Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 have entered production

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 foldable smartphones have entered production and will be on shelves soon. Samsung was previously reported to be planning to begin production in May of this year and the company has fortunately been able to meet its deadline.

The Fold 7 and Flip 7 have been given lowered production targets this year after the foldable industry continues to not meet sales expectations. Samsung has reportedly decided to only manufacture three million Flip 7 units and two million Fold 7 units: a 40 percent decline from the previous generation.

In addition to the phones, accessories for both the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 have also entered production. A Galaxy tri-foldable phone is also likely coming later in the year and production targets for that are even lower at only 200,000 units. Samsung does not expect many sales for its tri-foldable smartphone due to the high price tag.

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is very likely going to be powered by the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset that powers the entire Galaxy S25 series. Meanwhile the Galaxy Z Flip 7’s choice of processor is still up for debate. Exynos test variants of the Flip 7 have been spotted but some reports claim that Samsung has not been able to get the Exynos 2500 ready in time. If that is the case then the Flip 7 will probably also be powered by a Snapdragon chipset.
