Samsung Electronics has announced the Galaxy Z Fold7, its most advanced foldable smartphone to date, highlighting a blend of precision engineering, lightweight design, and AI-powered functionality. Launched on July 9, 2025, the device is positioned to deliver premium performance and improved productivity through a larger, immersive display and upgraded software features. Weighing 215 grams and measuring 8.9 mm when folded, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest and lightest device in the Galaxy Z Fold series.
It features a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X cover screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio. When unfolded, the device reveals an 8-inch main display, which is 11 percent larger than the previous model. This screen supports multitasking and content creation with up to 2,600 nits of brightness. Durability enhancements include a redesigned hinge structure called the Armor FlexHinge, which incorporates a multi-rail system to minimize creasing. The cover screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2.
The frame and hinge housing use reinforced Armor Aluminum, while the main display includes a titanium plate and 50 percent thicker ultra-thin glass for added strength. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor, offering performance improvements over the previous generation. Neural Processing Unit speed is increased by 41 percent, while CPU and GPU speeds are boosted by 38 percent and 26 percent, respectively.
