Galaxy Z Fold 7’s display crease is “almost gone”: claims tipster

Samsung has started shipping the pre-ordered Galaxy S25 series models in India, which will hit the shelves on February 7th. It’s time for the upcoming foldables to enter the conversation. The latest news is about the display crease of the Galaxy Z Fold 7.

According to tipster PandaFlash X, the display crease on the Z Fold 7 is “almost gone”. Reportedly, you can only notice the crease when light reflects from certain angles, which suggests that it won’t be noticeable in most cases when you’re looking at the display straight.

Samsung has improved this aspect over the years, but the crease is still noticeable and certainly isn’t the least visible as compared to some of its competitors. The crease largely depends on the folding mechanism, and according to recent reports, Samsung has opted for an improved hinge design for the upcoming book-style foldable.

The company launched the South Korea-exclusive Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition last year with a different hinge design, which makes it thinner than the Z Fold 6 (10.6 mm down from 12.1mm). Now the Z Fold 7 is expected to be based on the same mechanism as the Z Fold SE (Special Edition). So, you may expect the crease to remain the same, if not slightly less visible than that of the Z Fold SE.

The book-style foldable is also rumored to boast a 200MP main camera. However, the phone is going to be slimmer than the Z Fold 6 (which uses a smaller 50MP main sensor), and it’s unlikely to happen without the adoption of the ALOP lens tech or ruining the design aesthetic of a Z Fold device. Nonetheless, Samsung announced its new ALOP lens technology back in November last year and they can debut it with the next premium foldable device.

A recent teardown video reveals Samsung has upgraded the Galaxy S25 series with larger VC cooling systems. Now the tipster claims the same thing will happen with both the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7.
