Samsung is finally catching up with Motorola in a big way. The upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 has just leaked, and the biggest change is right on the front — a full cover display that now spans the entire outer shell. This long-overdue upgrade puts the Flip 7 in direct competition with the Motorola Razr Ultra, which has been leading the pack in terms of functionality and design in the flip segment.
Let’s dive into what the latest leaks reveal about Samsung’s most powerful and premium clamshell foldable yet.
Full Cover Display: No More “Manila Folder” Look
Samsung is finally ditching the awkward half-cut cover screen design. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 now features a complete outer display, allowing users to interact with more content at a glance — a design that feels very much inspired by the Motorola Razr Plus (Ultra).
The real question, however, is functionality. Will Samsung finally let users run any app on the cover display — like Motorola already does? At the moment, only a few apps are available via the Labs settings in One UI. If Samsung opens it up, this could be a game-changer for multitasking and productivity on a flip phone.
Slimmer, Lighter Design
Compared to the Galaxy Z Flip 6, the new Flip 7 is noticeably thinner and lighter. While the Flip series has never had the same bulky issues as the Fold series, any reduction in size and weight is always welcome — especially when it improves pocketability and comfort.
This new form factor should give Samsung an edge with users looking for an ultra-compact foldable with premium specs.
Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy: Performance Beast
Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is powered by an overclocked version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, officially dubbed the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. This chip is expected to clock up to 4.47GHz on its Prime core, making it the most powerful Flip phone on the market — even surpassing the Razr Ultra’s regular Snapdragon 8 Elite variant.
Key performance specs:
• Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy (4.47GHz)
• RAM: 12GB
• Storage: Options from 128GB to 512GB
This should translate into faster multitasking, smoother gaming, and overall flagship-grade performance in a compact form.
Camera and Battery: Familiar Territory
Samsung isn’t changing much when it comes to optics and battery:
• Main Camera: 50MP primary
• Ultrawide: 12MP
• Battery: 4,000mAh (same as Flip 6)
While the camera hardware remains the same, software improvements and AI optimization could still enhance image quality. On the battery front, 4,000mAh still lags behind Motorola’s 4,200mAh+ options, which is a bit of a letdown for power users.
Launch Date: Galaxy Z Flip 7 Debuts at July Unpacked
Samsung is expected to officially unveil the Galaxy Z Flip 7 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 at its next Galaxy Unpacked event on July 9, likely to be held in New York City.
This means we’re just weeks away from seeing Samsung’s full 2025 foldable lineup — and the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is already shaping up to be a major upgrade for fans of the clamshell form factor.
Galaxy Z Flip 7 – At a Glance
• Cover Display: Full-size outer screen
• Main Display: Expected 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED
• Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy
• RAM/Storage: 12GB / 128GB–512GB
• Main Camera: 50MP + 12MP ultrawide
• Battery: 4,000mAh

Final Thoughts: Galaxy Z Flip 7 Finally Breaks Free
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 appears to be the Flip phone Samsung fans have been waiting for. With a full cover display, slimmer design, and the most powerful Snapdragon chip ever in a flip phone, Samsung is finally catching up to — and maybe even surpassing — Motorola in key areas.
The only missing piece? Full app support on the outer screen. If Samsung enables that, the Flip 7 could be the best clamshell foldable in the world.
