Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy Z Fold7 at its Unpacked event on July 9, 2025, in New York, and fans are buzzing about a subtle yet significant design change. The controversial ridged camera rings, introduced with the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Z Fold6, have been scrapped. These textured rings, meant to add style, were criticized for feeling cheap. Samsung has listened, opting for a sleek, ringless camera module that enhances the device’s premium aesthetic, as revealed by trusted leaker @UniverseIce.
The Galaxy Z Fold7 boasts flagship specs: a 200MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP 3x telephoto, all packed into an 8.2mm folded chassis. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, it runs One UI 8 on Android 16, featuring an 8.2-inch AMOLED main display and a 6.5-inch cover screen. Samsung is also ditching the under-display camera for a hole-punch selfie cam to boost photo quality.
The redesigned camera module, free of the so-called “Saturn Ring” design, aligns with rumors of a similar approach for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The Unpacked event will also showcase the Galaxy Z Flip7, Galaxy Watch 8, and possibly Samsung’s tri-fold phone, marking a bold step forward for the brand.
This move signals Samsung’s commitment to user feedback, delivering a polished, high-end foldable that balances style and performance. Tech enthusiasts worldwide are eager to see how these changes play out.
