Samsung is raising the bar once again in the foldable smartphone category with the official launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7, the company’s most advanced foldable device to date.
Engineered to be thinner, lighter, and more intelligent than ever before, the Galaxy Z Fold7 seamlessly combines cutting-edge hardware with Galaxy AI, creating an ultra-premium device that’s built for productivity, creativity, and immersive content consumption.
The Galaxy Z Fold7 introduces a refined blend of portability and power, packed in a sleek form factor that houses a massive, immersive display and pro-level camera hardware—all running on Samsung’s latest One UI 8 operating system optimized for foldables and powered by Android 16.
Slimmer Form, Bigger Impact
Weighing just 215 grams and measuring only 8.9mm when folded, the Galaxy Z Fold7 stands as Samsung’s thinnest and lightest foldable ever. The wider 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x cover screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio offers a more intuitive experience for one-handed use. When unfolded, the device transforms into an 8-inch main display, now 11% larger than its predecessor, perfect for editing documents, watching content, or managing multiple apps side by side.
The display delivers vivid contrast, deep blacks, and excellent visibility with up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness and Samsung’s Vision Booster technology, ensuring readability even in direct sunlight.
Built Tough with Premium Materials
Despite its ultra-slim form, the Galaxy Z Fold7 doesn’t skimp on durability. The newly redesigned Armor FlexHinge utilizes a multi-rail water droplet structure, distributing pressure evenly to reduce creasing and extend longevity. For added protection, the outer display features Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, offering enhanced scratch and crack resistance, while the frame is reinforced with Armor Aluminum.
Samsung also thickened its Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) by 50%, and introduced a titanium layer beneath the display, giving the screen improved rigidity without adding weight. This level of engineering positions the Galaxy Z Fold7 as a device built for both luxury and everyday resilience.
Galaxy AI Gets a Foldable Upgrade
Running on the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the Z Fold7 offers impressive boosts in on-device AI tasks, with performance improvements of up to 41% in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU over the previous generation. These enhancements power real-time translation, photo editing, and creative workflows right from the device.
Paired with the upgraded One UI 8, Galaxy AI now supports enhanced multitasking and content creation features. Gemini Live offers context-aware answers through multimodal AI that understands what users are typing, saying, or viewing. With Circle to Search, users can quickly pull up gaming tips or information on-screen without disrupting their workflow.
Tools like Photo Assist, Generative Edit, and Audio Eraser have also become smarter, now offering proactive suggestions and more intuitive controls. The large display makes it easy to edit, compare, and finalize photos or videos in real time, enhancing creative efficiency.
Pro-Grade Imaging with 200MP Main Camera
Samsung has brought flagship-level photography to its foldable lineup. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the first in the series to feature a 200MP wide-angle camera, delivering photos with 4x the detail and up to 44% brighter images. Enhanced low-light performance, Night Video with motion detection, and 10-bit HDR ensure cinematic quality in any environment.
Whether capturing group shots with the 100° 10MP camera, snapping selfies, or filming content, the Galaxy Z Fold7 adapts with AI-enhanced scene recognition and automatic optimization.
