While Samsung recently unveiled its Galaxy S25 series , available for pre-order and sale starting February 7, rumors about its upcoming foldables, including the Galaxy Z Flip 7 , are already multiplying. GalaxyClub’s latest report focuses on camera specs, and expectations seem mixed.
According to GalaxyClub, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be equipped with a camera module composed of 50 megapixels for the main sensor, 12 megapixels for the ultra wide-angle, and 10 megapixels for the front camera .
These sensors are identical to those of the Galaxy Z Flip 6, which might disappoint photography enthusiasts. However, the report does not give any indication of the size of the sensors, leaving hopes for a possible improvement in the internals while maintaining the same resolutions. It is also unlikely that Samsung will include a telephoto lens or an under-display camera for this model.
Rather than opting for hardware improvements, Samsung seems to be betting on software optimizations and artificial intelligence , as was the case with the Galaxy S25 series.
Galaxy Z Flip 7, example of the Galaxy S25 Ultra
The Galaxy S25 Ultra showed slightly different performance compared to its predecessor, thanks in part to more natural skin tones. However, some images appeared darker than those captured by the previous model. These adjustments, while subtle, show an approach geared towards improving software processing.
Samsung is also introducing tools like the ProVisual Engine, which will likely be integrated into upcoming foldables to boost image optimization capabilities.
Samsung could introduce advanced features such as “Best Face,” which allows it to select the best facial expression from a series of shots. This approach is intended to compensate for the lack of major hardware improvements and to stand out from competitors that are still relying on innovative sensors.
However, the success of this strategy will depend on how these software improvements translate into real-world performance compared to the competition.
A change of direction: the Exynos 2500
Unlike the Galaxy S25 series, which is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will be powered by Samsung’s in-house developed Exynos 2500 chip . This chip is designed to deliver solid performance while supporting new AI and image processing capabilities. If you’re interested in learning more about this processor, check out the details here.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 appears to be taking a cautious direction, maintaining similar hardware specifications to its predecessor while relying on software improvements to differentiate itself. This AI-driven strategy, while interesting, could frustrate users looking for a real technological leap. Whether this approach will be enough against competitors that continue to innovate on the hardware front will have to wait for hands-on testing.
