Samsung Unveils Exciting New Devices at Galaxy Unpacked Event
Samsung recently held its Galaxy Unpacked event in Brooklyn, New York, where it revealed several new devices. Among them were the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7, which are the latest foldable smartphones from the company. Alongside these, Samsung also introduced a new line of Galaxy Watch8 wearables. While the Flip7 and the Watch8 range have their own set of upgrades, the Fold7 is clearly the highlight of the event.
During the event, I had the opportunity to get a hands-on experience with all of the new devices. Based on my experience, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is positioned to redefine what foldable smartphones can achieve. Its slim form factor and high-end specifications make it stand out. The device has a wow factor that could potentially attract many who have previously hesitated due to the high price point. It’s a significant step forward for Samsung’s flagship foldable line.
Let’s take a closer look at the details of the Galaxy Z Fold7 and other new devices.
Galaxy Z Fold7
The Galaxy Z Fold7 comes with various memory and storage configurations:
- 12GB memory with 256GB internal storage: AUD$2,899
- 12GB memory with 512GB internal storage: AUD$3,099
- 16GB memory with 1TB internal storage: AUD$3,549
This is Samsung’s most premium foldable smartphone yet. The standout feature is its extremely slim build, making it comparable in size to a traditional candybar-style phone when folded. This is paired with enhanced camera capabilities and AI-powered features, making it a strong contender in the market.
The Fold7 features the largest internal and external screens ever seen in the Fold series. The internal display measures 8.0 inches diagonally, while the external one is 6.5 inches. This is a significant improvement over the previous model. Additionally, the Fold7 is lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, weighing just 215 grams, and thinner when folded at 8.9 mm.
Running on Samsung’s new One UI 8 operating system, the Fold7 is designed to handle complex tasks through intelligent multitasking tools. The OS supports real-time language translation and generative photo edits, enhancing user experience.
The camera system includes a 200.0 MP wide-angle lens, a 12.0 MP lens, and a 10.0 MP lens. The 200.0 MP wide-angle lens offers four times the detail of the previous model. The main display also features a 10.0 MP camera with a 100-degree angle, making it easier to capture selfies and important moments.
The Galaxy Z Fold7 is now available for pre-order and will launch on August 1st, 2025. It comes in Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, Jet-black, and an online-exclusive Mint finish.

Galaxy Z Flip7
The Galaxy Z Flip7 is more accessible than its Fold counterpart. It features an upgraded cover screen, a slimmer build, and improved camera performance. The most notable upgrade is the new 4.1-inch Super AMOLED FlexWindow, which is edge-to-edge, similar to the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra.
The Flip7 also runs on One UI 8, offering an intuitive, one-handed experience. It includes features like real-time filters and a zoom slider for enhanced photography. The phone has a 50MP Wide and a 12MP Ultra-Wide lens, providing excellent clarity in various lighting conditions.
