Samsung’s new Galaxy jade fold 7 An impressive book-style is foldable that has been going on for many long time that has angered the Guna series for many years. I spent a weekend with the device, and how much of its low weight and thickness was felt when felt like a standard candy bar phone.

The cover screen is widespread and more useful, the internal performance is larger at eight inches, and the new 200MP camera sensor means that imagery is not a major sacrifice at the moment.
As far as it has come, Fold 7 still has some notable drawbacks, and the rumor mill is already difficult to work, which are waiting for the Galaxy Z Fold 8, why the right choice can be. Samsung has referred to Z Fold 7 as one “Trade-off” deviceWith S Pen support and loss of stable battery capacity. Here are some reasons that I think Z will be 8, when released, the final option will be.
A (actually) crease-free display
The foldables have always been plagued with an important negative side: a visible and often in the middle of the display under the ugly crease. Sure, it has improved a lot in years, but it is never In right terms Went away.
It can change with Galaxy Z fold 8, according to Honored supply chain analyst ming-chi kuoWhich reports that the new “laser-drained” metal plates under Samsung’s next fold screen will be used to eliminate the crease. They do this, according to the report, by spreading the stress in a way, by turning the display in a way, which allows the panel to bend without creating permanent marks.

Kuo also reports that Apple is planning to use the same technology in its own undisclosed foldable iPhone, currently slapped at the end of 2026. As we know, when Apple does something, the industry follows. Samsung, in this case, an innocent apple foldable cannot bear the risk of shipping a Z fold 8 with a visual crease against the iphone display.
I have grown up to accept the crease as a by -appeal to use the latest and largest technology, but ending that crease will be a big step to bring forward the foldable form factor in acceptance among users everyday.
Battery requires upgrade
When it comes to power and charging, the Z fold series has found itself in a slight rote, with the battery capacity stable since Z fold 3 at 4,400mAh. Meanwhile, contestants such as the latest magic V5 of Honor and Find N Series of Oppo are advancing the capacity of 6000mAh mark using the next generation silicon battery technology.
Samsung has not yet submerged his toes in this water, but its officials have admitted that they are working on it. In a briefing during Galaxy Anapac, the head of Samsung’s smartphone planning Minsake Kang confirmed Samsung’s research efforts and future phones are once satisfied with their credibility. Samsung certainly knows that its battery capacity is overdue to upgrade, so it makes sense that we can see that this technique comes on Z fold 8 next year.

Not only this, but the wired charging speed of Z fold is very slow at 25W maximum speed, which is much slower than most flagships, is about 90 minutes to fully charge zero. The magic V5 supports up to 66W fast charge, and Oppo pushed N in the 80W range.
Yes, these are Chinese foldables that often push borders compared to the American market, but even recently launched Moto Razra Ultra up to 68W up to a fast charge up to 68W, capable of making a full charge in about 40 minutes. There is a lot of space in the Z fold 8 in the region, and time to do so.
So we meet again, pen
A change that attracted a lot of attention with Z fold 7 is to remove Samsung’s pen. In search of a lighter, thin foldable company, it removed the active digitizer layer required to integrate the active stylus into experience. Electric users who have grown up to love S Penn are an outspoken minority that Samsung has been cultivating for years, so it is unlikely that the company wants to leave them completely.

The good news is that Samsung has already indicated on the future Z fold on the return of S Penn. Kang shared that Samsung “is researching and developing thin and innovative technologies for S Pains” because the company rethinks the return of capacity for future models.
Perhaps Samsung can develop a thin digitizer, a new S pen design, or even an integrated slot (a dream) with a fold 8. Samsung accepts public backlash, and this may return a true discrimination in the foldable market.
Next performance on a 2Nm chip
The Z fold 7 already packs Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Series Chip with a special overclock “Galaxy” variants, but the fold 8 can take a big step in performance and efficiency with the expected shift for a 2Nm construction process.
Report out of Korea Share that Qualcomm is partnership with the Samsung Foundry for a special “Galaxy” variant of Snapdragon 8 Elite Jean 2 on Samsung’s 2Nm mode of Samsung. The plan is that at the end of 2025 or at the beginning of 2026, Samsung’s chip fabs will be ready to move around 2Nm chips, which they have a lot of time to appear with the Galaxy Z fold 8 later in the year.

These will be some of the first smartphones to be built on 2Nm technology, which produce large performance and power upgradation, producing less heat. Considering the discovery of slimness of Z fold, this heat decrease will be a welcome sub -product. This upgrade will easily dismiss the current fold 7 chip manufactured on a 3Nm process, but also gives Samsung a serious leg than rivals, possibly an apple iPhone foldable.
final thoughts
Galaxy jade fold 7 Samsung proves that a foldable is capable of shipping that looks like everyday phone. I have great respect for Samsung’s constant recurrence on this concept, and they continue to distribute the most polish book-style foldable available to wide audiences around the world.
However, evidence suggests that some incredible successes may wait for those who wait for a while for the next update of the series. For me, I am looking closely.
