Samsung starts testing One UI 7 for Galaxy Z Fold 7

Galaxy Z Fold 7 firmware spotted on Samsung's servers; could be One UI 7.0.1

The first software build for the USA variant of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 (SM-F966U) has been spotted (via @tarunvats33) on Samsung's servers. The build has firmware version F966USQU0AYB3, and it is likely based on Android 15 (One UI 7.x).

Usually, Samsung launches its foldable phones with a One UI x.1.1 (x stands for an appropriate number for that year) version. However, as we exclusively reported a few days ago, Samsung is considering skipping One UI 7.1.1 this year due to the delay in the release of the stable One UI 7.0 update for existing phones.

So, it could launch the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 7 with One UI 7.0.1 instead.

What to expect from Galaxy Z Fold 7?

The Galaxy Z Fold 7 reportedly features a screen aspect ratio similar to the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition. So, compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 6, it could have bigger screens (6.5-inch cover and 8-inch foldable) with almost no visible crease on the foldable screen. Some reports claim that the phone will not have S Pen compatibility.

The phone could be as thin as 10mm and could have a 4,400mAh battery with 45W fast charging. It could have a 200MP primary camera, an ultrawide camera, and a telephoto camera.

The phone could use the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, at least 16GB RAM, and 256GB or more internal storage. It could continue to feature an IP68 rating, stereo speakers, and a side-mounted fingerprint reader as its predecessor.
