Samsung‘s 7th-generation foldables are just around the corner—expected to arrive sometime in mid-July—and this year, the book-style model finally seems to be getting meaningful hardware upgrades. It’s reportedly going to be much thinner than its predecessor and may feature a slightly larger display. But that’s not all—the camera system also appears to be getting a major overhaul.
A previously leaked prototype image showed a repositioned flash, hinting at a larger main sensor. This supports ongoing rumors of a 200MP primary camera. However, one detail we didn’t explore in our previous report is the protrusion of the camera module itself. A recently leaked render of a Thinborne case for the Z Fold7 offers a first visual hint at that.
While the render doesn’t mention exact dimensions, the protrusion appears reasonable when you consider the rumored specs. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, which also uses a 200MP 1/1.3″ ISOCELL HP2 sensor, is 8.2mm thick. In contrast, the Z Fold7 is said to measure just 4.54mm when unfolded—making it Samsung’s slimmest foldable yet. If Samsung reuses the HP2 sensor and a similar lens setup, the protrusion on the Z Fold7 would likely exceed that of the S25 Ultra by over 3mm—lining up with the render.
And let’s not forget what we saw with the Galaxy S25 Edge. That “razor-thin” bar phone (5.8mm) is still thicker than the Z Fold7 (unfolded), which suggests the protrusion on the foldable could be even more pronounced—assuming Samsung’s ALOP lens tech doesn’t make the leap from patents and blog posts to actual production hardware.
We’re inching closer to the big reveal, and Samsung has already started spilling the beans—one detail at a time. Stick around for more updates.
