Samsung is gearing up for the highly anticipated release of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Earlier this week, the tech giant teased its next Unpacked event along with the new foldable smartphones, leaving fans excited about the upcoming launch. However, the official launch date and location are yet to be announced. In an intriguing twist, it seems that Samsung may have inadvertently revealed key details about these next-gen foldable devices.
In a surprising turn of events, Samsung uploaded a version of the Samsung Internet Browser specifically labeled "for Fold7 and Flip7" to the Galaxy Store, as reported by GalaxyClub. This unusual move has led to speculation regarding the features and specifications of the upcoming foldable smartphones.
The newly discovered entries for the Samsung Internet Browser app indicate that there are two new versions available in the Galaxy Store. These can also be viewed on desktop browsers through the provided links. Interestingly, the question arises: will the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 utilize a unique version of the Samsung Internet Browser? While this is a possibility, it seems unlikely based on the current details.
At present, both of these versions—28.0.2.43—are virtually identical, weighing in at 171.11 MB. They were uploaded to the Galaxy Store just two days apart under different names, yet they essentially represent the same Internet Browser. This raises questions about Samsung's intentions behind these entries.
From the information available, these entries in the Galaxy Store seem to confirm that the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 will indeed run on the Android 16-based One UI 8 software. The addition of a foldable-specific version of the Samsung Internet Browser could indicate that Samsung is preparing for unique features tailored to these next-gen foldable devices.
However, the reasoning behind this specific entry remains unclear. It could simply be a placeholder that Samsung plans to replace with a specialized Internet Browser version for the foldable phones at a later date. As it stands, the current version of the Internet Browser for the seventh-generation foldables mirrors the one available for the One UI 8 beta.
As we await official announcements regarding the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, it remains to be seen how Samsung will continue to evolve its foldable technology. The excitement surrounding these devices is palpable, and further updates are expected as the launch date approaches. Stay tuned for the latest developments, as we will keep you informed about any new information that emerges.
