There’s been a lot of talk about the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 recently. Leaks have revealed some of the key improvements the device is said to offer. Now, recent reports hint that Samsung’s upcoming book-like foldable phone might be bringing a more expansive and immersive viewing experience than ever before. The latest information mentions that the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will have a bigger display size thanks to some clever bezel slimming.
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7’s display size: same as Z Fold SE but with less bezels
According to tipster PandaFlash 𝕏, the inner display of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will have a size of around 8.2 inches. More specifically, Samsung would use the same foldable display as the Galaxy Z Fold SE (Special Edition). This screen is 8 inches, but the company would have reduced the bezels on the Z Fold 7, guaranteeing a (very slight) greater usable screen space than on the Z Fold SE.
For reference, the inner display of the current Galaxy Z Fold 6 is 7.6 inches. So, the next-gen model could offer a noticeable bump that could make a real difference for multitasking, gaming, and consuming content on the go.
The latest leak makes more sense after a recent official teaser from Samsung. The company had hinted that its next foldable device would offer an “Ultra” experience. This immediately sparked speculation about a potential new “Ultra” variant of the Fold, perhaps even more premium than the standard model. However, it seems that Samsung was simply referring to the enhanced experience provided by a larger, more expansive screen. The “Ultra” might just be referring to the “ultra-immersive” display, rather than a new tier of device.
A productivity boost
A bigger, almost edge-to-edge display on a foldable phone is a significant improvement. It means more screen real estate in the same form factor, making the most of the innovative folding design. Whether you’re juggling multiple apps, diving into a mobile game, or just browsing your favorite websites, those extra inches and reduced bezels promise a more expansive and engaging visual canvas. The form factor of book-like foldable phones is ideal for boosting productivity. With that in mind, increasing the screen size is a smart decision.
Keep in mind that these details are still part of the rumor mill. However, if Samsung indeed delivers a larger, almost 8.2-inch inner display by trimming down those bezels, it will certainly solidify the Z Fold 7’s position as a cutting-edge device for those who demand the biggest screen in their pocket. The company was falling far behind its rivals in a segment where it was a pioneer. Its latest moves seem destined to begin to attack the problem and turn things around.
