Samsung Unveils Thinnest and Smartest Galaxy Z Fold7 Yet

Samsung has just pulled back the curtain on its latest foldable marvel, the Galaxy Z Fold7. This new device isn't just an incremental update; it's a significant leap forward, blending cutting-edge AI, a pro-grade camera system, and a remarkably thin and light design that sets a new benchmark for what a smartphone can be.

“Galaxy Z Fold7 combines Galaxy AI with powerful hardware to deliver our most advanced smartphone experience yet,” stated TM Roh, President and Acting Head of the DX Division at Samsung Electronics. “This next chapter of foldables brings together design and engineering, with AI built specifically for the foldable form.”

A New Standard in Sleek and Powerful Design

The most immediate impression of the Galaxy Z Fold7 is its form factor. Samsung has engineered its thinnest and lightest Fold to date, making it as portable as a traditional smartphone while offering the expansive real estate of a tablet.

Key Design and Display Upgrades:

• Featherlight Portability: Weighing in at just 215 grams, the Z Fold7 is impressively light, even more so than the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
• Ultra-Thin Profile: It measures a mere 8.9 mm when folded and an incredible 4.2 mm when unfolded.
• Wider Cover Display: The 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover screen now features a more user-friendly 21:9 aspect ratio, making it easier to type and browse on the go.
• Expansive Main Screen: Unfolded, the device reveals a massive 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display, which is 11% larger than the previous generation. With up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness, it’s perfectly visible even in bright sunlight.

This sleek design is also built to last. The new Armor FlexHinge is thinner yet stronger, while the cover display is protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2. Under the hood, the Z Fold7 is powered by the custom-tuned Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, delivering significant boosts in CPU, GPU, and NPU performance to handle demanding tasks and on-device AI seamlessly.

Pro-Grade Photography Meets Foldable Innovation

For the first time, Samsung is bringing its best camera hardware to the Z series. The Galaxy Z Fold7 is equipped to capture stunningly detailed and vibrant photos and videos, day or night.

Camera System Highlights:

• 200MP Wide-Angle Camera: A first for the Galaxy Z series, this high-resolution sensor captures incredible detail and brighter images.
• Upgraded Front Camera: The 10MP camera on the main display has a wider 100° field of view, perfect for group selfies.
• AI-Powered Editing: The large screen becomes a creative studio with powerful AI tools. Photo Assist lets you move or erase objects, Portrait Studio enhances pet photos, and an upgraded Generative Edit can now proactively suggest erasing distracting elements. The Audio Eraser tool has also been improved to intelligently remove background noise from your videos.

Smarter Than Ever The AI-Powered Foldable

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is not just about hardware; it's a showcase for the next era of Galaxy AI, optimized for the large, foldable screen. Running on the new One UI 8 (based on Android 16), the user experience is more intuitive and productive than ever.

Enhanced AI Features:

• Multimodal Gemini Live: Interact with AI by typing, speaking, or even showing it what's on your camera or screen to get contextual answers without switching apps.
• AI Optimized for Large Screens: Features like AI Results View display information in a split or floating window, so you can work without interruption. Drag & Drop AI-generated content between apps with ease.
• Creative and Productivity Assists: Tools like Drawing Assist and Writing Assist streamline your creative process on the expansive main display.

Fortified Security for the AI Era

As AI becomes more personal, Samsung is bolstering its security foundations. The Z Fold7 introduces new protections for on-device AI and expands threat detection across the ecosystem. One UI 8 features the new Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP), which creates secure, app-specific storage for sensitive data. Furthermore, Samsung is integrating post-quantum cryptography into Secure Wi-Fi to ensure your connections remain private, even on public networks.
