Samsung unfolds the future: Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 debut with powerful AI and the sleekest designs yet

Samsung has once again raised the bar in the foldables category, unveiling the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Galaxy Z Flip7—its most advanced, AI-powered smartphones to date. With cutting-edge engineering, slimmer silhouettes, and personalised AI assistants built into their fabric, these devices are not just foldable—they’re formidable.

AI at the heart of the Fold

Both the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7 run on One UI 8 and Android 16, offering multimodal AI capabilities that blend voice, touch, and visual cues. At the centre of this experience is Gemini Live, Samsung’s new generative AI assistant that enables users to speak, type, or even show it what they’re looking at—and receive contextual, task-oriented help on the go.

Whether planning travel, editing photos, or crafting content on the move, Samsung’s AI is now optimised for the flexibility of foldables, processing tasks faster and more intuitively than ever.

Galaxy Z Flip7: A pocket-sized powerhouse

Compact yet capable, the Galaxy Z Flip7 is being positioned as the ultimate AI-driven lifestyle phone. With a larger 4.1-inch edge-to-edge FlexWindow, users can check messages, control music, or take selfies—all without flipping it open.

• Camera: A dual-lens setup (50MP wide + 12MP ultra-wide) enables high-quality selfies and FlexCam shots directly from the cover screen.

• Battery: A 4,300mAh battery—the largest ever in a Flip device—ensures all-day power with 31 hours of video play time.

• Processor: A 3nm chip designed for Galaxy makes the device zippy and energy-efficient.

• New Features: Samsung DeX comes to the Flip for the first time, turning the device into a portable workstation.

With features like Now Bar and Now Brief, the FlexWindow becomes a real-time dashboard for updates, fitness stats, rideshare ETAs, and live alerts. Personalisation features—from wallpapers to widgets—allow users to make the device an extension of their style. Samsung also launched a more accessible Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, offering core features in a minimalist design with fewer specs.

Galaxy Z Fold7: The ultimate productivity canvas

For power users and professionals, the Galaxy Z Fold7 is Samsung’s most immersive and intelligent foldable yet. Thinner and lighter than its predecessor, it transforms from a traditional smartphone into an expansive 8.0-inch tablet-like workspace.

• AI Productivity: Features like Circle to Search, Drag & Drop AI Results, and Generative Edits for photos and videos turn multitasking and content creation into seamless experiences.

• Camera: The Fold7 features a triple-camera setup with a 200MP main sensor, AI-enhanced imaging, and 10-bit HDR for cinematic detail.

• Display: With 2,600 nits peak brightness and Vision Booster, the screen remains vibrant even in direct sunlight.

• Durability: The new Armor FlexHinge, Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, and an advanced Titanium plate layer enhance strength without bulk.

  Thanks to Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the Fold7 delivers performance boosts of over 40% across CPU, GPU, and NPU tasks, making it ideal for AI-heavy workflows.

Security for the AI age

Both devices ship with Samsung Knox Vault and Knox Matrix, offering multi-layered security for AI data. Samsung has also introduced post-quantum cryptography in Secure Wi-Fi—future-proofing device connections against the next generation of cyber threats.

Availability and offers

Pre-orders for the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy Z Fold7 begin on July 9, with general availability starting on July 25. Both models are available in new finishes like Jet-Black, Coral-Red, Silver Shadow, and Mint (the latter exclusive to Samsung.com).

Users who purchase either device will get six months of Google AI Pro access and 2TB of free cloud storage, as well as the option to join the New Galaxy Club for upgrades and Samsung Care+ for accidental coverage.

With the launch of the Z Fold7 and Z Flip7, Samsung has reasserted its leadership in foldable innovation—combining AI, design, and durability in a future-ready form. As global smartphone shipments recover, these devices aim to solidify Samsung’s edge in the premium segment—and make AI a fingertip affair for millions.
