The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and a new Samsung tri-fold phone may launch in July with rumored titanium backplates for lighter and more durable foldables.
The titanium backplate trend in smartphones is seen in models like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra; however, it could make upcoming foldables more expensive.
Rumors suggest the Galaxy Z Fold 7 may eliminate the digitizer to enable S Pen support and achieve a thinner design, following the trend of thin smartphones.
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and tri-fold model may share certain features like hinges and speakers and could be announced together with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 in July.
