Galaxy Z Fold 7 & Flip 7 Feature New Hinge, Bigger Cooling System

by | Feb 4, 2025 | Galaxy Z, News

Samsung’s newly launched Galaxy S25 flagships feature bigger vapor chamber cooling systems than the S24. It appears the next foldables will see a similar upgrade. Both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 are rumored to pack bigger cooling systems than their predecessors. They also feature a new hinge mechanism, with the Fold 7 getting updated speakers as well.

There have been rumors that Samsung will introduce a new hinge mechanism with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and FLip 7 later this year. X user @PandaFlashPro claims this hinge upgrade is now “confirmed,” adding that the new solution allows for smoother folding and unfolding of the devices. It is also more durable and potentially helps reduce the crease on the screen.

Speaking of which, the tipster says the crease is “almost gone” on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, though you can feel a little under light. It’s unclear if the display crease on the Flip 7 gets similar improvements in visibility. The source is also unsure about the speakers on the Flip model but claims the new Fold will “100%” feature updated speakers. The Galaxy S25 series also brings speaker improvements.

The speaker cutouts are reportedly unchanged, and so are their placements. Even the button placement is the exact same as the sixth-gen foldables. The display brightness is also unchanged for both models, with Samsung offering 2,600 nits of peak brightness. The company plans to begin production of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 in May, with the launch likely taking place in July.

Samsung is expected to ship the new foldables with One UI 7.1.1 based on Android 15. However, the internal test units currently run One UI 7.1. This version should roll out to eligible models in a couple of months. The company should then ramp up the development of One UI 7.1.1. Expect more Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 leaks in the coming months.
