We are only hours away from the official unveiling of the Galaxy foldables and the Galaxy Watch 8 series. But ahead of the big reveal, a leak has seemingly confirmed some key specs and official renders of the devices we’ve all been waiting for.
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is indeed packing a 200MP main camera — a long-awaited upgrade over the aging 50MP sensor many users had hoped Samsung would replace last year. While the device itself isn’t labeled as an “Ultra” in the materials, the main camera does get that tag: “a 200MP Ultra camera for the first time in Galaxy Z Fold.” For image processing, it will rely on Samsung’s “ProVisual Engine,” also featured in the S25 series and mentioned during the launch keynote. So, at least in terms of the main sensor, the Fold7 is getting closer to the S25 Ultra in imaging capabilities.
The battery is disappointing many, and here’s why
The book-style foldable will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. However, the relatively small 4,400mAh battery could limit performance in demanding tasks. Sure, Samsung may optimize system functions to reduce power consumption, but as long as you’re not just navigating app opening and closing animations (which are fully under Samsung’s control) and instead are using third-party apps — like browsing or editing videos — the Fold7 may struggle to match rivals like the Honor Magic V5 (5,820mAh globally, 6,100mAh in China) in both performance and battery life.
Another noticeable omission in the marketing materials is any mention of S Pen support. There’s no sign of an S Pen case either, prompting tipster Ronald Quandt to speculate: “My guess would be… no S Pen.”
That said, the Z Fold7 still brings meaningful upgrades over the Z Fold6 — especially the slimmer 4.2mm unfolded thickness and the long-awaited 200MP camera that many users had been asking for. Check out the details on the Z Flip7 and Flip7 FE here.
