One UI 8 leaked firmware corroborates Galaxy Z Flip 7’s big design change (APK teardown)

Leaks first suggested no design change for the Galaxy Z Flip 7, but were then revised to showcase a bigger cover display.
Thanks to animation files within the leaked One UI 8 firmware, we can corroborate that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 could indeed have a bigger cover display.
The new design appears to be inspired by the Motorola Razr Plus. Other specifications of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 could stay the same as the Flip 6 before it.

Samsung pioneered foldables as a category of the best Android flagships, but of late, the company’s innovation in this segment has plateaued. When leaks for the upcoming Galaxy Z Flip 7 first emerged, they showed off a very similar design to the Galaxy Z Flip 6, but no one was surprised because it seemed on-brand for Samsung lately. Thankfully, newer renders suggested that the Flip 7 could see a design change, and we now have corroborative evidence to suggest a larger cover display.

A corrected report from Android Headlines suggested that the Galaxy Z Flip 7 could adopt a design based on the Motorola Razr Plus. The renders showcased the Flip 7’s 4-inch cover display, which seemingly takes up the entirety of the device’s front cover, with cutouts for just the two cameras.
