Galaxy
Watch8 and Galaxy Watch8 Classic merge an iconic design with new, personalized
wellness insights to motivate you on your health journey
Riyadh,
Saudi Arabia – Jul 9, 2025 -
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy
Watch8 Classic[1],
establishing an iconic design identity across the entire Galaxy Watch lineup.
Building upon the foundation of the Galaxy Watch Ultra’s cushion design, this
series boasts the thinnest, most comfortable Galaxy Watch ever[2] for continuous health tracking. The Galaxy Watch8 series suits
diverse lifestyles and provides
advanced capabilities, setting a new standard for style and personalized health
experiences.
“We are committed to empowering billions of people to live
healthier lives through our innovative technology,” said TM Roh, President and
Acting Head of the Device eXperience (DX) Division at Samsung Electronics. “By
combining purposeful design with advanced sensor technology and an intuitive
AI-powered experience, the Galaxy Watch8 series serves as a starting point for
a healthier, more connected life, making it easier than ever to take meaningful
steps toward users’ well-being.”
Redesigned Inside and
Out for Ultimate Wellness
By reimagining both form and function, the Galaxy Watch8
series delivers unmatched comfort alongside industry-leading performance,
making it the ultimate companion for everyday wellness. The distinctive cushion design, which
debuted with Galaxy Watch Ultra, now defines the entire Galaxy Watch lineup. To achieve
the thinnest design yet, the internal structure of Galaxy Watch8 was completely
reengineered and its component mounting capability has been improved by 30%, resulting
in an 11% thinner design. Combined with the Dynamic Lug system, this design moves
naturally with the wrist, providing greater comfort and improved stability2 for a better fit and enhanced
health-tracking accuracy.
Galaxy Watch8’s sleek
profile is complemented by its exceptional performance. Even when you are outdoors
under bright sunlight, the display is 50% brighter2 with a peak brightness
of 3,000nits for easy visibility, and the enhanced battery2 ensures the watch can
keep up with an active lifestyle. Moreover, the dual-frequency GPS provides
more detailed and precise location results2 while our most
powerful 3nm processor delivers faster performance and greater power efficiency.
With the groundbreaking BioActive Sensor that enables deeper and more accurate
health insights, the Galaxy Watch8 series helps provide a holistic view of your
health.

Feature KV: Sleep, Vascular Load, Running Coach]
Motivation for Lasting Health
Changes
Sleep is a window into
your overall health and each restful night allows your body and mind to recover
immediately the very next day. That’s why Samsung is continuously advancing the
sleep experience, offering tailored sleep coaching, helping to create an
optimal sleep environment, and even detecting moderate to severe signs of sleep
apnea. On top of that, the Galaxy Watch8 series comes with new unique health features on the Samsung Health
app[3] that help you build
healthier habits through instant, motivational insights – from sleep to
nutrition and workout.
Bedtime Guidance[4]
can measure your circadian rhythm to suggest the optimal
time to go to bed so you wake up refreshed the next morning. Vascular Load[5]
helps monitor the stress levels on your vascular system during sleep. Providing
insights on various lifestyle factors including sleep, stress and activity, it helps
you adopt a more comprehensive approach to managing your health.
Meanwhile, the Galaxy
Watch8 series introduces Antioxidant Index[6]
for the first time in a smartwatch,
enabling you to measure carotenoid levels in just five seconds and
make informed lifestyle choices for healthy aging.
Whether you’re a novice or experienced
runner, the Galaxy Watch8 series delivers
personalized fitness insights to keep you motivated when you need it most. Running Coach[7]
calculates your fitness level from 1 to 10 and develops a tailored training
plan complete with real-time guidance and motivational insights. With the
updated Together feature, which now supports running, you can gamify your
fitness journey by challenging friends and family.
If high level of stress
persists, High Stress Alert will immediately signal so that you can take
a break to help manage your stress levels in real-time. With Mindfulness
Tracker, you can record your mood and receive guidance on breathing
exercises to relieve your stress – all at once on your wrist.
Plus, the AI-powered Energy
Score[8]
gives you a snapshot of your energy level, combining physical and mental energy
metrics so you can have a healthier day, every day.
Easier Watch Interaction
with Wear OS and Gemini
Developed in close collaboration with Google, the Galaxy Watch8 series is
the first smartwatch to come out of the box with Gemini[9],
Google's AI assistant, and be powered by Wear OS 6. Go hands-free using
natural voice commands to get things done on the go with your Galaxy Watch apps
like Samsung Health, Calendar, Reminder, and Clock. For example, you can ask
Gemini to find a nearby cafe and text a friend to meet you there, all in one go.
Or, if you’re ready to start your workout and you have a goal in mind, simply
say, “Start a 30-minute run.” The watch seamlessly initiates the workout in
Samsung Health.
In addition, thanks to the new One UI 8 Watch, the
user interface is optimized for the size and shape of the watch face. The new Multi-Info
Tiles provide easy access to health metrics, weather, events and more – all
in a single, quick look. Moreover, the new Now Bar and depthless
notifications ensure key activities are front and center.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7: A Pocket-Sized AI Powerhouse With a New Edge-To-Edge FlexWindow
Rashad Iskandrni
Compact
in size, bold in capability – Galaxy Z Flip7 redefines the flip phone
experience
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Jul 9, 2025 -
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled
the Galaxy Z Flip7, a compact AI phone with multimodal capabilities, powered by
a new FlexWindow. Small
enough to slip into a pocket, yet powerful enough to deliver the handiest assistance,
it melds Galaxy AI with a now edge-to-edge FlexWindow, a flagship level camera
and an ultra-compact and iconic design. From intuitive voice AI to the best
selfie capabilities, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is an intelligent pocket-sized
companion built for seamless interaction and everyday reliability.
“Galaxy Z Flip7 is proof that big
intelligence can come in a small, pocket-sized form factor,” said TM Roh, President
and Acting Head of the Device eXperience (DX) at Samsung Electronics. “By bringing rich multimodal AI
capabilities and seamless functionality to the FlexWindow, we’ve created a device that adapts, anticipates and empowers users,
unlocking a smarter, more intuitive way to engage with the world.”
Biggest, Brightest FlexWindow Yet
Content spills elegantly from edge-to-edge
on the Galaxy Z Flip7’s stunning FlexWindow display, which brings essentials
front and center and makes it easy to type out quick messages, check schedules
at a glance and snap high-quality selfies. Galaxy Z Flip’s brightest FlexWindow yet delivers
a super-smooth refresh rate, so everything looks vivid and feels fluid – even when
outside on a sunny day.
·
The 4.1-inch[1] Super AMOLED FlexWindow is the largest ever on a
Galaxy Z Flip, with edge-to-edge usability that enables users to see and do
more on the cover screen.
·
With 2,600 nits of
peak brightness and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate on both the main
display and the FlexWindow, Galaxy Z Flip7 enables ultra-fluid scrolling,
streaming and gaming. Plus, the FlexWindow gets an upgrade with Vision
Booster, enhancing outdoor visibility so users can stay connected wherever they
are.[2]
·
The main display is a 6.9-inch
Dynamic AMOLED 2X,[3] built for an
ultra-smooth, immersive experience.
Thinnest Yet Durable
Galaxy Z Flip
Galaxy
Z Flip7 is crafted for portability and puts powerful performance right in the
palm of the user’s hand. With its compact size and sleek silhouette, it slips
effortlessly into a small pocket or purse, perfect for whatever the day brings.
Whether catching calls during a coffee outing or snapping pictures at the store
– no need to worry about the inevitable drops and bumps along the way. It’s
also built to last and engineered to handle the rigors of daily use.
·
Weighing just 188 grams[4] and measuring only
13.7mm when folded, Galaxy Z Flip7 is the slimmest Galaxy Z Flip yet.
·
The cover and back are protected by
Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2.
·
The Armor FlexHinge is thinner
than the hinge on the previous generation and features a restructured design and high-strength materials for
smoother folds and long-lasting durability.
·
A robust Armor Aluminum Frame
provides a tough exterior for resilience.[5]
Power That Lasts Longer
and Works Smarter
While the Galaxy Z Flip7
has been slimmed down and refined throughout, it now features a bigger battery
and an even bigger display – all in a more compact form. With the largest battery ever in the Galaxy Z Flip series, it
delivers enough additional power to
watch an extra movie without charging. Users can stream music or listen to podcasts during long
commutes, edit photos on the fly and share updates throughout the day without
missing a beat.
·
The 4,300mAh battery[6] is the largest ever on a
Galaxy Z Flip, delivering up to 31
hours of video play time on a single charge.[7]
·
The Galaxy Z Flip7 is powered by the
latest 3nm processor, customized for Galaxy and fit for today’s lifestyle
with an even more powerful CPU, GPU and NPU[8] than Galaxy Z Flip6.
·
Samsung DeX comes to a Galaxy Z Flip7 for the first time, enabling it to instantly transform
into a handy workstation: users can flip it open, connect to a screen and
instantly get PC-like tools for enhanced multitasking.
Pocket-Perfect AI
With FlexWindow enhanced for greater
usability and Galaxy AI[9] that is smarter and more intuitive than
ever, Galaxy Z Flip7 introduces a new era of convenience and functionality,
empowering users to search with their voice, get answers and take action directly
on FlexWindow. Powered by the newest One UI 8[10] and Android 16 right out of the box, it

Samsung Health and Galaxy Watch.
·
The FlexWindow’s clock adapts and
stretches to compliment a user’s wallpaper, wrapping the font around faces or
objects in the image to keep the time display clear. Whether it’s a close-up
selfie or a scenic skyline, the lock screen ensures the clock remains visible without
disrupting the image.
A Pocket-Sized Selfie Studio[14]
Galaxy Z Flip7 brings flagship-level
photography and Samsung’s best selfie camera yet. With Samsung’s advanced
ProVisual Engine, it intelligently optimizes every scene to deliver crisp,
detailed shots in any lighting, without any manual adjustments needed. From
playful pet moments to zoomed-in festival shots and glowing sunset portraits,
Galaxy Z Flip7 captures stunning results without a tripod or even unfolding the
screen.

The dual rear camera
system includes a 50MP Wide[15] and a 12MP Ultra-Wide
lens, delivering flagship-level clarity in any lighting, whether capturing
scenic shots or snapping high-quality selfies directly from the cover screen.

With Enhanced Nightography,
users can capture vivid photos in low-light environments through improved lighting
adjustments and the removal of noise and blurred frames.

provides richer color, deeper contrast and more life-like detail in video, no
matter the time of day.

With Dual Preview, the photographer and the
subject can see the composition live on the FlexWindow, helping users nail the
perfect shot on the first go.
·
Everyday pet moments become eye-catching
shots with Portrait Studio[17] in
Photo Assist whether featuring a playful cartoon style, a quirky fisheye
look or a polished, professional finish.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7: Raising the Bar for Smartphones
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 ,
