Samsung is rumoured to provide a flagship user experience in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 without introducing an Ultra model.
Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event could take place in July
Samsung recently teased its upcoming foldables, emphasising the word ‘Ultra'. This teaser sparked speculation that Samsung would introduce an Ultra-branded version of the Galaxy Z Fold lineup this year — Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra. However, a reliable tipster now claims that there will not be any Ultra model, instead the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will offer an Ultra experience. Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 7 alongside the Galaxy Z Flip 7 at the next Galaxy Unpacked event, which is rumoured to take place in July in New York.
Galaxy Z Fold 7 Ultra Isn't Coming
Max Jambor on X refuted rumours about the launch of a new Ultra-branded Galaxy Z Fold 7. He suggests that Samsung has used the Ultra term to build hype around the launch of next-generation foldables. “There's no Ultra model, at least not this summer' Jambor wrote. Instead of the new Ultra model, the “Galaxy Z Fold 7 itself will bring Ultra features”, he added.
Earlier this week, Samsung hinted at the arrival of a new product by using the word ‘Ultra'. The phone was shown with a book-style foldable form factor. Many, including Gadgets 360, speculated that it would be a higher-end variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 7. The company assured Galaxy AI features for the new model. The latest leak indicates that the new upgrades will provide a flagship user experience without introducing a distinct Ultra model.
Samsung will reportedly launch its Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 early next month. A Galaxy Unapacked launch event is said to take place in New York City. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is tipped to run on the company's in-house Exynos 2500 chipset in select markets, including Korea. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, in contrast, is said to use the Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC in all markets.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is tipped to be available in 12GB+256GB, 12GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB RAM and storage options. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Z Flip 7 could be offered in 8GB + 128GB, 12GB + 256GB and 12GB + 512GB RAM and storage models. Samsung is rumoured to unveil a Fan Edition version of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 alongside the new foldables.
