We finally know what the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will look like, and it’s hard not to be enamored with its Gameboy SP vibes. The Z Flip 7 will have a 3.6-inch cover display that opens to a 6.8-inch internal display, making it officially larger than its predecessor. It’s a welcome bump in size, although the Z Flip 7 is still smaller than other flip phones on the market.

The images come from an official CAD render leak for the Z Flip 7, first obtained by Android Headlines. While these leaks don’t confirm the device’s internal specs, they do make it easier to make educated guesses based on what we see.

Let’s start with the cameras. Dual cameras grace the cover, while a punch hole camera sits at the top-center of the interior.  The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will most likely use the same configuration as the Flip 6, with a 50MP primary camera and a 12MP ultra wide. It’s possible that Samsung will upgrade the sensors, even if the resolution remains the same — but not even the flagship Galaxy S25 saw significant camera upgrades, so it’s best not to hold your breath.

EXCLUSIVE BREAKING LEAK: Samsung's GALAXY Z Flip 7 LEAKED Design REVEALED!

The internal screen crease looks less prominent, although that could also be due to the quality of the render. When fully open, the crease seems all but invisible, the hinge the only indication of its location. That lines up with other leaks, although the tipsters (like PandaFlash X) say the crease isn’t gone, just significantly diminished. They also suggest it will come with a more durable hinge — a step in the right direction for Samsung, whose hinges have proven to be a weak point on the phones.

Rumors have ping-ponged between a Qualcomm and Exynos chip for the internals, although the consensus in more recent leaks points towards the Exynos 2500 SoC. That’s not confirmed, however, so don’t take it as fact until Samsung reveals the specs.

We expect to see the phone arrive with 12GB of RAM and a choice between 256 and 512GB of storage, as well as a slate of Galaxy AI features. As for price, the Z Flip 7 will most likely hold firm with a starting price around $1,100.

You can expect to see the Z Flip 7 — and the Z Fold 7 — hit shelves sometime in July or August, with more information emerging as the launch date nears.

Samsung’s next tracker may look better while becoming harder to actually attach
Samsung may redesign the SmartTag right into an AirTag annoyance
Samsung Galaxy SmartTag 2 in Black and White variants

Samsung appears ready to redesign its Galaxy SmartTag again. This time, the makeover could come at the expense of one of the SmartTag 2’s most practical advantages. SamMobile's latest report has shared the supposed design of the upcoming Galaxy SmartTag 3.

The smart tracker can be seen with a compact squircle-shaped body that resembles Samsung's recent One UI icons and the shape used around newer Galaxy Watch displays. In comparison, the current SmartTag 2 looks a lot different, with a longer pill-shaped body dominated by a big integrated loop at one end. The leaked SmartTag 3 diagram does away with that loop entirely.

Tecno shows off a bezel-less concept phone that looks achingly breathtaking
Tecno's bezel-free phone could be revealed at IFA 2026 in September.

Say what you will about bezel-less phones, how bad they are for typing, and how they are a glorified ergonomics nightmare, but you can't deny their charm. For over a decade, smartphone makers have made numerous attempts to reduce or eliminate those black borders. The likes of Vivo went with a sloping screen, while others like the ill-fated Essential and Xiaomi just kept trimming the sides. Apple and Samsung followed in their footsteps, but neither of them has tried anything too audacious lately.

Tecno, it seems, wants to go bezel-less without any tricks. The brand just released a short teaser video showing its "next-gen bezelless concept phone." It's a concept phone, so keep that designation in mind. The brand hasn't said when this phone will be officially showcased, or launched, but IFA 2026 is our best bet. As for the device itself, it just looks stunning, and rumors also suggest that the bezel race will be white hot in 2027.

Shopping for back-to-school? I’d recommend these GaN chargers for saving space and packing more power
From a $9 spare to a $56 desk hub, these chargers cut down on cable clutter so that you can focus on your studies, not how cluttered your desk looks.
Best GaN chargers in 2026 for back to school shopping.

Between a phone, a laptop, a tablet, and perhaps a pair of wireless earbuds that require charging every day or every few days, most students are packing multiple chargers for move-in day. Those big, heavy bricks take up valuable backpack space that could otherwise be free for carrying more items. 

However, GaN chargers fix that problem in two ways. First, they deliver the same amount of power from a much smaller body, thanks to gallium nitride transistors. Furthermore, if you're willing to spend a little more upfront, you can get a high-capacity, multi-device charger capable of powering your entire digital ecosystem from a single wall outlet, something that could be very useful for a dorm room.
