Samsung is reportedly planning to equip the Galaxy Z Flip 7 with its own Exynos 2500 chipset, while the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will continue to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. The company is expected to reveal its 2025 foldable devices at the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event, likely in July.

While Samsung typically uses a dual-chip strategy for its Galaxy S-series, it has traditionally relied on Qualcomm chips for its foldable Z-series devices. There was uncertainty about which chip would power the new foldables, with early reports suggesting a full shift to Samsung's Exynos 2500. However, due to production challenges, it was initially thought that Snapdragon might still be used for both models. Now, according to 9To5Google citing The Chosun Daily, Samsung appears to be returning to its original plan.

Despite the Exynos 2500's production rate being lower than ideal (around 20-40% instead of the usual 60%), it is reportedly more cost-effective than the recently increased price of the Snapdragon chip. Due to the Flip 7's pricing limitations, Samsung has opted for the Exynos chip, even though it doesn't fully meet their usual standards. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, however, is still expected to feature the Snapdragon flagship chip.

Regarding the Galaxy Z Flip 7, it is expected to include a larger 4-inch secondary display, a significant upgrade from its predecessor, and will run One UI 8 based on Android 16. The device will be powered by the Exynos 2500 chipset and, according to its 3C certification, will support 25W fast charging. Additionally, it is rumored to have a slightly larger 4,174mAh battery, up from the 4,000mAh unit in the previous model.
