Samsung has officially launched its next-generation foldable smartphones — the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7 — at its Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event in New York. These two devices are more than just an upgrade; they represent a major leap in design, performance, and artificial intelligence.
Let’s dive into what’s new.
🧊 Ultra-Thin & Lightweight: A New Era of Foldables
Samsung has managed to slim down both devices significantly. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is now the thinnest Fold ever, measuring just 8.9 mm when folded and 4.2 mm when open. It’s also lighter than previous models, weighing around 216 grams — making it easier to carry without sacrificing screen size.
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 also boasts a sleeker form with an even more compact and stylish clamshell design.
🖥️ Bigger, Better Displays
- Fold 7: 6.5″ cover screen + 8″ main display
- Flip 7: 4.1″ external FlexWindow + 6.9″ main screen
Both displays come with Dynamic AMOLED 2X panels and 120Hz refresh rates, ensuring vibrant colors, deep blacks, and buttery-smooth animations. The outer screen on the Flip 7 is now larger and more functional, allowing users to reply to messages, control music, and even access apps without opening the phone.
🤖 AI-Powered Productivity with Galaxy AI
These devices come with Android 16 and One UI 8, powered by Galaxy AI. Key features include:
- Live call translation
- AI-powered writing assistant
- Summarization tools
- Samsung DeX on Flip 7 (for desktop-like experience)
With Google Gemini integration, users get smarter suggestions, better multitasking, and improved efficiency throughout the day.
🔋 Performance & Battery
- Fold 7: Powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (Elite Edition)
- Flip 7: Equipped with Exynos 2500, based on 3nm technology
These chips promise ultra-fast processing, better thermal efficiency, and smoother gaming and multitasking. Battery capacities are optimized, with the Fold 7 housing a 4400mAh battery and the Flip 7 packing 4300mAh — both supporting fast charging.
📸 Cameras that Impress
- Fold 7 features a powerful 200MP main sensor, 12MP ultra-wide, and 10MP telephoto camera.
- Flip 7 comes with a dual rear setup — 50MP + 12MP — and a crisp 10MP front camera.
From high-resolution shots to ultra-stable videos, the camera systems are designed to deliver premium photography in all lighting conditions.
🚫 No S Pen Support on Fold 7
In a move to achieve a slimmer design, Samsung has removed S Pen support from the Fold 7. While it’s a disappointment for some power users, it’s a trade-off for portability and sleekness.
📦 Final Thoughts
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Fold 7 aren’t just smartphones — they’re a glimpse into the future of mobile technology. With thinner builds, more powerful internals, enhanced AI features, and bold designs, Samsung is clearly setting the standard in the foldable market.
Prices start at $1,099 for the Flip 7 and $1,999 for the Fold 7, with availability beginning globally later this month.
