Design Updates May Be Minor, but Inside Is Where It Gets Interesting

While the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is expected to get a bigger screen and more streamlined body, the Z Flip 7 can’t be expected to have huge design changes. But it’s the inside where the action happens. Samsung will reportedly launch a Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE variant too, which will be aimed at the affordable market, perhaps to challenge the Motorola Razr 50.

Exynos 2500: Samsung’s First 3nm Chip Finally Finds a Home

Credible sources such as SamMobile indicate that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 will feature the much-awaited Exynos 2500 chipset. This 3nm chip was initially set to arrive on the Galaxy S25 but encountered production issues. Interestingly, the lower-end Z Flip 7 FE isn’t rumored to carry this cutting-edge processor.

Cutting-Edge Specs on Paper

The Exynos 2500 is said to come with a 10-core CPU that runs at a 3.3GHz top clock speed, supported by an Xclipse 950 GPU and 16MB of L3 cache. The chip is fabricated with Samsung’s second-generation 3nm node and is expected to bring large-scale improvements in power efficiency and performance. It is a considerable upgrade compared to the Exynos 2400, which went into the Galaxy S24 and showed good results in everyday usage.

Target Markets to Try Samsung’s Custom Silicon

The new Exynos chip will not be available worldwide. Samsung will launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 featuring this processor in certain markets, such as India and South Korea. Other markets will likely continue to get a Snapdragon-based variant, which maintains the company’s dual-chip approach. This regional rollout will enable Samsung to dip its toes before fully jumping into its home-grown silicon for foldables.

Breaking Away from Qualcomm: Samsung Foldables’ Daring First

This will be the first instance of Samsung offering its Exynos processor in a foldable smartphone, a territory till now owned by Qualcomm processors. The step reflects Samsung’s increasing faith in its silicon prowess and paves the way for its future flagships to do the same, potentially cutting its reliance on third-party chipmakers.

Verdict: A Strategic Shift in Samsung’s Foldable Playbook

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 might not dramatically transform in look, but it will be a gargantuan leap forward for Samsung’s future with foldables. The launch of the 3nm Exynos 2500 is not merely about streamlining its hardware , it’s recasting its own identity as an independent tech titan.
