Rashad Iskandrni
The most advanced Galaxy Z series yet, seamlessly blending precision engineering
and powerful intelligence to
elevate everyday interactions – all in its thinnest and lightest design to date
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Jul 9, 2025 - Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced Galaxy Z Fold7, a device that brings
together the best of Galaxy design, camera functionality and AI innovation in
the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Z Fold series to date. It delivers the premium
performance and experience of an ultra smartphone, while unlocking new levels
of efficiency and productivity with a larger, more immersive display when
unfolded. And with the new
One UI 8 as its foundation, it seamlessly integrates intelligent, multimodal
agents optimized for the foldable form factor.
“Galaxy Z Fold7 combines Galaxy AI with powerful
hardware to deliver our most advanced smartphone experience yet,” said TM Roh, President and Acting Head of the Device eXperience (DX)
Division at Samsung Electronics.“This next chapter of foldables
brings together design and engineering, with AI built specifically for the
foldable form. It gives people the ultra experience they want— powerful,
immersive, intelligent, and portable all in one.”
Ultra Sleek, Ultra Powerful
Thinnest,
Lightest Galaxy Z Fold
Galaxy
Z Fold7 is crafted for those who want the everyday portability and intuitive
feel of a traditional smartphone, combined with the enhanced power and
flexibility of a larger, unfolded display – all in one device. With its ultra thin and light design and
wider cover display, Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers a seamless on-the-go experience
that makes typing and browsing effortless when it is folded.
·
At just 215 grams,[1] Galaxy Z Fold7 is even lighter than
Galaxy S25 Ultra.
·
It is just 8.9 mm
thick when folded and 4.2 mm thick when unfolded.[2]
·
The device comes with 6.5-inch[3] Dynamic AMOLED 2x cover display, a wider screen[4] with a new 21:9 aspect ratio.
Most Expansive Screen on Galaxy
Smartphone
When unfolded, Galaxy Z
Fold7 becomes more than just a smartphone. It transforms into another device
entirely and reveals an expansive screen that expands the workspace for
editing, multitasking and immersive viewing – getting more out of Galaxy AI. The main display on Galaxy Z Fold7 is 11%
larger than the previous generation, providing even more screen real estate for
content editing and multitasking across multiple apps.
·
The 8-inch[5]
Dynamic AMOLED 2x main display
offers ultra-rich contrast, true blacks and vibrant detail that makes
everything pop — from movies to tabs open while multitasking.
·
With Vision Booster
and up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness, Galaxy Z Fold7 stays
brilliantly visible even in direct sunlight.
Looks
Sleek, Built Tough
·
The Armor FlexHinge
is thinner and lighter,[6] thanks to an enhanced water droplet
design and newly implemented multi-rail structure that reduces visible creasing
and strengthens durability by evenly dispersing stress.
·
The cover display is
made with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2, a new glass ceramic that
has crystals intricately embedded within its glass matrix.[7]
This secures the screen’s durability and crack deflection capabilities and
delivers protection in a remarkably thin form factor.
·
Advanced Armor Aluminum[8] in the frame and hinge housing increases
strength and hardness by 10%.
·
The main display is
restructured to be thinner and lighter – yet stronger. This was achieved by
implementing the Titanium plate layer. Additionally, Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) was increased to be
50% thicker, making the display tougher.
The
Most Powerful Processor Customized for Galaxy
Under
the hood, Galaxy Z Fold7 is powered by the best-in-class processor used in
Galaxy devices. It’s uniquely customized and makes on-device AI processing
tasks – like
real-time language translation and Generative Edits –
faster and more seamless.
·
The
Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy[9]
delivers performance boosts of 41% in NPU, 38% in
CPU, and 26% in GPU[10]
compared to the previous generation. This power fuels Galaxy Z Fold7’s ability
to process more AI experiences on-device without compromise.
Ultra
200MP Camera
Ultra
Detailed, Ultra Clear Photos[11]
Galaxy Z Fold7
now brings the best of the Galaxy’s pro-grade camera experience to a foldable,
combining advanced hardware with intelligent processing for consistently
stunning results. Its high-resolution camera captures incredible detail,
vibrant color and rich texture, pulling users back into every moment.
AI-enhanced imaging automatically optimizes lighting, detail and realism, so
photos and videos stay sharp and vivid, even in low light settings such as
milestone dinners and late-night café scenes.
·
Featuring the first
200MP wide-angle camera in the Galaxy Z series, it captures 4x more
detail, producing images that are 44% brighter.
·
The 10MP 100° camera on the main display expands the
frame, so when users unfold their phone, it’s easy to capture group selfies,
valuable moments and more of the world in a single shot.
·
Samsung’s next
generation ProVisual Engine processes images faster, enabling every photo and video
to be more crisp, vibrant and full of detail.
·
With Night Video,
intelligent motion detection now separates moving subjects from still
backgrounds to reduce noicse.
·
10-bit HDR
provides more color depth. The result is videos with richer color, deeper
contrast and more lifelike detail, no matter the time of day.
Creative Editing with Big Screen
Galaxy Z Fold7 puts a
pro-grade creative studio in users’ pocket, with AI-powered tools optimized for
its large display. Users can capture stunning photos and videos and then edit
with ease. From cleaning up clutter in
product shots to removing background noise from café recordings, studio-quality
enhancements can be done in a few easy steps. The intuitive and intelligent
features on the Galaxy Z Fold7 make it effortless to transform photos and
videos into pro-level content, with no extra tools required.
·
Shots look flawless
with Photo Assist,[12]
which moves, erases or enlarges objects and adjusts angles and fills in
backgrounds with AI-powered precision. Users can seize
vibrant expressions, including pet profiles with Portrait Studio[13] and refine their photos using Galaxy’s
enhanced Generative Edit. The ability to seamlessly remove distractions
and fill in backgrounds has made Generative Edit a fan favorite, and now it’s
even smarter. It offers proactive suggestions with the new Suggest Erases ,
which automatically detects passersby with the tap of a button.
·
Side-by-Side Editing
and Show Original enables real-time comparison of original images and
edited versions on the large screen, making it easier to decide what to modify
and what to keep.
· Audio Eraser[14] has also been upgraded to be more intelligent and convenient. There’s a new toggle in Gallery, and it now proactively detects and removes unwanted background noise like wind or traffic from video recordings.
Ultra AI Experience
The
Next Era of Galaxy AI[15]
on the Large Screen
Galaxy Z Fold7
harnesses the power of the foldable display to amplify the power and
convenience of AI, delivering experiences that are instinctive, adaptive and
effortlessly efficient. With the new One UI 8
that is context-aware and naturally responsive, optimized
for Galaxy Z Fold7’s flexible format and expansive screen offer a more
intuitive and immersive way to interact with AI. There’s
less jumping between apps and screens and more frictionless creativity and
productivity happening seamlessly in one place.
·
Designed as a true
multimodal agent, One UI 8[16] seamlessly combines
large-screen multitasking with intelligent tools that understand what users
type, say and even see. And with an AI-powered camera and privacy built into
every layer, Galaxy Z Fold7 becomes a smart and secure personal assistant,
ready to help anytime, anywhere.
·
Gemini Live[17] is now enhanced with
multimodal AI that understands what users see, say and do, making it possible
to seamlessly
type or speak contextual questions and get answers without having to toggle
back and forth between apps. And with screen sharing on Gemini Live or camera
sharing on Gemini Live, you can simply show Gemini what users are
looking at on the screen or on the camera, then ask questions to get instant
insights.

gaming tips appear exactly when and where you need them. Just circle an item on
screen and get instant results, tips or tactics in a floating view that ensures
a smooth, uninterrupted experience.

With Galaxy AI Optimized for Large Screens, Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers
experiences that maximize the benefits of the expansive foldable display to
boost productivity. AI Results
View displays results from AI features in a separate Split
View or in a Floating View, so the user’s original content remains unobstructed
and visible. Users
can be more efficient with Drag &
Drop AI-generated content,
including images and text, directly from Multi Window. With tools like Drawing
Assist[19]
or Writing
Assist,[20] it’s easier than ever to move ideas and
visuals, enabling a smoother creative process.
As mobile experiences grow ever more
intelligent and interconnected, Samsung is reinforcing the foundations that protect them – unveiling new
protections for on-device AI, expanding cross-device threat detection and
enhancing network security with quantum-resistant encryption. One UI 8 brings
enhanced privacy to personalized AI experiences with the new Knox Enhanced
Encrypted Protection (KEEP[21]). KEEP creates
encrypted, app-specific storage environments within the device’s secure storage
area, ensuring each app can access only its own sensitive information and
nothing more. With One UI 8, Samsung
is advancing Knox Matrix to deliver more proactive and user-friendly
protection across the Galaxy ecosystem. Furthermore, as part of its ongoing
commitment to quantum-safe security, Samsung is integrating post-quantum
cryptography into Secure Wi-Fi[22]. This enhancement secures the key exchange process at the
core of encrypted connections, helping ensure robust privacy even over public
networks.
