Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 were launched earlier this year as the company's latest foldable phones, and details of their successors have already started to surface online. Expected to arrive next year, the purported Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 could make their debut with larger displays, according to details shared by Display Supply Chain Consultants CEO Ross Young. While demand for foldables is not expected to grow in 2025, it is expected to rise once Apple's purported foldable phone is launched.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, Galaxy Z Flip 7 Display Specifications (Expected)

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Young claims that the inner screen and a cover display on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be larger than the company's current generation models. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 is equipped with a 7.6-inch and 6.3-inch outer and inner displays, respectively. Its successor is expected to sport an 8-inch inner screen and a 6.5-inch cover display.

It's worth noting that these are the Galaxy Z Fold SE is equipped with the same display specifications, which suggests that Samsung could use the same display technology from the handset on next year's model.

Samsung Wins Patent for a Tri-Fold Smartphone With Specialised Barrier Layer for Improved Durability

Like its larger sibling, the purported Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 is also said to feature larger displays. According to Young, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will have a 6.85-inch inner screen, which is slightly bigger than the 6.7-inch one on the Galaxy Z Flip 6 model, while the 3.4-inch outer display could be replaced by a 4-inch panel.

In a post on its website, DSCC states several smartphone manufacturers lowered foldable panel procurements between July and September. Similarly, the research firm states that the foldable panel market could fall by 5 percent in 2025 (after a 4 percent rise in 2024), but it could see growth in 2026 — around the time Apple is rumoured to launch its first foldable iPhone.

Recent reports suggest that Samsung is working on new foldable designs, including one with a tri-fold foldable display similar to Huawei's Mate XT Ultimate Design model. However, there's no word from the company on when these smartphones could make their debut, so it's unclear whether they will make their debut in the coming year.
