Samsung appears to be on track with its upcoming foldable smartphone lineup. As per an X post by PandaFlashPro, production has begun for the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7, along with their accessories. The source indicates Samsung has met its May timeline, which aligns with expectations for an early July unveiling.

Production begins with revised targets

Samsung has reportedly kicked off production for the Flip 7 and Fold 7, and has also started manufacturing foldable OLED panels for both models. However, the company is said to have set lower production targets this year, anticipating softer demand.

The Flip 7 is reportedly limited to 3 million units, while the Fold 7 will see only 2 million units produced — a combined 40 percent drop compared to their predecessors.

Samsung is also preparing accessories for the duo, and there are indications that a tri-foldable phone may launch later this year. However, with an expected production run of just 200,000 units, it’s likely to remain a niche product due to its expected high price.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is rumored to feature a larger cover display and may debut with Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2500 processor — the brand’s first 3nm chipset. However, reports remain mixed, with some leaks suggesting Samsung may default to a Snapdragon chip if the Exynos variant isn’t ready in time. The Galaxy Fold 7, on the other hand, is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy the same as in the Galaxy S25 series.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Edge is set to launch next week with a focus on a thin design profile. Pre-orders have begun in the UK with exclusive benefits for early buyers. It is expected to break cover on May 13 in South Korea and on May 23 in China. Other markets are expected to receive the S25 Edge by May 30.
