- The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 could be less than 10 mm thick when folded
- This would make it the thinnest fold z to date, even having the special rhythm of the special edition Z Fold
- However, this would apparently mean that he has no scanners and could have a “downgrade” pen
This year, it seems that Samsung has become a little obsessed with the creation of his phones as thin as possible – even if it brings downgrades.
Not only is there the next Edge Samsung Galaxy S25 to consider, which has apparently sacrificed a camera and perhaps also the battery capacity to stop, but now we understand that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 could also be incredibly thin.
Two separate sources have said so much, with the @Kro_roe leak (via GSMARENA) saying that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be the thinnest fold Z ever, thanks in part to a degradation of the S. pen.
The fold 7 is the thinnest fold of all time, thanks to the demotion of the pen.February 11, 2025
They are not more precise on the thin or the type of demotion, but a report in and news (via @jukanlosreve) suggests that Samsung aims to ensure that the galaxy z fold 7 of 10 mm thick when It is folded.
For reference, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 has a thickness of 12.1 mm, and even the special Samsung Galaxy Z Fold edition has a thickness of 10.6 mm, it should therefore be a substantial reduction in the thickness.
However, to obtain this reduction, Samsung will apparently remove the digitizer from the foldable screen, which is the display layer which interacts with the S Pen stylus. To eliminate it is not necessarily a degradation, because and News claims that Samsung will simply integrate technology into the pen itself which allows it to operate without scanners.

However, since @Kro_roe mentions a demotion, it is possible that the Samsung solution leads to a pen less full of features. Maybe it will lack Bluetooth connectivity, which is a sacrifice that we have already seen Samsung with the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s S pen, but it’s just speculation.
In any case, and news also claims that the foldable screen will be 8 inch, and the cover screen will be 6.5 inches, which would correspond to the special edition Galaxy Z Fold but larger in both cases that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Mass production in May
Finally, the site indicates that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will enter mass production in May, at that time that Samsung will have finalized the thickness of the phone.
It is always worth taking affirmations like these with a pinch of salt, but we have heard several sources that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 could lack digitizer, so there is a good chance that it is, at least, Or correct, and we ‘I also heard these screen sizes before.
The question of whether the phone will really have less than 10 mm thick is more questionable, because the previous claims have suggested that it would not be thinner than the special edition Z Fold. We will probably discover it in July, because it is probably when the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be launched – probably alongside the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7, and maybe even a tripled phone.
