Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 price drops in India by Rs 39,600 after Galaxy Z Fold 7 launch
With the arrival of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Samsung's older foldable — the Galaxy Z Fold 6 — has received a big price drop in India. The foldable is now available with a flat discount of Rs 39,600 on Amazon, making it a tempting deal for those who have been eyeing Samsung's premium foldable without wanting to spend close to Rs 1.74 current offer applies to the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant, bringing down its price to a more manageable level. And while the Fold 7 brings in some fresh design changes and camera upgrades, the Fold 6 continues to offer powerful hardware and a flagship experience, especially now that it costs much the hood, the Fold 6 is equipped with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, which was the best Android processor at launch and still holds up very well in 2025. The phone runs smoothly even under heavy multitasking or graphic-intensive games. It's ideal for users who want the performance of a flagship and the flexibility of a large screen. The Fold 6 has a 6.3-inch outer display and a 7.6-inch inner foldable screen. Both panels offer vibrant colours, high refresh rates, and excellent brightness, making the foldable feel just as premium as a top-end smartphone or tablet. You also get S Pen support, which adds to the productivity appeal for users who prefer to sketch, take notes, or edit documents on the has used Armor Aluminum for the frame and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for protection, giving the Fold 6 a solid build. It is IP48 rated for dust and water resistance — not a small feat for a foldable — and despite being chunkier than its successor, it doesn't feel Fold 6's camera setup includes a reliable triple rear camera system along with front and under-display selfie cameras. While it may not match the new 200-megapixel sensor found on the Fold 7, the results from the Fold 6 remain more than good enough for daily shooting, video calls, and social media of the key reasons to consider the Fold 6 now is that it brings nearly all the flagship-level features, minus some of the refinements that the Fold 7 brings, but at a much lower cost. The newer model may be thinner and lighter, with a slightly bigger screen and better cameras, but in terms of user experience, the Fold 6 still delivers an excellent all-rounder foldable battery capacity remains the same on both — a 4,400mAh unit with support for 25W fast charging, 15W wireless charging, and 4.5W reverse charging. So, in real-world use, there isn't a big gap in users who want to enter the foldable category without breaking the bank, the Galaxy Z Fold 6 — especially at this new reduced price — is worth a serious look.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 vs Fold 6: Every difference that you wanted to know
Samsung has finally launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7, and this one feels like the major upgrade Fold fans have been waiting for. If last year's Fold 6 was more of a refinement over the Fold 5, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 takes things to the next level — not just in terms of design, but also usability and overall polish. It's lighter, thinner, and somehow manages to pack more into a sleeker form. While it might not scream 'different' in press photos, once you see the Fold 7 next to the Fold 6 — or better yet, hold it in hand — the changes become very obvious. There's a new look, the latest colour options, improved displays and a fresh camera setup. Basically, plenty to unpack here (pun intended). Let's break down exactly how the Fold 7 improves upon the Fold lighter, smarter designOn the surface, the Samsung Galaxy Fold 7 and Fold 6 might look nearly identical, but side by side, the Fold 7 is clearly a design win. Samsung has trimmed the device down impressively — it's now just 8.9mm thick when folded, compared to 12.1mm on the Fold 6. Weight has dropped too, from 239 grams to just 215 grams, making it the slimmest and lightest Galaxy Fold yet. That's even lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra and even the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which is quite a feat for a foldable. The new Blue Shadow colour looks stunning (might remind you of the blue S24 shade), and Samsung has added Gorilla Glass Armor on the front, which cuts down glare and helps visibility there is one trade-off — Samsung has removed the digitiser layer, which means there's no S Pen support this year. It's a bit of a bummer for stylus users, but clearly a call made to prioritise slimness. And to be fair, going from one of the thickest foldables to the slimmest in just one generation is a big and better displays Samsung has also made some useful tweaks to the screens. The outer display on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is now 6.5 inches with a proper 21:9 aspect ratio, making it feel more like a regular smartphone when closed. The Fold 6's outer screen was 6.3 inches and narrower at 22.1:9, which felt a bit cramped for typing. Inside, the main display has grown to 8 inches (up from 7.6 inches), and Samsung has worked on another round of crease reduction, making the viewing experience smoother and cleaner. Peak brightness remains a strong 2,600 nits along with the usual HDR10 support and Vision Booster goodness, which is ideal for outdoor and softwareUnder the hood, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, which should bring in major performance gains over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 that powers the Fold 6. It's also the first Galaxy Fold to offer a 16GB RAM variant, available on the 1TB storage model. Other options include 12GB RAM with 256GB or 512GB also get One UI 8 based on Android 16 out of the box, with improved Gemini AI integration and new features sprinkled throughout the get a much-needed boostadvertisementThe biggest jump comes with the main camera, quite literally. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 now uses the same 200-megapixel sensor found on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. That's a serious upgrade from the Fold 6's 50-megapixel main shooter, and it should mean significantly better detail and low-light performance. The 12-megapixel ultra-wide and 10-megapixel telephoto cameras remain the same across both inner under-display selfie camera has finally been replaced by a 10-megapixel hole-punch camera, a welcome move that should result in better quality for video calls and selfies. The external selfie camera remains a 10-megapixel snapper, just like life and chargingThe battery on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 remains unchanged at 4,400mAh, with 25W wired and 15W wireless charging. While there's no fancy new battery tech like a silicon-carbon cell yet, Samsung's software optimisations have generally ensured reliable, all-day endurance. And given how much slimmer and lighter the phone is now, maintaining the same battery capacity is actually quite upOverall, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 feels like the upgrade Samsung needed to make. It fixes several of the Fold 6's lingering issues, adds useful improvements, and makes the device more comfortable to use every day. Losing the S Pen might sting for some, but the overall gains in design, performance, and usability are hard to argue with. If you've been on the fence about foldables, this might be the one to finally win you said, the phone doesn't come cheap. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 price in India starts at Rs 1,74,999 for the base 256GB storage option, and goes up to Rs 1,86,999 and Rs 2,10,999 for the 512GB and 1TB storage versions, tuned to India Today Tech for all the latest on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.- Ends

Overnight, Samsung hosted its Galaxy Unpacked event in Brooklyn, New York, unveiling its latest foldable smartphone innovations in the form of the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7, along with a new line of Galaxy Watch8 wearables. While the new Flip7 and the Watch8 range feature notable upgrades over their predecessors, it's the Fold7 that is the undisputed star of the show. Having had the chance to briefly go hands-on with all of Smasung's new devices, I can confidently say that the Fold7 is on track to set a new standard for foldables, thanks to its slim new form factor and high specs. Possessing an undeniable wow factor that could be enough to convince many who've previously hesitated to part with the Fold line's high cost of entry (AUD$2,899 in this case), it's a big step up for the flagship foldable. With that, let's take a closer look at everything Samsung revealed in Brooklyn overnight. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 | Image: Rob Edwards / Man of Many Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 Pricing: 12GB memory with 256GB internal storage – AUD$2,899 12GB memory with 512GB internal storage – AUD$3,099 16GB memory with 1TB internal storage – AUD$3,549 The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is Samsung's latest uber-premium foldable smartphone and its most impressive yet. The largest contributing factor when it comes to this is the extremely slim new build, which means that when folded its dimensions are comparable to that of a traditional candybar-style smartphone. This, paired with enhanced camera functionality and a suite of AI-powered bells and whistles make for a formidable proposition. The Fold7 pairs the largest internal and external screens ever to appear within the Fold line with its most compact construction. The large internal display measures 8.0 inches diagonally, while the external one is 6.5 inches. This is a significant leap from the 7.6-inch and 6.3-inch offerings of the Fold6. Even more noticeable is the svelte nature of the Fold7's build, which has jettisoned 24 grams from the Fold6 to weigh just 215 grams—even lighter than the 218-gram Galaxy S25 Ultra—and massively reduced the thickness of the device when folded from 12.1 mm to 8.9 mm. The phone runs on Samsung's new One UI 8 operating system, an AI-powered platform designed to empower the user to make the most of the Fold7's dual screens through multitasking via intelligent tools that understand and respond intelligently to what users type, say, and see. This OS means the Fold7 is always ready to tackle a broad range of complex tasks from real-time language translation to generative photo edits. Camera upgrades also abound, with the rear camera module boasting 200.0 MP, 12.0 MP, and 10.0 MP lenses. The most notable of these is the Galaxy Z series' first 200.0 MP wide-angle camera which captures four times the detail of its predecessor on the Fold6. Inside, the main display's 10.0 MP is also an upgrade with its 100-degree offering designed to make it easier for users to capture selfies and crucial moments as soon as they unfold their phone. All of the Fold7's photography is enhanced by Samsung's next-generation ProVisual Engine, which offers faster image processing for enhanced clarity, vibrance, and detail. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 is now available for pre-order and will launch on August 1st, 2025. It comes in Blue Shadow, Silver Shadow, and Jet-black colourways, as well as an online-exclusive Mint finish. It is also available with three different memory and storage configurations: 12GB Memory with 256GB internal storage, 12GB Memory with 512GB internal storage, and 16GB Memory with 1TB internal storage. Pricing starts at a considerable AUD$2,899 with the highest-spec model commanding an asking price of AUD$3,549, although this has been reduced to AUD$3,349 for pre-orders. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 | Image: Supplied Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 Pricing: 256GB internal storage: AUD$1,799 512GB internal storage: AUD$1,999 Always the more accessible of Samsung's foldable devices, the Flip returns with an enhanced cover screen and a rage of other upgrades, including a slimmer build (nowhere near as slim os the Fold7, mind), AI-enabled One UI 8 operating system, and improved camera performance. The most noteworthy upgrade to the Flip7 is the new 4.1-inch Super AMOLED FlexWindow (that's what Samsung calls the square-shaped external display), which is now an edge-to-edge affair reminiscent of the Motorola Razr 50 Ultra. While it took Samsung a year longer than its less powerful smartphone rival to get to this point, better late than never. At my hands-on briefing with the devices, Samsung showed off a range of features that make the most of the FlexWindow, including coloured rings that appear around camera lenses to indicate what mode of photography or video capture you're in and an ability to enhance your phone with interactive wallpapers. These are small elements of the Flip7 experience, but they show an attention to detail that speaks to the overall polish of the device. While it hasn't enjoyed quite as dramatic a glow as its Fold sibling, the Flip7 continues the line's journey of refinement, reducing the 14.9 mm thickness of its predecessor when folded to just 13.7 mm. Despite this reduced size, it pairs its bigger internal display (up from last gen's 6.7 inches to 6.9) with a bigger 4,300mAh battery. Like the Fold7, the Flip7 takes advantage of Samung's new One UI 8 operating system, aiming to create an intuitive, one-handed experience that tailors itself to the user's style and routine, pairing enhanced productivity with increased personalisation. Finally, the Fold7 continues the line's focus on content capture and selfies in particular. With a 50MP Wide and a 12MP Ultra-Wide lens, the phone offers what Samsung describes as 'flagship-level clarity in any lighting,' including low-light conditions thanks to Enhanced Nightography functionality. Via the FlexWindow, users can activate real-time filters, while the zoom slider lets users zoom in or out with a simple swipe. Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip7 is available with either 256GB or 512GB of internal storage and comes in Blue Shadow, Jetblack, and Coralred colourways, with Mint again available as an online exclusive. Pricing starts from AUD$1,799 for the 256GB model, while the 512GB will normally set you back AUD$1,999. However, those who pre-order the Flip7 can score the 512GB model for the price of the 256GB one. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE | Image: Supplied Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE Pricing: 128GB internal storage: AUD$1,499 256GB internal storage: AUD$1,599 In addition to the Flip7, Samsung also unveiled the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, which is essentially an even more accessible option for those looking to dip their toes in the foldables category. In many respects a Flip6 at a more affordable price point, the Flip7 FE features a 6.7-inch main display, 50MP FlexCam for high-quality selfies and videos, and Samsung's Now Brief functionality, which provides personalised updates. The Flip7 FE is available in minimalist Black and White colourways and will set you back AUD$1,499 for the 128GB model and AUD$1,599 for the 256GB one. Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Range | Image: Supplied Samsung Galaxy Watch8 Range Pricing: Galaxy Watch8 (40 mm Bluetooth): AUD$649 Galaxy Watch8 (40 mm LTE): AUD$749 Galaxy Watch8 (44mm Bluetooth): AUD$699 Galaxy Watch8 (44 mm LTE): AUD$799 Galaxy Watch8 Classic (46 mm Bluetooth): AUD$899 Galaxy Watch8 Classic (46 mm LTE): AUD$999 Galaxy Watch Ultra (47 mm LTE): AUD$1,299 As has long been tradition, Samsung also unveiled some new wearables alongside its foldables. This year, the Korean tech giant unveiled the Galaxy Watch8, Galaxy Watch8 Classic, and Galaxy Watch Ultra for those who either want to monitor their health and fitness or simplydon't want to pull out their phone to check for notifications. According to the brand, the Galaxy Watch8 is 'designed for everyday wellness,' and it's minimalist design will mean it looks right at home on most wrists. Available in 40 mm and 44 mm sizes and in Graphite or Silver colourways, its perfect for those looking for an unobtrusive daily wearable. The 40 mm Watch8 will set you back AUD$649 for the Bluetooth model and AUD$749 for the LTE model, while the 44 mm incarnation is priced at AUD$699 for Bluetooth and AUD$799 for LTE. Next up, the Galaxy Watch8 Classic takes things up a notch with a rotating bezel and a quick button for extra convenience. Available in Black and White colourways and a surprisingly wearable 46 mm sizing, it brings a little traditional watch style to the smartwatch space. The Watch8 Classic will retail at $899 for the Bluetooth model and $999 for LTE connectivity. Finally, the new Galaxy Watch Ultra is billed as Samung's 'most advanced Galaxy Watch model yet.' Available in Titanium Blue, Titanium Silver, Titanium White, and Titanium Grey finishes, Samsung claims it sports 'the longest battery life and the most robust performance in the line-up.' To enjoy said battery life and performance, you can expect to hand over AUD$1,299 for this 47 mm LTE device.

Samsung Unveils Its New Line of Foldable Devices at Unpacked
NEW YORK (AP) — Samsung introduced several updates to its foldable devices lineup on Wednesday, with the new Galaxy Z Fold 7, Z Flip 7, and the new Z Flip 7 FE taking stage at the latest Unpacked event. The Korean electronics company unveiled the upgrades — including new versions of their watch — in New York but also announced an expanded partnership with Google to inject more artificial intelligence into its foldable lineup. Here are the biggest announcements from this summer's Unpacked event: A thinner Galaxy Z Fold 7 The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is much thinner and lighter than its predecessors, coming in at 0.17 inch thick when unfolded and less than half an inch folded. It also weighs slightly less than half a pound, an impressive feat considering the company also increased the total size of the screens from the Fold 6 — now 6.5 inches for the exterior screen and 8 inches for the interior screen. The battery capacity remains the same as the previous generation. But unlike previous generations of fold devices, this one doesn't support the company's digital stylus. A 200 megapixel camera will act as the main capture and a 10 megapixel camera that extends along the frame of the phone gives users the ability to quickly capture wide shots. The Fold 7 will retail starting at $1,999. Pre-orders start today, and the device will hit shelves on July 25. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 goes bigger The flippable cousin of the Fold has an enlarged 4.1-inch top screen and the clamshell folds down to just over half an inch. The inner display grows to 6.9 inches from the Flip 6's 6.7 inches. It gets a slightly bigger 4,300mAh battery and maintains a 50 megapixel main camera and 10 megapixel front camera. A new, cheaper version of the phone, called the Galaxy Z Flip 7 FE was also announced today. It's a slightly smaller version — keeping the Fold 6's 6.7 inch screen size — of its premium counterpart. The Galaxy Z Flip 7 will retail for $1,099.99 and the Flip 7 FE starts at $899.99. Pre-orders for both devices began Wednesday and both will be available generally on July 25. The updated Watch 8 series The Galaxy Watch Ultra, Watch 8 and Watch 8 Classic have all been refreshed with various updates — memory, thickness, design — but the main takeaway from today's event is that Google's Gemini AI was being preloaded onto the devices. Users can access the AI by speaking to their watch. AI permeates all of the devices Rick Osterloh, Google's senior vice president of devices and services, appeared in a pre-recorded video at Unpacked to announce that the AI Mode of its search engine will be used in Samsung's circle to search function, allowing users to make quick queries by tapping or circling things on their screen. And Gemini will receive further integration with base Samsung device apps, like Calendar and Reminders.
