Samsung is making strategic moves to enhance both its foldable and flagship smartphone lineups, with major changes coming to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy S25+ series.
The tech giant is reportedly revamping the S Pen technology in the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7, shifting from electromagnetic resonance (EMR) to active electrostatic (AES) technology. This change would eliminate the need for an extra display layer, potentially making the device noticeably thinner than its predecessor's 12.1mm profile.
While this modification means users will need to charge their S Pen - similar to Apple's Pencil - it represents Samsung's push to compete with ultra-slim competitors like the Honor Magic V3, which measures just 9.2mm.
In parallel developments, leaked hands-on photos of the Galaxy S25+ have surfaced, showcasing refined design elements including slimmer bezels. The device appears to maintain its premium positioning with a 6.7-inch display and is expected to feature either a Snapdragon 8 Elite or Exynos 2500 processor.
Notable upgrades include a 4,900mAh battery with 45W charging capabilities and improved 25W wireless charging through Qi2 compatibility. The S25+ will also introduce new security features through Android 15 and One UI 7.0, with a special focus on Galaxy AI capabilities.
Samsung is expected to preview these innovations at CES, followed by a full reveal at Galaxy Unpacked on January 22nd. These updates reflect Samsung's commitment to advancing its smartphone technology while maintaining competitive edges in both foldable and traditional smartphone markets.
