Wi-Fi 7 was introduced to Samsung's smartphone lineup with the Galaxy S24 Ultra at the beginning of the year, but the Korean giant stuck with Wi-Fi 6E on the Galaxy S24, S24+, and S24 FE because the Exynos 2400/2400e chip powering them doesn't support Wi-Fi 7.
The only other Galaxy devices with Wi-Fi 7 connectivity this year are the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition and the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 don't support Wi-Fi 7 despite featuring the same Snapdragon chip as the Galaxy S24 Ultra worldwide, for reasons Samsung hasn't revealed.
With the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ getting Wi-Fi 7, we assume it will be a standard feature on all flagship Galaxy smartphones in 2025. However, Ultra-wideband (UWB) support is limited to the S25+ and S25 Ultra according to the FCC documents, so there will still be some disparity in connectivity features.
