Samsung‘s Galaxy Z Fold 7 is just around the corner as Samsung should be preparing to unveil it in the near future, and everything from the chipset being a Snapdragon from Qualcomm to how thin it might be has been talked about, with rumors claiming to know just about every little detail about Samsung’s upcoming foldable phone.
Past rumors have suggested that Samsung might use an in-house Exynos chip for its Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Other rumors still claimed it would be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, like what the company used in the Galaxy S25 series. As it turns out, it seems that Samsung will indeed be using a Snapdragon 8 Elite inside its Galaxy Z Fold 7. At least if information from a recent report turns out to be accurate.
FCC documentation suggests the Galaxy Z Fold 7 will run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite
While it’s not a confirmation directly from Samsung, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 has recently shown up at the FCC, and in the regulatory documentation, it shows that the phone will be using the SM8750 chipset. The SM8750 is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite. So this is an unofficial confirmation that the phone will be using Qualcomm’s latest flagship chipset.
It’s worth noting that the FCC documentation doesn’t mention the Galaxy Z Fold 7 by name. It does list a model number, though, and the model number is SM-F966B, which follows Samsung’s model number labeling for the previous Galaxy Z Fold phones. As noted by SamMobile, this is likely the international version of the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will still use an Exynos chip in at least one variant
Samsung will reportedly be using the Snapdragon 8 Elite in most variants of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, but not all. A report from earlier this week seems to confirm (again, unofficially) that Samsung is going with Qualcomm in all Galaxy Z Flip 7 models except for one. The South Korean version of the phone will come with the Exynos 2500.
