Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold7 is still a few weeks away from launch, but that hasn’t stopped the leaks from heating up. A hands-on video with a dummy unit gives us an early look at how the next-gen foldable stacks up against its predecessor.

The video, shared by Korean YouTube channel TheSINZA, showcases what appears to be a Z Fold7 dummy model. While it’s not a working device, it offers a close approximation of the final design. Compared to the Z Fold6, the dummy reveals a noticeably slimmer profile. When folded, the alleged Z Fold7 dummy measures around 9mm thick, and just 4.5mm when unfolded—a significant trim-down from the Fold6’s 12.1mm and 5.6mm thickness. Weight has reportedly dropped as well, with the new model rumored to come in at 215g, making it significantly lighter than both the Z Fold6 (239g) and even the Galaxy S25 Ultra (218g).

The external screen also appears to be getting a size boost. The dummy shows a 6.5-inch cover display with a 21:9 aspect ratio, up from 6.3 inches, while the inner display is expected to grow to 8.2 inches. In terms of color, the Fold7 dummy was shown in Blue Shadow and Jet Black, likely among the launch color options. While details like camera specs remain unconfirmed, some rumors point to a 200MP main sensor—a significant upgrade if accurate.

Battery capacity is said to remain at 4,400mAh, which has sparked some debate, especially when compared to rivals like the Honor Magic V5 that packs a much larger 6,100mAh cell. Still, Samsung could limit the power consumption and offer an acceptable battery life.

With the official Galaxy Unpacked event set for July 9, the Fold7 is shaping up to be Samsung’s thinnest and most refined foldable yet. Whether it can outshine competition from the likes of Vivo or Honor remains to be seen, but based on early impressions, it’s certainly a strong contender.
