Samsung’s recent teaser for its next foldable smartphone got fans excited with talk of a “Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra”, but a well-known tipster has thrown cold water on the idea. With the Galaxy Unpacked event looming, it seems the Korean tech giant’s “Ultra” hype was more about marketing flair than a new premium model, leaving us with a trio of foldables to look forward to this summer.
Yesterday, Samsung’s press release dropped hints about an “Ultra experience” that “goes beyond a simple list of upgraded features,” leading many to speculate about a Galaxy Z Fold7 Ultra. However, tipster Max Jambor, known for reliable leaks, took to X to clarify that no such device is coming—at least not at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event in early July. “The Fold7 itself will bring the ‘Ultra’ experience,” Jambor stated, suggesting Samsung is using the term to hype up the standard Galaxy Z Fold7 rather than launching a separate Ultra model. The move, he claims, was a deliberate tactic to stir excitement.
Instead, Samsung’s lineup will stick to three foldables: the Galaxy Z Fold7, Galaxy Z Flip7, and the budget-friendly Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, as confirmed by recent TKDN certifications. The Z Fold7 is rumored to be a sleek upgrade, possibly as thin as 3.9mm unfolded and 8.9mm folded, with a 200MP main camera, 8.2-inch inner display, and Snapdragon 8 Elite chip. The Z Flip7 and Flip7 FE, meanwhile, may run on Exynos chips and offer a larger cover screen. All three are expected to debut with One UI 8 on Android 16, promising smoother animations and enhanced AI features.
While the Unpacked event’s exact date remains unconfirmed, leaks point to early July in New York. With no “Z Fold7 Ultra” in sight, the focus is now on whether the Z Fold7 can deliver that “Ultra” experience Samsung is teasing. More details should emerge soon as the event nears.
