Samsung will reportedly not make any big changes to the foldable in 2025


2025 doesn’t look like a great year for Samsung’s foldable devices, as the company is reportedly not planning any major changes for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 despite declining sales.
The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Flip 6 were good foldable devices, but they couldn’t keep up with the competition. As a result, Samsung’s sales haven’t exactly been hot, and that’s why softening expectations for 2025 as previously reported. Although there are some rumblings of the new models and larger screensthe latest data indicate little change.

Looking only at Samsung Electronics’ foldable phone form factor, it looks like there will be some changes starting with the Z8 series coming in 2026, in addition to the Galaxy Z7 series next year. Samsung Electronics’ strategy seems to be to respond to the demand for Chinese foldable phones and the expected launch of Apple’s foldable products, but expectations have been significantly lowered.
it happened previously reported Samsung may be exploring additional form factors for foldables, but we haven’t heard much about it since then. Based on reports that Samsung is planning, it is becoming more and more likely to run multiple options of these foldable devices, the “basic” Fold 7 and Flip 7 are unchanged, but variants may be exploring new options, eg a thinner layer. It’s still early, so some reports may not reflect Samsung’s final plans.
