The tech giant, Samsung, announced the Galaxy Z Fold7, the latest addition to its foldable lineup. The device combines thinner, lighter hardware with new Galaxy AI features and an expanded display designed to improve productivity, better camera performance, and durability.
At 215 grams, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It measures 8.9 mm when folded and 4.2 mm when unfolded. The device includes a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover display with a 21:9 aspect ratio and an 8-inch main display that is 11% larger than the previous generation. The main screen reaches 2,600 nits of peak brightness, supported by Vision Booster for outdoor visibility.
The hinge and frame have been reinforced with Armor Aluminum, while the cover display uses Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. The main display is layered with Ultra-Thin Glass that is 50% thicker and a titanium plate for added strength. The Armor FlexHinge adopts a multi-rail structure designed to reduce creasing and improve durability.
Samsung has equipped the Galaxy Z Fold7 with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, which provides performance improvements of 41% in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU over the previous generation. The chip supports faster on-device AI tasks, including real-time translation and AI-assisted editing.
The device introduces a 200-megapixel wide-angle camera, the first in the Z Fold series. Samsung’s ProVisual Engine processes images faster for sharper results, while AI-enhanced imaging improves low-light performance. The 10-megapixel front camera on the main display allows for wide-angle group selfies. Video capabilities include 10-bit HDR, intelligent motion detection, and noise reduction through upgraded Night Video and Audio Eraser tools.
Editing tools optimized for the large display include Generative Edit, which can erase objects, fill backgrounds, and adjust photo composition. Photo Assist and Portrait Studio add AI-powered enhancements, while side-by-side editing makes comparisons easier on the larger screen.
The Galaxy Z Fold7 runs on One UI 8 with Android 16 and integrates Gemini Live, Google’s multimodal AI assistant. Users can issue contextual voice or typed commands, circle on-screen items for search, or drag and drop AI-generated content across apps. The system supports multitasking through Split View, Floating View, and Multi Window.
Samsung has also expanded security with Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection, which creates app-specific secure storage, and quantum-resistant encryption for Secure Wi-Fi connections.
Galaxy Z Fold7 is available for pre-order in the U.S. starting September 7 from Samsung.com, carriers, and retailers. Pricing starts at $1,999.99. The device comes in Jet Black, Blue Shadow, and Silver Shadow, with storage options of 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. An exclusive Mint color is available for purchases through Samsung.com.
