Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, are generating buzz ahead of their expected release later this year. Following the launch of the Galaxy S25 series with the new Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy SoC, there are strong indications that Samsung could bring this same powerful chipset to its foldable lineup. Leaked details from tipster PandaFlash (@PandaFlashPro) suggest that the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, which could be the company’s flagship chipset for all global variants of the device.
In the post, PandaFlash mentions that all prototypes of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 are currently equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, reinforcing the idea that this chipset will likely be the go-to choice for Samsung’s high-end foldables. This chipset is expected to offer top-tier performance, complementing the advanced foldable technology Samsung has introduced with the Galaxy Z series. On the other hand, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 may feature a different processor, as earlier leaks pointed to the inclusion of the Exynos 2500 chipset, which may be facing some production challenges.
The tipster further claims that the Exynos 2500 chipset, which was initially expected to power both foldable devices, is currently causing “production issues,” which could explain why it might only end up in the Galaxy Z Flip 7. The shift from the Exynos to the Snapdragon 8 Elite for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 suggests Samsung might prioritize performance and stability for its more premium foldable device, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
In addition to the chipset, RAM and storage configurations for the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 have also been leaked, although specific details remain unclear. With Samsung’s reputation for offering high-end specifications, both devices are likely to feature a combination of ample RAM and fast storage options to support multitasking and demanding applications. As the launch approaches, more information is expected to surface, giving fans and tech enthusiasts a clearer picture of what to expect from these next-generation foldables.
