Equipped with multimodal AI and a foldable-optimized UI, the Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers a truly Ultra experience that raises the bar for smartphones.

Samsung Newsroom unboxed the Galaxy Z Fold7 for Galaxy fans eager to see all the exciting improvements and advanced capabilities that the new device brings.

First Impressions

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7

Upon opening the sleek, black packaging, Galaxy’s signature modern design, slim silhouette, and remarkably light build are all immediately apparent.

The signature color Blue Shadow shifts with an iridescent glow from deep navy to bright blue as the device’s metallic finish reflects light from different angles, perfectly capturing Galaxy’s futuristic, premium aesthetic.

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is available in three colors: the signature Blue Shadow, the modern Silver Shadow, and the ever-popular Jetblack — with Mint also available as a Samsung.com exclusive.¹

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7’s rear triple camera

The camera island surrounding the rear triple camera matches the body color of the device for a seamless, cohesive design.

For the first time in the series, the Galaxy Z Fold7 features a 200MP wide-angle camera, allowing users to capture every moment in stunning detail. It also comes equipped with enhanced night photography and videography capabilities, along with a 100-degree main display front camera, to bring an Ultra camera experience to the foldable form factor.

Thinner Than Ever

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest device in the series to date, representing the culmination of years of hardware innovation. From design to material selection, every effort was made to shave off even a single millimeter — and this can be appreciated the moment the device is picked up for the first time.

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7 is easier than ever to grasp in the hand.

As the latest evolution in the Z Fold series, the Galaxy Z Fold7 now fits even more comfortably in one hand, making it easier to carry.

▲The Galaxy Z Fold7 is only 8.9mm thick when folded, which is comparable to a chocolate wafer bar.

Familiar Comfort When Folded, Expansive View When Unfolded

The cover display now features a wider 21:9 aspect ratio, bringing the familiar proportions of a bar-type smartphone to a foldable device. Thanks to this, the Galaxy Z Fold7 offers a user experience similar to that of a Galaxy S25 Ultra device when folded.

At 6.5 inches, the cover display also allows for more accurate typing and a wider view of content when sending quick messages or searching for information — a subtle yet impactful improvement over the slightly narrower screen of the Galaxy Z Fold6.

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7’s larger cover display makes it easier to type when the device is folded.

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is actually lighter than many bar-type smartphones. At just 215g, it is even lighter than the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 218g, which takes foldable usability to a whole new level.³

So, when folded, the device offers the intuitive feel of a bar-type smartphone — and when unfolded, it delivers the largest, most immersive display of any Galaxy smartphone out there. The result is an experience unique to the Galaxy Z Fold7.

Multimodal AI Meets Foldable Innovation

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is one of the first Samsung devices to bring One UI 8 on Android 16 offering a more accessible way to experience multimodal AI in everyday life. For example, with a long press of the side button, users can instantly activate Gemini Live, the on-device AI agent, and effortlessly share what’s on their screen or in front of their camera in real time.

The large main display expands the AI agent’s understanding of complex situations. It can interpret multiple apps on the Multi Window layout simultaneously to make conversations more intuitive and helpful.

For example, if someone is trying to pick the perfect Galaxy Z Fold7 color to match their favorite purse, they can open the Gallery app on the left window to display a photo of the purse, and open the browser on the right window to display the Z Fold7’s color options. After that, all they need to do is press and hold the side button to activate Gemini Live, tap “Share screen with Live” and ask whether their purse would go well with the color they have in mind.

The AI agent will then analyze both screens at once and let them know whether that color and the purse pair nicely. Even when the device is folded, users can still ask the AI agent questions and receive real-time answers.

Let’s say a user wants to know which batteries their TV remote requires — they can just share their camera with Gemini Live by directing the camera at the remote and ask away. Galaxy AI will recognize the model and instantly tell you which battery type it needs.

With a simple voice command, they can also save information on the nearest stores that sell them to Samsung Notes and even set a reminder to buy the batteries after work — all without typing anything.

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7 can display AI-generated answers in pop-up or split screen view, keeping multitasking fluid and uninterrupted.

The Galaxy Z Fold7’s AI-powered features go beyond live assistance. When browsing the web, users can request information from Galaxy AI without breaking rhythm and losing focus of the content in front of them. Responses will appear in pop-ups or split view, keeping multitasking smooth and uninterrupted.

Thinner, smarter and more powerful than ever, Galaxy Z Fold7 makes a bold first impression — a next-generation device ushering in the era of the Ultra foldable, poised to redefine the future of mobile innovation.

Through AI-powered assistance, Galaxy users can more naturally engage in conversational interactions that make everyday tasks easier. Just press and hold the side button to show Gemini Live¹ what you see while simultaneously interacting with it in a live conversation.

Imagine picking out an outfit or reorganizing a closet. Gemini Live can now make those everyday decisions easier. By simply pointing the camera, users can get suggestions on how to categorize items and optimize space, or share their screen while browsing online retailers to receive personalized style advice. With the ability to see what the user sees and respond in real time, Galaxy S25 series feels like a trusted friend who’s always ready to help.

“Together with Google, we are marking a bold step toward the future of mobile AI, delivering smarter interactions that are deeply in sync with how we live, work and communicate,” said Jay Kim, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience Office, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “With this new visual capability, Galaxy S25 series brings next-generation AI experiences to life, setting new standards for how users engage with the world through their devices.”

On April 7, Gemini Live with camera and screen sharing capabilities will start rolling out to all Galaxy S25 series users at no additional cost. For more information about Galaxy S25 series, please visit: Samsung Newsroom, Samsungmobilepress.com and Samsung.com.
