Samsung is working on (at least) three new foldable phones for 2025.

This is according to Android Authority, which found clues for upcoming devices in the latest One UI 7 beta.

The beta software contains model numbers of all of recent Samsung flagships, as well as a few that are scheduled to come out next year.

There's nothing surprising about the three new Galaxy S models listed - they're scheduled to come in January, and they're likely to be the Samsung Galaxy S25, Samsung Galaxy 25+, and Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

But the codenames also indicate that Samsung is working on three new foldable phones. These are likely to be the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, and Samsung Galaxy Flip 7. The third one is somewhat of a mystery, but it's most likely to be the successor to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition (so, it might be called the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition 2).

The original Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition launched in October 2024 as a significantly upgraded version of the Galaxy Z Fold 6, with an improved camera and larger displays.

The list of model numbers that Android Authority had found in the One UI 7 beta is also notable for what is missing; namely, the rumored Galaxy S25 Slim, and the Galaxy Z Flip FE. Given that it's not an official list, it's possible that these two rumored devices still launch at some point.
