Kerry Wan/ZDNETThis week, a series of images and spec lists for Samsung’s upcoming foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 7, were leaked. The information comes from notable insider OnLeaks, which shared the details with Android Headlines.Also: Oppo’s new foldable phone is one of the thinnest I’ve seen – and I hope OnePlus and Samsung follow suitIt seems Samsung has been inspired by ultra-thin foldables like the OPPO Find N5, as the upcoming Galaxy Z handset is set to introduce a significant design change.
