Samsung has officially unveiled its most advanced foldable smartphone yet—the Galaxy Z Fold7—at the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event in New York. Designed to deliver an ultra-premium foldable experience, the Galaxy Z Fold7 brings significant improvements in design, display, performance, camera capabilities, and AI-driven software. Here’s everything you need to know.

Key Highlights

Larger 8-inch main and 6.5-inch cover AMOLED 2X displays

Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy

Flagship-grade 200MP camera debuts on Fold series

Ultra-lightweight at 215g with sleek 4.2mm thickness

AI-powered tools with One UI 8 based on Android 16

Enhanced durability with Armor Aluminum frame & Gorilla Glass

Sleeker, Lighter Foldable with Bigger Displays

Samsung has upgraded the Fold7 with a massive 8-inch QXGA+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner screen, now 11% larger than the Z Fold6, supporting an adaptive refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz and a peak brightness of up to 2600 nits. The 6.5-inch cover display also sees enhancements, now sporting a 21:9 aspect ratio and protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2—a stronger, crystal-embedded glass technology built for durability.

The Fold7 is thinner and more portable than ever:

Thickness (Folded): 8.9 mm

Thickness (Unfolded): 4.2 mm

Weight: 215g (lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra)

Major Camera Upgrade with 200MP Sensor

For the first time in the Z Fold series, Samsung has integrated a 200MP main sensor with OIS and Dual Pixel AF. This powerful camera is complemented by:

12MP ultra-wide lens with 120˚ FOV

10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical and 30x space zoom

Dual 10MP front cameras (inner and outer) for versatile selfies and video calls

The under-display camera seen in previous generations has been replaced with a more conventional 10MP inner camera for better clarity.

Performance Boost with Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy

Under the hood, the Fold7 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy—a custom-tuned 3nm chip offering better thermal performance, AI processing, and power efficiency than its predecessor.

You can choose between:

12GB / 16GB LPDDR5X RAM

256GB / 512GB / 1TB UFS 4.0 storage

This flagship configuration is paired with the latest Android 16, layered with One UI 8, designed specifically for foldables.

Cutting-Edge AI Features in One UI 8

The Fold7 leverages Samsung’s powerful Galaxy AI to enhance productivity, creativity, and usability. Features include:

Photo Assist – Erase, move, or resize objects

Portrait Studio – Customize and refine pet or person portraits

Generative Edit – Suggests background element removal

Audio Eraser – Removes unwanted noise in videos

Gemini Live with Multimodal AI – Interact contextually using visual, voice, or text input

Drag & Drop AI – Seamless content movement and multitasking

Knox KEEP (Encrypted Protection) – App-specific secure storage using post-quantum cryptography

Built for Durability

Despite being the thinnest Fold yet, Samsung has reengineered the Fold7 to endure daily use:

Armor FlexHinge with water droplet design & multi-rail hinge for less crease

Titanium plate layer and 50% thicker Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) for the main display

IP48 rating for dust and water resistance

Armor Aluminum frame for extra strength

Battery and Charging

The Galaxy Z Fold7 packs a 4400mAh battery, supporting:

25W wired charging

15W wireless (WPC & PMA)

4.5W reverse wireless charging

While the battery capacity remains the same as the Z Fold6, software optimizations and the 3nm chipset help extend battery life.
