Samsung Electronics has officially unveiled its Galaxy Z Fold7, marking a significant evolution in the world of foldable smartphones. As the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Fold yet, the Z Fold7 doesn’t just fold—it redefines what a flagship smartphone can be by seamlessly combining powerful hardware, intelligent Galaxy AI, and a sleek, resilient design.
With pre-orders beginning July 9 and general availability starting July 25, the Z Fold7 is already making waves across the premium smartphone segment.
Thinner, Lighter, Smarter: Built for the Ultra Lifestyle
Weighing just 215 grams and measuring only 4.2mm when unfolded, the Z Fold7 is designed for portability without compromising functionality. A wider 6.5-inch AMOLED 2X cover display paired with a stunning 8-inch main display makes this foldable a multitasking powerhouse.
Thanks to Vision Booster and 2,600 nits peak brightness, content remains vivid even under direct sunlight. This device is not only thinner—it’s tougher, with a reengineered Armor FlexHinge, Titanium plates, and Ultra-Thin Glass (50% thicker) for better durability.
Next-Level AI and One UI 8: Designed for the Fold
What truly separates the Z Fold7 from its predecessors is its deep integration of AI and software optimization, powered by One UI 8—a multimodal, context-aware interface developed for the foldable form factor.
Features like Gemini Live enable users to speak or type contextual prompts and get intelligent answers in real time, while Circle to Search and AI Results View bring information retrieval into the flow of work. With Drag & Drop AI, Drawing Assist, and Writing Assist, productivity becomes intuitive and frictionless—transforming the Fold7 into a mobile workstation.
Ultra Camera with 200MP: Imaging That Stuns
In another first, Samsung brings a 200MP wide-angle camera to its foldable lineup, promising 4x more detail and richer colors with AI-driven ProVisual Engine enhancements. A 10MP 100° wide front camera, enhanced Night Video, and 10-bit HDR video recording make the Fold7 a dream device for creators.
Features like Generative Edit, Suggest Erases, and Audio Eraser provide a creative suite right on your phone, enabling users to edit professionally with just a few taps.
Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy
Under the hood is the customized Snapdragon 8 Elite, which offers performance improvements of 41% in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU over last-gen models. This enables smoother on-device AI functions, faster video rendering, and uninterrupted multitasking—ideal for pro users and gamers alike.
Security That’s Future-Ready
With smarter AI comes smarter protection. One UI 8 introduces KEEP (Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection), ensuring sensitive app data stays securely siloed. Quantum-safe encryption in Secure Wi-Fi and advanced Knox Matrix integration reflect Samsung’s forward-looking approach to cybersecurity in the AI age.
Color Options and Availability
The Galaxy Z Fold7 comes in Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, Jetblack, and an online-exclusive Mint variant. Samsung is expected to launch aggressive pre-order bundles and trade-in offers, further strengthening its foothold in the premium segment.
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is not just Samsung’s most powerful foldable—it’s a declaration of where smartphones are headed. AI is no longer a feature; it’s the foundation. And with the Fold7, Samsung combines innovation, productivity, and style in a way that few can match.
As TM Roh, President and Acting Head of the DX Division, aptly put it, “This next chapter of foldables brings together design and engineering, with AI built specifically for the foldable form.”
