teaser video showing a book-style foldable device, makes it quite clear that Samsung is preparing something big for the Z Fold 7’s camera. According to Samsung, the goal is no longer just to offer a high-quality lens or sensor, but to deliver a complete imaging experience – combining hardware, software, and AI into a seamless system.
As per Samsung, the cameras on its Galaxy smartphones are evolving from tools for capturing images into smart interfaces that help users better understand and interact with the world around them. When this is paired with the larger screen of a foldable, the result is expected to be a more dynamic, immersive experience. Could this mean a deeper Google Lens-like integration or smarter real-time scene recognition? Possibly. The teaser doesn’t give everything away, but it’s safe to say Samsung’s focus this year is on making the camera more useful, not just better.
Now, coming to the rest of the lineup, Samsung is expected to announce a full range of foldables and wearables at its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, reportedly scheduled for July 10. At the centre of it will be the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7, with leaks suggesting that the Z Fold 7 will be thinner and lighter, while the Z Flip 7 could bring a larger cover screen and possibly an Exynos chip in some regions. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also expected to retain two storage options – 256GB and 512GB – both with 12GB RAM.
Interestingly, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 won’t be the only clamshell foldable this time. Samsung is also said to be launching its first-ever Fan Edition foldable, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE. Rumours point to it having 128GB and 256GB storage variants, likely with fewer premium features to keep the price down. Then there’s the Galaxy G Fold – a triple-folding device that could be teased at the event. While not much is known about it just yet, some believe it might be shown briefly, similar to how Samsung teased the S25 Edge earlier this year.
Of course, it won’t just be phones. The Galaxy Watch 8 series is also expected to make its debut. The standard Watch 8 will reportedly come in grey and silver colours, while the Watch 8 Classic might arrive in black and white. Both are expected to be available in 40mm and 44mm sizes. As always, the wearables will likely focus on health and fitness features, but we might see new AI integrations here as well. Whether all devices launch immediately or some are held back for later in the year – like the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE or Galaxy G Fold – we’ll know more once the event takes place.
