Rumour: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 Could Feature a Full-Size Outer Display

Highlights

• The Galaxy Z Flip 7 may feature a full-size outer display that wraps around the cameras.
• The updated renders suggest the outer screen could be closer to 4 inches, covering almost the entire front panel when folded.
• Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 later this year.

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 might bring a major design change with leaks now suggesting that the phone will have a full-size outer display that wraps around the cameras. Here’s everything we know so far.

Samsung Galaxy Flip 7 Outer Display – What’s Changing?

Samsung’s earlier Galaxy Z Flip models had small and limited outer displays, while competing brands introduced larger and more functional ones. With the Galaxy Z Flip 5, Samsung finally upgraded to a 3.4-inch outer display, but it still didn’t take up the full cover area due to the camera placement.

The same design was expected to continue with the Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Flip 7, based on previous leaks last month. However, an updated leak in the same Android Headlines report has changed that assumption.

New Galaxy Flip 7 Renders Show a Full-Size Cover Screen

Recent updated renders by Android Headlines now reveal that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will feature a full-size outer display, covering almost the entire front panel when folded. The screen is expected to be closer to 4 inches, instead of the previously rumored 3.6 inches.

As pointed out by 9to5Google, this new design would be very similar to the Motorola Razr+ (2024) if true. The Motorola phone was the first flip-style foldable to adopt a full-size outer screen. Motorola’s previous Razr models already had bigger outer screens than Samsung’s, but last year’s flagship really pushed the trend forward.

According to tipster OnLeaks’ recent post on X (formerly Twitter), the previous leak was based on misinterpreted data. A similar mistake happened with the Pixel 9a and Galaxy S25 Edge leaks, where early reports didn’t match Samsung’s final design choices. It seems the company may have been testing different prototypes before settling on this final design.
