Slimmer, smarter, sleeker : Samsung says Galaxy Z Fold7 is here to wow your world
Samsung Electronics has announced the launch of the Galaxy Z Fold7, the slimmest and lightest device in its foldable lineup, weighing just 215 grams. The flagship foldable combines Galaxy all with a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover display, a wider screen with a new 21:9 aspect ratio and a powerful hardware to deliver an ultra-premium smartphone experience in a compact form. The Fold7 features a redesigned 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X main display that is 11% larger than its predecessor, offering an expansive workspace for editing, multitasking, and immersive viewing. The device reaches 2,600 nits of peak brightness, ensuring visibility even in direct sunlight.

It runs on One UI 8 based on Android 16, with Galaxy AI tools optimised for large screens.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is my dream foldable
It was only a couple of months ago that I discovered the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge's thinness was more than just a way to grab some headlines, and it made the phone genuinely more pleasurable to hold, use, and live with on a daily basis. Well, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is set to be equally transformative, and after barely spending an hour with it. I couldn't be more pleased that Samsung has continued its dogged pursuit of thinness, as it has made the Z Fold 7 the big-screen foldable I could see myself using every day, without fooling myself into thinking I'm not making a compromise. Let's get straight into it. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is far thinner and lighter than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, and it makes a huge difference in the way the phone feels when you pick it up, hold it, and stow it in your pocket. It measures 8.9mm thick when closed and 4.2mm when open, weighing 215 grams. The Galaxy Z Fold 6 was 12.1mm closed up and weighed 239 grams. The Z Fold 7 even manages to be lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra by a whole gram. These numbers don't reflect one of the other major changes, though. On the front of the Z Fold 7 is a 6.5-inch, 21:9 aspect ratio screen, which feels truly "normal," and the phone is easily used with one hand. You no longer have to perform a risky, potentially very expensive juggling act to reply to messages or open apps on the cover screen due to the 5mm increase in width. Open the phone, and you're now greeted by an 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED screen, and it looks glorious. Look straight at the Z Fold 7, and you'll see the crease has been practically eliminated, visually, and you can barely feel it under your finger either. It's still kind of there from the side, but you have to make an effort to see it. Samsung has managed this by making the glass covering the open screen slightly thicker, increasing durability and strength at the same time. It's just one of the durability improvements in the Z Fold 7, which has a stronger titanium lattice work under the screen compared to the carbon fiber lattice used on previous models, and updated Advanced Armor Aluminum for the chassis and hinge. However, is the Galaxy Z Fold 7 the thinnest foldable smartphone in the world? No, that um, honor, goes to Honor with the Magic V5, which is 4.1mm thick open and 8.8mm closed. That's only if you buy the Ivory White version, though, as the other colors are 4.2mm thick open and 9mm thick closed, and it's 217 grams in weight or 222 grams if you choose one other than the white model. Fractions of millimeters aside, both the Magic V5 and the Z Fold 7 are amazing feats of engineering, and shouting about being the thinnest foldable in the world actually obfuscates in meaningless bluster how much of a difference the size truly makes. How can I easily illustrate this difference? I spent some time with the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and the new Galaxy Watch 8 smartwatches at the same time as I tested out the Galaxy Z Fold 7. While I was playing with the smartwatches, I switched the Z Fold 7 between my front jeans pocket and the back pocket. It disappeared in both, and I mostly forgot it was there until I wanted it. The Z Fold 7 seems to have moved beyond the era of compromise, which afflicted its predecessors, where you had to put up with a foldable's size and weight to enjoy the dual-screen convenience. Now, it simply feels like "a phone," and that has been the dream since the first day I picked up the original Galaxy Fold. The Galaxy S25 Edge took traditional phone convenience to the next level, and the Z Fold 7 does the same for foldable smartphones. There was a case to be made for the Z Fold 6 doing something similar, but it was recommended you still go out and hold it for yourself before buying, as one person's definition of acceptable is another's unacceptable. You should still try the Z Fold 7 out for yourself, but I think you'll just say "wow" when you see it and pick it up, rather than immediately think about whether you'll be able to tolerate the size and weight long term. Samsung described the Galaxy Z Fold 7 as giving you an "Ultra experience," but has stopped short of actually calling it the Z Fold 7 Ultra. It means it has squeezed some really impressive technology inside the thin and light phone. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor is onboard, along with 12GB or 16GB of RAM, there's a 4,400mAh battery, and One UI 8 over Android 16. Yes, the Z Fold 7 will come with Google's latest OS installed, and it has been specially designed for foldables, right down to Gemini Live being adapted for use on the large, open screen. All the usual Galaxy AI features are available, although compared to the AI overload at the Galaxy S25 series launch, they were emphasized less here. Circle to Search has gained an interesting new in-game search feature, where it will provide real-time hints and tips without leaving the app itself. The Now Brief is back and includes weekly activity updates along with its daily roundups. Samsung will support the Z Fold 7's software for seven years. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is Samsung at the top of its game. The Galaxy S25 Ultra's 200-megapixel main camera sits alongside a 10MP telephoto camera for a 3x optical zoom, and a new 12MP wide-angle camera with autofocus and a macro mode. The open screen's under-display selfie camera has been greatly improved, and now has 10 megapixels and a 100-degree field of view. The higher resolution is immediately obvious, too. On the cover screen is another 10MP selfie camera. While some may complain about the 3x telephoto, the Z Fold 7's camera is a technical improvement over the Z Fold 6, and the ISP has been optimized to make the most of all the cameras. Evidence of whether all this makes a difference will come when we take more photos, as it was impossible to draw any conclusions taking them inside the event space, where I tried the phone. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is Samsung at the top of its game. The foldable feels superbly made, very high quality, and still suitably futuristic, even though we've seen similar phones for a good few years now. The thinner, lighter body is a massive leap forward compared to the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and earlier, and it has finally reached the point where it won't feel like much of a compromise to use at all compared to a non-folding phone. If you have one of those earlier Samsung foldables, the Z Fold 7 is likely to be a substantial upgrade. For those yet to take the plunge on a big-screen foldable, this is the one to try. Such innovation and engineering don't come cheap. The basic 12GB/256GB model is $2,000 or £1,799, which is a lot to pay for any mobile device, but like the previous models, this is a phone you should be thinking about keeping for the next three years or so. Thanks to the Z Fold 7's streamlined new shape, durability enhancements, and close-to-top-spec camera, this will be easier than ever to do.

Samsung's AI super-powered Galaxy Z Fold7 has arrived
Where ultra-sleek meets ultra-powerful, unforgettable moments unfold: introducing the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7. This foldable smartphone brings together the best of Galaxy design, camera functionality and AI innovation in the thinnest and lightest device in the brand's Galaxy Z Fold series to date. The Galaxy Z Fold7 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 brand's new One UI 8 user interface as its foundation, it seamlessly integrates intelligent, multimodal agents optimised for the foldable form factor. 'The Galaxy Z Fold7 combines Galaxy AI with powerful hardware to deliver our most advanced smartphone experience yet,' says TM Roh, president and acting head of the Device eXperience 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 The thinnest, lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet The 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, the Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers a seamless on-the-go experience that makes typing and browsing effortless when it is folded. Fast facts: At just 215g, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is even lighter than Galaxy S25 Ultra. It's just 8.9mm thick when folded and 4.2mm thick when unfolded. The device comes with a 6.5″ Dynamic AMOLED 2x cover display, a wider screen with a new 21:9 aspect ratio. Most expansive screen on a Galaxy smartphone yet When unfolded, the 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. Fast facts: The 8″ 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, the Galaxy Z Fold7's display stays brilliantly visible even in direct sunlight. Looks sleek, built tough Thin and light, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is built to move with you, confidently. From repeated folding to being tossed in a bag, it's engineered for everyday durability and built to last longer, with a restructured hinge and foldable display. Good to know: The Armor FlexHinge is thinner and lighter, 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. This secures the screen's durability and crack deflection capabilities and delivers protection in a remarkably thin form factor. Advanced Armor Aluminum in the frame and hinge housing increases strength and hardness by 10%. The main display has been restructured to be thinner and lighter — yet stronger. This was achieved by implementing a titanium plate layer. Additionally, the ultra-thin glass was increased to be 50% thicker, making the display tougher. Most powerful processor customised for Galaxy Under the hood, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite, the best-in-class processor used in Galaxy devices. It's uniquely customised and makes on-device AI processing tasks — like real-time language translation and Generative Edits — faster and more seamless.

Good to know: Featuring the first 200MP wide-angle camera in the Galaxy Z series, the Galaxy Z Fold7 captures four times more detail, producing images that are 44% brighter. The 10MP 100° camera on the main display expands the frame, so when you unfold the 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 noise. 10-bit HDR provides more colour depth.

You can seize vibrant expressions, including pet profiles with Portrait Studio, and refine your photos using Galaxy's enhanced Generative Edit feature. 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, which automatically detects passersby with the tap of a button. Side-by-Side Editing and Show Original enable real-time comparison of original images and edited versions on the large screen, making it easier to decide what to modify and what to keep. The brand's Audio Eraser feature has also been upgraded to be more intelligent and convenient. There's a new toggle in Gallery, and it now proactively detects and removes unwanted background noise like wind or traffic from video recordings. Ultra AI experience Enjoy the next era of Galaxy AI on the Galaxy Z Fold7's large screen The Galaxy Z Fold7 harnesses the power of the foldable display to amplify the power and convenience of AI, delivering experiences that are instinctive, adaptive and effortlessly efficient. The new One UI 8 — which is context-aware, naturally responsive and optimised for the Galaxy Z Fold7's flexible format and expansive screen — offers a more intuitive and immersive way to interact with AI.
