【Laruan】

Samsung hasn't officially announced its next batch of foldable devices yet,Laruan but the day is coming soon, and so are the leaks.

The freshest leaks come courtesy of Android Headlines, which in two separate articles published leaked renders of the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. These two phones seem to have roughly the same form factors as their predecessors; the Fold is essentially a normal-sized phone that unfolds into a mini-tablet, while the Flip is a normal-sized phone that can collapse into a clamshell instead. The leaked renders show the devices in blue and black colorways, but Android Headlines says more colors will be available when these devices theoretically launch this summer.

Aside from both devices appearing to be very thin compared to their predecessors (something Samsung actually did already confirm would be the case), the main takeaway here is that the Z Fold 7 has a hole-punch selfie camera, as opposed to an under-display camera like the Z Fold 6 had. It remains to be seen what, if any, effects this will have on photo and video quality, but at the very least, it doesn't look as elegant as what was there before. It's possible Samsung needed to make this compromise to keep the phones thin, though the leaked renders don't make it clear whether or not the Z Flip 7 also has this feature.

On a more positive note, the outside cover display on the Flip 7 seems bigger than the Flip 6's cover screen was. Rumor has it that Samsung will announce these devices sometime this summer, and we will of course keep you updated as soon as we know more.
