Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 Cases Leak—But Qi2 Support Remains Underwhelming

Samsung's next-generation foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, are making waves ahead of their official launch—but not always for the right reasons. This week’s leaked images of official Samsung cases show off strikingly slim designs and new style options, but they also highlight Samsung’s continuing reluctance to fully embrace the Qi2 magnetic charging standard.

Let’s break down what these leaks reveal about Samsung’s design strategy, the state of Qi2 adoption, and how third-party tools like Smart Transfer make preparing for your next foldable upgrade easier than ever.

Case Leaks Reveal Slimmer, Sleeker Foldables

Images of Samsung’s official Galaxy Z Fold 7 cases first appeared via NieuweMobiel and were later reposted as an “exclusive” by Android Headlines, along with additional shots of Flip 7 cases. Despite the “exclusive” label, the images seem to come from the same retail source, and they tell a consistent story:

• The Galaxy Z Fold 7 looks incredibly thin—even inside a case. This marks a significant evolution from previous generations, which were often criticized for bulk.
  
  

• Samsung is preparing multiple case styles for the Fold 7, including silicone cases (some with an added grip loop), a clear case, and a premium-looking Carbon Shield option.
  
  

• Accessories include an anti-reflective screen protector for the Fold 7’s outer display.

Meanwhile, the Flip 7 leak shows off faux leather and clear ring cases. These also appear to use adhesive strips in some designs, likely for extra security on the smaller, flexible form factor.

The Disappointing Qi2 Situation

But while the cases themselves look solid, the real talking point is what they don’t support. Despite Samsung officially joining the “Qi2 Ready” program—as it did with the Galaxy S25 series—the company seems only half-invested in making it work for these new foldables.

The leaks show:

• Just one magnetic case in the entire official lineup for the Fold 7 and Flip 7.
  
  

• No broader use of magnets in other case designs, which would have allowed convenient attachment of Qi2-compatible accessories.
  
  

• The thinness of these devices makes built-in magnets even more challenging, suggesting Samsung may be hesitant to compromise design for compatibility.

Samsung is reportedly working on an Apple-style magnetic charging puck, which feels oddly incomplete given there’s only one case that would even support it. This minimalist approach mirrors what we saw with the Galaxy S25—technically Qi2 “ready,” but with minimal accessory support that undercuts the whole promise of the standard.

As Samsung’s foldables continue to get thinner, lighter, and more advanced, upgrading to a new device can be both exciting and overwhelming. That’s where Smart Transfer, a reliable third-party phone clone app, proves invaluable.

Whether you're moving from an older Galaxy Fold or Flip model—or even switching from another brand entirely—Smart Transfer helps you transfer mobile data such as photos, videos, contacts, and other important data to your new device.

Its intuitive interface and offline sharing features mean you don’t have to worry about losing cherished memories or sensitive information during the switch. It’s the perfect clone phone companion for anyone planning to preorder the Fold 7 or Flip 7 and wanting their new phone to feel like home on day one.

Reservations Open with Limited-Time Perks

Despite the Qi2 hiccup, Samsung is rolling out compelling incentives to encourage early interest in the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7. Reservations are now open, offering:

• A free $50 credit for preorders, usable on accessories like the Galaxy Watch 8.
  
  

• Up to $1,150+ in trade-in savings.
  
  

• 3x Samsung Rewards points and other exclusive perks.
  
  

• No obligation to buy—the reservation just locks in the benefits.

For those committed to Samsung’s foldable journey, it’s a smart way to secure the best deal before launch day.

Final Thoughts

Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 are shaping up to be the brand’s most refined foldables yet, with slimmer builds and stylish new case options. But the lukewarm commitment to Qi2 magnetic accessories feels like a missed opportunity to compete more directly with Apple’s seamless MagSafe ecosystem.

While Samsung’s design priorities seem focused on thinness and variety, users looking for a truly modern, magnet-friendly charging experience might feel left out. That said, with solid trade-in incentives and premium hardware improvements, these devices will still be on many shoppers’ wish lists this year.

And when it’s time to make the switch? Smart Transfer ensures your transition is easy, secure, and stress-free—so you can enjoy all the new Fold 7 and Flip 7 have to offer without missing a beat.
