The wider 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover screen, now sporting a 21:9 aspect ratio, enhances everything from typing to browsing, offering a seamless, one-handed experience when folded and a more immersive workspace when unfolded. With the Galaxy Z Fold7, Samsung continues to refine the foldable category, focusing on portability and usability. The device is aimed at users who want the practicality of a conventional smartphone with the added flexibility of a larger screen when needed. Weighing 215 grams, it's lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra and measures just 8.9 mm when folded and 4.2 mm when unfolded. The outer display is a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a wider 21:9 aspect ratio—making typing and everyday navigation feel more natural when the device is closed. The Fold7 maintains its dual-use identity, balancing compact form with expanded screen real estate for multitasking or media consumption. Unfolded, the Galaxy Z Fold7 shifts its identity from smartphone to something closer to a compact tablet, offering a significantly expanded screen space that caters to editing, multitasking, and more immersive media experiences. The main display is now 11% larger than the previous generation, providing extra room to work across multiple apps or dig deeper into Galaxy AI features. At the center of this transformation is an 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, delivering high contrast, deep blacks, and vivid colors. Whether watching a film or managing a full suite of productivity tools, the display is designed to handle both. It also supports up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness and includes Vision Booster, which helps maintain visibility even under direct sunlight, further reinforcing the Fold7's focus on versatility in real-world use. Performance Inside the Galaxy Z Fold7 is a customized version of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, branded as the 'Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy.' This processor brings a noticeable performance jump over the previous generation 41% improvement in NPU performance, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU, according to Samsung. These gains are particularly aimed at supporting on-device AI features such as real-time translation and generative image editing. With more tasks handled locally on the device, the Fold7 promises faster, more responsive AI experiences without relying heavily on cloud processing. The device is powered by a 4400 mAh battery, and supports 25W charging. The device also supports wireless charging and fast wireless share. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 Camera Samsung is pushing its foldable camera system closer to flagship territory with the Galaxy Z Fold7, introducing significant hardware and software upgrades aimed at enhancing image quality across all conditions. The device now features a 200MP wide-angle main camera—the first in the Galaxy Z lineup—offering four times the detail and 44% brighter images compared to its predecessor. The camera system is backed by Samsung's updated ProVisual Engine, which improves image processing speeds and helps deliver sharper, more color-accurate photos. AI-driven enhancements also play a key role, adjusting lighting, texture, and color in real time to improve results in varied settings, including low-light environments like evening dinners or dimly lit cafes. For group shots and wider framing, the 10MP front-facing camera on the main display offers a 100° field of view, making it easier to include more in a single frame when the device is unfolded. Video performance also sees an upgrade with Night Video, which uses intelligent motion detection to reduce noise by isolating movement from static backgrounds. Additionally, 10-bit HDR support brings improved color depth and contrast, aimed at producing more lifelike footage regardless of the lighting conditions. Improved AI With the Galaxy Z Fold7, Samsung is aiming to reframe how AI works on mobile—by pairing its expanding suite of intelligent tools with the flexibility of a foldable display. Running on the new One UI 8, built atop Android 16, the device is designed to offer a more intuitive, context-aware interface that minimizes app switching and encourages seamless multitasking. One UI 8 functions as a true multimodal interface: it responds to text, voice, and visuals, and is tailored specifically for large, foldable screens. The result is a more fluid interaction model where users can type, speak, or show the system what they're working on and get help without constantly toggling between apps. AI capabilities like Gemini Live now take advantage of the expanded display. With multimodal understanding, users can point their camera or screen at something, ask a question verbally or by typing, and get contextual answers immediately. Features like screen sharing and camera sharing further extend these interactions, allowing the AI to 'see' what the user sees. Tools like Circle to Search add to the experience, enabling quick look-ups directly within apps or games. Just draw a circle around an item, and results appear in a floating window, avoiding interruptions. Samsung has also built on its large-screen AI integration with new features such as AI Results View, which allows AI-generated results to appear in split-screen or floating views so original content stays visible. The Drag & Drop functionality now supports AI-generated text and images between apps, while tools like Drawing Assist and Writing Assist aim to streamline the creative process, helping users sketch, write, or ideate more efficiently. Taken together, these additions position the Z Fold7 not just as a hardware upgrade but as a platform where foldable form and intelligent software evolve in sync.
