This latest iteration in the Galaxy Z series seamlessly blends precision engineering and powerful intelligence into its thinnest and lightest design to date, promising to elevate everyday interactions for users globally.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Unveiled

According to TM Roh, President and Acting Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics, the Galaxy Z Fold7 “combines Galaxy AI with powerful hardware to deliver our most advanced smartphone experience yet.” He emphasized that this “next chapter of foldables brings together design and engineering, with AI built specifically for the foldable form,” offering an “ultra experience” that is “powerful, immersive, intelligent, and portable all in one.”

Ultra Sleek, Ultra Powerful: Thinnest and Lightest Galaxy Z Fold Yet

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is meticulously crafted for users seeking the everyday portability and intuitive feel of a traditional smartphone, coupled with the enhanced power and flexibility of a larger, unfolded display. All of this is delivered in a single, revolutionary device. Its ultra-thin and light form factor, combined with a wider cover display, ensures a seamless on-the-go experience, making tasks like typing and Browse effortless even when folded.

Remarkably, the Galaxy Z Fold7 weighs just 215 grams, making it lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. When folded, it measures a mere 8.9 mm thick, and an astonishing 4.2 mm when unfolded. The device features a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover display with a new 21:9 aspect ratio, offering a wider screen for improved usability.

Most Expansive Screen on a Galaxy Smartphone

When unfolded, the Galaxy Z Fold7 transcends the definition of a mere smartphone. It transforms into a versatile device, revealing an expansive 8-inch main display that significantly expands the workspace for editing, multitasking, and immersive viewing, truly maximizing the potential of Galaxy AI.

The main display is an impressive 11% larger than the previous generation, providing even more screen real estate for content creation and efficient multitasking across multiple applications.

The 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display delivers ultra-rich contrast, true blacks, and vibrant detail, making everything from movies to multiple open tabs appear exceptionally vivid. With Vision Booster and a peak brightness of up to 2,600 nits, the Galaxy Z Fold7 ensures brilliant visibility even under direct sunlight.

Looks Sleek, Built Tough: Engineered for Durability

Despite its thin and light profile, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is engineered for exceptional everyday durability. It’s built to withstand repeated folding and the rigors of daily use, thanks to a restructured hinge and foldable display designed for longevity.

The new Armor FlexHinge is both thinner and lighter, incorporating an enhanced water droplet design and a newly implemented multi-rail structure. This innovative design reduces visible creasing and significantly strengthens durability by evenly dispersing stress.

The cover display is fortified with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2, a new glass ceramic with intricately embedded crystals, ensuring enhanced screen durability and crack deflection in a remarkably thin form factor.

Furthermore, Advanced Armor Aluminum used in the frame and hinge housing increases strength and hardness by an impressive 10%. The main display has also been restructured to be thinner, lighter, and yet stronger, achieved by implementing a Titanium plate layer and increasing the Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) thickness by 50%.

The Most Powerful Processor Customized for Galaxy

Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is powered by the best-in-class processor uniquely customized for Galaxy devices. This powerful engine accelerates on-device AI processing tasks, such as real-time language translation and Generative Edit, making them faster and more seamless than ever before.

The Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy delivers significant performance boosts: 41% in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU compared to the previous generation. This formidable power fuels the Galaxy Z Fold7’s ability to process more complex AI experiences directly on the device without any compromise in performance.

Ultra 200MP Camera: Ultra Detailed, Ultra Clear Photos

The Galaxy Z Fold7 now brings the best of Samsung’s pro-grade camera experience to a foldable device. It combines advanced hardware with intelligent processing for consistently stunning results.

Its high-resolution camera captures incredible detail, vibrant color, and rich texture, allowing users to relive every moment with stunning clarity. AI-enhanced imaging automatically optimizes lighting, detail, and realism, ensuring photos and videos remain sharp and vivid, even in challenging low-light conditions.

Featuring the first 200MP wide-angle camera in the Galaxy Z series, it captures four times more detail and produces images that are 44% brighter.

The 10MP 100° camera on the main display expands the frame, making it easy to capture group selfies, valuable moments, and more of the world in a single shot when the phone is unfolded.

Samsung’s next-generation ProVisual Engine processes images faster, ensuring every photo and video is crisp, vibrant, and full of detail. With Night Video, intelligent motion detection now separates moving subjects from still backgrounds to reduce noise. Additionally, 10-bit HDR provides greater color depth, resulting in videos with richer colors, deeper contrast, and more lifelike detail.

Creative Editing with the Big Screen

The Galaxy Z Fold7 puts a pro-grade creative studio directly in users’ pockets, with powerful AI-powered tools optimized for its large display. Users can capture stunning photos and videos and then edit them with remarkable ease.

From removing clutter in product shots to eliminating background noise from recordings, studio-quality enhancements can be achieved in just a few simple steps. The intuitive and intelligent features on the Galaxy Z Fold7 effortlessly transform photos and videos into professional-level content, without the need for additional tools.

Photos look flawless with Photo Assist, which leverages AI to precisely move, erase, or enlarge objects, adjust angles, and fill in backgrounds. Users can capture vibrant expressions, including pet profiles, with Portrait Studio and refine their photos using Galaxy’s enhanced Generative Edit.

The ability to seamlessly remove distractions and fill in backgrounds has made Generative Edit a fan favorite, and it’s now even smarter with new Suggest Erases, which automatically detects passersby with a tap. Side-by-Side Editing and Show Original enable real-time comparison of original and edited images on the large screen, simplifying the decision-making process.

Audio Eraser has also been upgraded to be more intelligent and convenient, now proactively detecting and removing unwanted background noise like wind or traffic from video recordings directly from the Gallery.

Ultra AI Experience: The Next Era of Galaxy AI on the Large Screen

The Galaxy Z Fold7 harnesses the power of its foldable display to amplify the convenience and power of AI, delivering experiences that are intuitive, adaptive, and effortlessly efficient.

With the new One UI 8 as its foundation, which is context-aware and naturally responsive, optimized for the Galaxy Z Fold7’s flexible format and expansive screen, users can interact with AI in a more immersive and intuitive way.

This includes unveiling new protections for on-device AI, expanding cross-device threat detection, and enhancing network security with quantum-resistant encryption. One UI 8 brings enhanced privacy to personalized AI experiences with the new Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP).

KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments within the device’s secure storage area, ensuring each app can access only its sensitive information. With One UI 8, Samsung is advancing Knox Matrix to deliver more proactive and user-friendly protection across the Galaxy ecosystem.

Furthermore, as part of its ongoing commitment to quantum-safe security, Samsung is integrating post-quantum cryptography into Secure Wi-Fi, enhancing the key exchange process at the core of encrypted connections to ensure robust privacy even over public networks.
