The Galaxy Z Fold7: A New Era of Foldable Innovation
Samsung Electronics has once again pushed the boundaries of smartphone technology with the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7 series. This latest addition to the foldable lineup is designed to offer users an unparalleled blend of design, performance, and AI-driven features.
Ultra Sleek, Ultra Powerful
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest and lightest model in the Galaxy Z Fold series to date. When folded, it measures just 8.9 mm thick and weighs 215 grams, making it lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Its cover display is a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen with a new 21:9 aspect ratio, offering a wider viewing experience.
When unfolded, the device transforms into a larger tablet-like form, featuring an 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x main display. This screen is 11% larger than its predecessor, providing more space for multitasking and immersive content consumption. With Vision Booster and up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness, the display remains visible even in direct sunlight.
Looks Sleek, Built Tough
Despite its slim profile, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is built for durability. The Armor FlexHinge is thinner and lighter, thanks to an enhanced water droplet design and a multi-rail structure that reduces creasing and strengthens the device. The cover display uses Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, which combines glass and ceramic for enhanced durability. The frame and hinge housing are made with Advanced Armor Aluminum, increasing strength by 10%.
The main display has been restructured to be both thinner and stronger, incorporating a titanium plate layer and thicker ultra-thin glass (UTG) for added resilience.
Most Powerful Processor Customised for Galaxy
Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor. This chip delivers significant performance boosts, including a 41% increase in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU compared to the previous generation. This power enables seamless on-device AI processing for tasks like real-time language translation and Generative Edits.
Ultra 200MP Camera
The Galaxy Z Fold7 features a 200MP wide-angle camera, capturing four times more detail and producing images that are 44% brighter. The 10MP 100° camera on the main display expands the frame for group selfies and broader shots. Samsung’s next-generation ProVisual Engine processes images faster, resulting in sharper and more vibrant photos and videos.
With Night Video, intelligent motion detection separates moving subjects from still backgrounds to reduce noise. 10-bit HDR provides richer color depth and deeper contrast, ensuring high-quality video regardless of lighting conditions.
Creative Editing with Big Screen
The large display of the Galaxy Z Fold7 offers advanced creative tools optimized for multitasking. Features like Photo Assist allow users to move, erase, or enlarge objects and adjust angles with AI-powered precision. Portrait Studio enhances portraits, while Generative Edit offers proactive suggestions for removing distractions and filling in backgrounds.
Side-by-Side Editing and Show Original enable real-time comparisons of original and edited images, while Audio Eraser upgrades to detect and remove unwanted background noise from videos.
Ultra AI Experience
Galaxy Z Fold7 integrates the latest AI advancements through One UI 8, which is context-aware and responsive to the flexible format of the device. Gemini Live enhances multimodal AI capabilities, allowing users to ask questions about what they see, say, or do without switching between apps.
Features like Circle to Search provide instant results, while AI Results View displays AI-generated content in split or floating views. Tools like Drawing Assist and Writing Assist streamline the creative process, making it easier to move ideas and visuals.
Future-Ready Mobile Security
Samsung has reinforced security with new protections for on-device AI, expanded cross-device threat detection, and quantum-resistant encryption. Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP) creates encrypted storage environments for apps, ensuring data privacy. Secure Wi-Fi now includes post-quantum cryptography for robust privacy over public networks.
