Last year’s model ran on a Snapdragon chipset

• Samsung has used Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chipsets in its foldable phones since the beginning. If the latest leak turns out to be true, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 could be the first phone to use the company’s in-house Exynos SoC.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is expected to launch alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in July. It is rumoured to come with a 3.6-inch cover display and a 6.8-inch inner display. It may feature 12GB of RAM and could be offered in 256GB or 512GB storage options. It is expected to feature a dual rear camera unit with a 50-megapixel primary sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor. It is likely to pack a 4,300mAh battery and offer 25W wired charging speeds.

Samsung is believed to launch its Galaxy Z Flip 7 at the Galaxy Unpacked event later this year. While details about the clamshell foldable phone have not been officially confirmed, new rumours about its specifications have surfaced on the web. According to a new report, Samsung may use its in-house Exynos 2500 chipset in its upcoming foldable phone. This will be a departure from the recent past, when Samsung used Qualcomm chipsets for its foldable phones.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 May Run on Exynos 2500

According to a report by Korean publication Seoul Economic Daily, Samsung’s Mobile Experience (MX) division will start mass production of the new foldable phone in May at factories in Gumi, Gyeongsangbuk-do (Korea) and Vietnam. The brand is reportedly planning to make around 2,40,000 units of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and around 1,70,000 units of the rumoured Galaxy Z Flip FE. Meanwhile, around 1,60,000 units of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will reportedly be made in four colours, including a new Coral Red colour option that matches the Galaxy S25 series.

The report states that Samsung’s MX division is conducting final tests on putting the Exynos 2500 chip on the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The brand is currently working on adopting its in-house chipset in the next-generation flip-style foldable phones regardless of the region.

The Exynos 2500 chipset, designed by Samsung’s System LSI division and manufactured on a 3nm process, was originally planned to be fitted in the Galaxy S25 series. However, it was cancelled due to performance issues and other unknown reasons, the report said.
