The Geekbench website has listed the purported Galaxy Z Fold 7 with model number SM-F966N. A similar handset with the model number SM-F966U had previously appeared on the benchmarking site in April. The model number SM-F966N is believed to be associated with the Korean variant of the foldable.
As per the Geekbench listing, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 would run on Android 16 and include at least 12GB of RAM.

Additionally, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 on the listing has received a single-core score of 2,617 and a multi-core score of 9,369. For reference, the prototype with SM-F966U has scored 18,143 points on the OpenCL test on Geekbench.

Samsung is speculated to launch the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in July with a starting price tag of Rs. 1,64,999 for the base 12GB RAM + 256GB storage model.
