Galaxy Z Fold 7 Will Be Slimmest Fold Phone From Samsung Yet
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be one of the slimmest phones in the Z Fold series, according to the tipster. It will measure 4.9mm when unfolded and 10.6mm after you fold it. This will make the Z Fold 7 have similar dimensions as the Z Fold Special Edtion, which was exclusive to South Korea.
The Fold 7 is the slimmest Fold ever, thanks to the S Pen downgrade.
However, tipster Kro has claimed that Samsung is sacrificing one key feature to achieve this feat. It is downgrading some of the features present in the S-Pen. This is likely done by removing the digitzer layer that supports the S-Pen although Samsung is working on alternate solution.
