Galaxy Z Fold7: A Slimmer, More Powerful Foldable
The Galaxy Z Fold7 sets a new standard for the foldable category, being the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Z Fold to date. Weighing in at 215 grams, it’s actually lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. When folded, it’s just 8.9 mm thick, and 4.2 mm when unfolded. The cover display features a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen, perfect for easier typing and browsing when the phone is closed.
Unfolded, the Z Fold7 reveals an impressive 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x main display, which is 11% larger than its predecessor. This larger screen is ideal for multitasking and tasks powered by AI. It also delivers up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness, ensuring crystal-clear visibility even in direct sunlight.
Durability has been significantly upgraded as well. The new Armor FlexHinge features a water droplet design to reduce creasing, while the cover display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. The frame and hinge are crafted from Advanced Armor Aluminum, improving strength by 10%. To top it off, the main display benefits from a Titanium plate layer and 50% thicker Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG).
Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, which delivers a 41% performance boost in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU compared to its predecessor.
In terms of photography, the Z Fold7 packs an impressive 200MP wide-angle camera, capturing four times more detail and producing 44% brighter images. The 10MP 100° camera on the main display also allows for wider selfies. The ProVisual Engine processes images faster, and features like Night Video and 10-bit HDR enhance video quality.
Ultra AI Experience
The Galaxy Z Fold7 runs on One UI 8, based on Android 16, which has been optimized for foldable designs and large displays. AI features include Gemini Live, which lets users ask contextual questions and receive answers without switching apps, and Circle to Search, which makes retrieving information quicker and easier.
AI has been further integrated with tools like AI Results View for split-screen multitasking, and Drag & Drop for content creation. The Photo Assist feature uses AI to help edit photos, like moving or erasing objects, adjusting angles, and filling backgrounds. Portrait Studio and Generative Edit give even more control over photos, while Audio Eraser has been enhanced for better noise reduction.
Galaxy Z Flip7: Compact AI Phone
The Galaxy Z Flip7 is a more compact foldable phone, featuring a 4.1-inch Super AMOLED FlexWindow, which offers more edge-to-edge usability. Both the main display and FlexWindow are equipped with 2,600 nits of peak brightness and a 120Hz refresh rate. The main display is a 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X, ensuring vibrant visuals. When folded, the Flip7 weighs just 188 grams and is 13.7mm thick. It features Corning Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for the cover and back, and a durable Armor FlexHinge and Armor Aluminum Frame.
For battery life, the Galaxy Z Flip7 comes with a larger 4,300mAh battery, offering up to 31 hours of video playback. It is powered by the latest 3nm processor customized for Galaxy, ensuring smooth performance.
In an exciting move, the Z Flip7 now supports Samsung DeX, enabling a PC-like experience by connecting to a monitor. The One UI 8 and Android 16 integration brings AI to the FlexWindow, with Gemini Live enabling hands-free tasks, and features like Now Bar for real-time app activity and Now Brief for personalized updates. The FlexWindow’s clock adapts to match the wallpaper design as well.
The Z Flip7 also features a dual rear camera setup: a 50MP Wide lens and a 12MP Ultra-Wide lens. Enhanced Nightography improves low-light performance, and 10-bit HDR improves video quality. For selfies, the phone includes Real-Time Filters, a Zoom Slider on the FlexWindow, and Dual Preview, which lets both photographer and subject view the shot live.
Galaxy Z Flip7 FE: Affordable Foldable Experience
For those looking for a more affordable foldable phone, Samsung introduces the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. This device features a 6.7-inch main display and a 50MP FlexCam for hands-free selfies and videos in Flex Mode. The Now Brief function displays essential updates directly on the cover screen.
