Samsung has quite a lot of products and announcements in store this year. However, the South Korean tech giant is especially focused on its foldable this year to bring back its A-game and give tough competition to others in the foldable space. We have seen varied speculations about the upcoming foldables and what to expect from them. As we near the unveiling, more leaks give away key information about the foldable models. Now, a new report suggests we could see a titanium hinge on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the company's first tri-fold phone.
Samsung would reportedly now be opting for a titanium hinge upgrade for its Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy G Fold
Samsung seems to be gearing up for its Unpacked event, which will be held in July 2025 and mainly entail the launch of the company's much-anticipated foldable models, with the focus being on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7. We are expecting some major improvements this year, especially with the company promising some significant upgrades. We will also be getting to see more of the tech giant's first tri-fold phone, which could come out as the Galaxy G Fold later in Q4 of 2025.
The rumor mill seems to be churning in full swing, and now, new speculation seems to be letting us into a major update. As per a report by The Elec, Samsung will feature a titanium hinge this year on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy G Fold, but what is surprising is that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will not be coming with the same upgrade.
Samsung has been actively working on improving the form factor of its foldable models. By opting for a titanium hinge on the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the tech giant would significantly reduce the device's thickness and even make it more durable. Similarly, a triple-display format coming with this upgrade could also help the company's tri-fold to truly stand out.
It could be that the company is intentionally leaving out the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in order to keep the costs lower for the model and help differentiate between the company's premium offerings. Previously, Samsung has been opting for stainless steel hinges for its foldable models, but a titanium hinge was used in the Galaxy Z Fold SE last year, and if we see it being continued for the upcoming fold models this year, it could help the company not only improve the model's design but also be a stepping stone in achieving more durability.
