Stay tuned. The camera will only get smarter — helping users capture life’s moments more vividly and make everyday experiences more seamless, personal and impactful.

The Ultra experience is ready to unfold.

Introduced in 2019, the first Galaxy Fold was a completely new form factor that combined the portability of a smartphone with the extensive productivity of a tablet — challenging conventional perceptions of what a smartphone could be. Driven by the bold vision that foldable phones could reconcile two seemingly conflicting demands—large screens and true portability—Samsung looked to other industries for inspiration, engineering a durable hinge and proving that smartphone displays, too, could fold. It was a synthesis of creativity and productivity that unlocked new possibilities – from seamless multitasking on the go to immersive content creation.

But smartphones are constant companions that we tuck into our pockets, use with one hand and take everywhere we go. So it’s only natural that users desire a foldable device that is as easy to carry as it is to use. To that end,  Samsung engineers and designers are refining each generation of the Galaxy Z series to be thinner, lighter and more durable than the last.

That’s why Galaxy’s next chapter is to provide an experience that seamlessly blends artistry and engineering to elevate everyday interactions.

Squeeze onto a crowded subway train for your evening commute with the device folded in hand and use voice controls to have AI find you the perfect restaurant and text your dining companion. Finish off that unsent work email during the ride, then use the powerful camera to commemorate your night out. AI-powered tools enable all-day messaging, browsing and gaming on the go, so you can focus on your life—all without weighing you down.

With industry-leading hardware, cutting-edge performance and seamless AI integration optimized for the foldable format, it’s what users have come to expect from Galaxy Ultra.

And when it unfolds, it transforms– into a more immersive entertainment hub, a spacious workspace, or a multitasking powerhouse, now enhanced by powerful Galaxy AI features designed specifically for the foldable form.

The Ultra experience is ready to unfold.

A foldable is exactly that — a folding phone. Unlike bar-type smartphones with a single body, foldables consist of a central hinge and two folding sides. The hinge serves as the central axis for opening and closing the phone. Over time, Samsung has introduced unique, cutting-edge technology into the hinge mechanism of its Galaxy Z Fold series to create a revolutionary hinge design with each release. In addition, Samsung has continued to reduce the thickness of the Galaxy Z Fold series so the phone can be carried anytime, anywhere.

Samsung Newsroom looked back at the evolution of the Galaxy Z Fold series’ sleek profile and distinctive hinge design — now thinner, sturdier and compact as ever.

[2019] Galaxy Fold

The Dawn of Foldable Phones: Folding and Unfolding

Thickness when folded: 15.7-17.1mm Thickness when unfolded: 6.9-7.6mm Weight: 276g

As user lifestyles continue to diversify, so too do their needs. Samsung has consistently introduced advanced technologies each year to meet these changes. First unveiled in 2019, the Galaxy Fold featured a groundbreaking form factor — the first to deliver a natural, big-screen experience when unfolded and a compact, portable experience when folded. The act of “folding and unfolding” emerged as a new category of mobile interaction, and Samsung applied never-before-seen hinge technology to ensure this functionality felt natural and intuitive.

The inward-folding hinge not only felt familiar and easy to use, but it also provided robust display protection. The phone could be smoothly opened like a book, yet stay flat and thin when folded. The palm-sized dimensions were key to its convenience. With the first Galaxy Fold, Samsung achieved a maximum folded thickness of just 17.1 millimeters and ushered in the era of smart foldables.

[2020] Galaxy Z Fold2

The Era of Flex Mode: Hideaway Hinge and Sweeper Technology

Thickness when folded: 13.8-16.8mm Thickness when unfolded: 6.0-6.9mm Weight: 282g

In 2020, the successor to the pioneering Galaxy Fold was released. The Galaxy Z Fold2 took foldables to the next level with an all-new sophisticated and refined design. The most notable of its several innovative features was the Hideaway Hinge, which seamlessly connected the body of the smartphone while supporting stable folding and unfolding. Users could mount the Galaxy Z Fold2 at various angles with the Hideaway Hinge to easily take selfies and make video calls in Flex Mode.

The Hideaway Hinge’s more than sixty parts made the innovative dual CAM mechanism a reality. The flat surface between two ridge-shaped parts, CAM helped keep the device open or closed and enabled Flex Mode. By increasing the number of CAM structures and springs, the hinge could reliably support wider angles. The Hideaway Hinge was mounted on an optimal location on the Galaxy Z Fold2 for an even slimmer design and a maximum folded thickness of just 16.8 millimeters.

Since the hinge was constantly folded when the device was opened or closed, there was an inevitable gap between the front of the device and the hinge housing. To effectively minimize this gap, Samsung needed to develop a component that would be long-lasting and elastic without adding extra bulk. Inspired by the brush of a vacuum cleaner, Samsung made use of delicately cut optical fibers to address this issue: Sweeper Technology. Sweeper Technology protected the phone’s display from external dust and debris that could enter through the gap, providing a more fluid foldable device experience.

[2021] Galaxy Z Fold3

The Solution to the Foldable Phone’s Biggest Challenge: Waterproofing

Thickness when folded: 14.4-16.0mm Thickness when unfolded: 6.4mm Weight: 271g

It’s a given that today’s smartphones are waterproof. However, the hinge that opened and closed the screen on foldables would always be exposed to the elements. If liquids such as beverages or even rainwater leaked inside, the device would be at risk of immediate malfunction.

The Galaxy Z Fold3 was the first foldable to be water resistant, one of the biggest challenges that previous foldable devices faced. Samsung’s waterproofing technology was applied to two areas — the outer part of the display and the hinge. The outer part of the display was surrounded by a rubber band that prevented dust and liquid from entering, whereas the metal parts of the hinge were made of corrosion-resistant materials and coated with a long-lasting lubricant. The terminal connecting the two mainboards bordering the hinge was sealed with a silicone-based cured-in-place gasket (CIPG) that prevented liquid from entering the device. Additionally, flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) cables were used to protect sensitive components.

A robust material that withstands external shocks and reduces the risk of deformities or scratches, Armor Aluminum was used to help the Galaxy Z Fold3 achieve an even thinner and lighter form factor.

Armor Aluminum was applied to the two edges that make up the exterior and to the housing that surrounds the hinge. Various components were densely packed inside the Galaxy Z Fold3’s Hideaway Hinge to enable Flex Mode and ensure smooth opening and closing. To support these functions, the hinge housing needed to be made from sturdy materials.

The Sweeper Technology that closed the gap between the hinge and the body of the foldable evolved too. As the device became slimmer, the sweeper’s bristles were shortened to improve aesthetics while still keeping the hinge safe from dust and external particles. These innovations allowed the Galaxy Z Fold3 to be as thin as 16.0 millimeters when folded.

[2022] Galaxy Z Fold4

From Rotating to Linear: A Slimmer, Lighter Hinge

Thickness when folded: 14.2-15.8mm Thickness when unfolded: 6.3mm Weight: 263g

Unveiled in 2022, the Galaxy Z Fold4 saw a significant reduction in weight and thickness. At 263 grams, the device weighed nearly 20 grams less than the Galaxy Z Fold2 at 282 grams. The maximum folded thickness was 15.8 millimeters, making this foldable the thinnest in the series at the time. Once again, Samsung loaded its signature foldable with innovation — resulting in an easy-to-grip, thin and lightweight body.

Redesigned to be 21% lighter than its predecessor, the new hinge of the Galaxy Z Fold4 accommodated the wider width and shorter length of the Cover Screen. While the previous foldable in the series used interlocking gears to ensure even screen folding and unfolding, the Galaxy Z Fold4 changed the hinge motion from rotary to linear. This adjustment drastically reduced weight, thickness and the number of parts, which streamlined manufacturing and improved the device’s resilience. With the Galaxy Z Fold4, Samsung built its slimmest, lightest hinge at the time while upholding the same level of durability as the previous form factor.

[2023] Galaxy Z Fold5

Flex Hinge: The Secret to a Fully Foldable Phone

Thickness when folded: 13.4mm Thickness when unfolded: 6.1mm Weight: 253g

In 2023, the Galaxy Z Fold5 introduced the world to the next generation of foldable smartphones. Moving away from the traditional Hideaway Hinge, Samsung unveiled a new type of mechanism called the Flex Hinge — demonstrating a leap forward in foldable innovation. With improved flexibility and a wide range of features, the Flex Hinge made it possible for the display to curl into the hinge like a water droplet using four drive shafts and a dual rail structure that allowed parts to glide along it. Thanks to this hinge technology, the two screens could be evenly folded without any creases or gaps.

This new folding mechanism resulted in the lightest and thinnest Galaxy Z Fold series device yet. More than two millimeters thinner than its predecessor, the Galaxy Z Fold5’s maximum thickness is 13.4 millimeters when folded. The foldable also weighs 253 grams — 10 grams lighter than its predecessor — making it more compact, portable and stable when folded. The phone’s sleek, solid shape could be appreciated from any angle.

Each year, Samsung refines the Galaxy Z Fold series by leveraging precise engineering and meticulous manufacturing processes. Every detail is studied carefully, from internal mechanisms to exterior design. Reimagining the hinges and device thickness — core attributes of the foldable — has enhanced the utility of the Galaxy Z Fold series immensely. Samsung will continue to build on its legacy of unprecedented foldables, ensuring that more people can utilize them for an even more convenient life.

With foldable smartphone shipments expected to reach 16 million units worldwide[2] – an increase of 73% year on year – the form factor is rapidly becoming mainstream, and shipments are expected to grow to 26 million units in 2023. The ease of multitasking on a large screen, and the powerful app optimizations for foldable devices, are helping drive adoption among enterprise users.

Benefits of Foldables for Enterprise Users

As companies shift towards work-from-anywhere policies, they are looking to technology for new ways to maximize productivity. Foldables have particularly attracted the financial services industry, where 74%[3] of a sample group of financial advisors say staying connected via mobile apps is important or critical.

“Samsung Galaxy foldable smartphones were created to open up opportunities for new ways to work and explore creativity,” said KC Choi, EVP and Head of Global Mobile B2B Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “This rapid growth in investment demonstrates our enterprise customers’ need for meaningful innovations to enhance workforce productivity.”

The Galaxy Z Fold4 – Samsung’s fourth-generation foldable smartphone – is a multi-tasking powerhouse ideal for business use. Despite its pocket-friendly dimensions, it offers a large, expansive sized screen, making it easier to get things done compared to traditional smartphone screens.

The Galaxy Z Fold4’s expansive screen offers a larger working area, well suited to make the most of features from desktop computers. The perfect tool for juggling multiple tasks and pairs of apps, the PC-like Taskbar enables users to manage, launch and switch between apps, all without interrupting work.

The huge screen space is also a natural fit for working with Multi Windows. The Galaxy Z Fold4 can open up to three apps at once, including two of the same app for side-by-side comparisons. For example, users can respond to Gmail while viewing two Chrome browser tabs, just like working at a desk with multiple screens.

The Galaxy Z Fold4 also adapts to workflow needs. Flex Mode not only provides a hands-free experience for major video conferencing tools, it can now support dedicated e-signature or note-taking capabilities on partner apps using S Pen.[4]

Powerful Partnerships That Enhance the Experience of Foldable Devices

These experiences have been popular across many sectors of businesses and industries. In the current market, competition is fierce, especially in the financial services sector. Professionals need the best tools to help them maintain consistency and routine, even while working remotely.

Their devices must support complex workflows, including alerts, research, charts and portfolios, and give them the power and productivity advantage they need to stay competitive. Working with industry-leading partners, Samsung has enhanced Galaxy Z Fold4’s utility in unique ways, leading to wider adoption of foldables for enterprise use.

According to a recent survey, the Bloomberg Professional app[5] is the most used financial services app by investment professionals, such as traders, analysts and portfolio managers.[6] It takes advantage of the Galaxy Z Fold’s unique form factor to enable financial professionals to access Bloomberg’s market data, analytics, news, and communications on the go in a more intuitive and immersive way, while preserving the user experience and functionality with which they are familiar. On Samsung Galaxy Z Fold4, the Bloomberg Professional app’s adaptive layout provides for easy continuity and multitasking on the go. Users can effortlessly switch from the cover screen, ideal for quick Instant Bloomberg (IB) conversations, to the large screen that makes it easier to read news stories, monitoring real-time market data, browse portfolios or perform chart analysis. This allows financial professionals to do familiar work in an enhanced way on their foldable device.

Since its inception, the mobile device has had many iterations in shape and size. From the large, bulky portables of the 80s to the ‘banana’, ‘butterfly’ and ‘clamshell’ designs of the 90s to noughties. The past decade has seen the bar smartphone design dominate the market, with differences being in size. So it’s easy to assume, that this is all that’s going to be.

Yet, we’re now looking at an emerging form factor. One that has unique value propositions that far surpass the bar smartphone design. The Samsung Galaxy Z series is already transforming how people use their devices. Now in its fourth generation, the current refinements have resulted in lighter form factors with optimised dimensions. This is the case for why your next device, should be a foldable.

Unrivalled Viewing

The bigger the better, may be an overly used statement, but when it comes to screen, you can’t go wrong with larger viewing real estate. And this is where the Galaxy Z series stands – well at 7.6 inches of detailed rich screen. Far larger than most bar phones in the market. Better yet, you have a choice of screen sizes to choose from on one device. When folded, you can still complete tasks on your device. However, with a bar device you’re limited to one screen size option only, which is kind of boring after a while.

Aspirational Design

Yes, we said bigger is better, but let’s flip this around. The inherent flexibility of foldables, means you can easily turn that large screen into a pocket size device that slips easily into your pocket. The Galaxy Z Flip4, offers a full smartphone experience that folds into half the size for compact pocketability. Even the Galaxy Z Fold4 can easily be folded away and kept safe in your bag or pocket. Folded away doesn’t mean you’ve compromised on screen access either. You can still enjoy one-handed use on the Cover Screen of your Galaxy Z Fold4, as you would with your standard bar phone.

PC-like Capabilities

Smartphones and PCs are quite different and this is very obvious when you try to use your bar device for work. The Galaxy Z Fold4, with its PC-like multitasking features, gives you a productivity boost. Thanks to our longstanding partnership with Microsoft, the full Office suite and Outlook take advantage of the foldable display, giving you more information on screen and faster ways to interact with your content. With the two-pane UI, you can check your email on your phone while sitting in a video call and take notes with your S Pen. The Taskbar[1] feature also provides a familiar layout like your PC. Better yet, it’s certainly easier to take your PC-like foldable to the café, on a walk or out on date than lug your PC with you!

Flex Mode

You’re out with friends perhaps playing tennis, gliding on rollerskates or simply sipping matcha and nibbling a sando. You whip out your bar phone to snap a pic, and now you’re leaning it on a wall as you fumble away to balance it right. We’ve all been there, and this is where foldables truly knock bar phones down again with their FlexCam[2] abilities. Both the Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 don’t require a tripod. As you can set them down easily for a hands-free, voguing, photo session. And this is certainly conveyed to other activities, such as online presentation where you need to move, to watching videos with friends.

Unfold Your Future

So to sum it up, foldables are the smartphones of the future that offer so much more than the traditional bar smartphone. You have all the features that you get with bar and a whole lot more advantages that deliver a personalised experience. So why stick to the one-size-fits-all motif? Get ready to change how you interact with your everyday life, and bring home your own foldable today.

Effortless and Flexible Multitasking

Having a flexible screen design that can work as separate panels gives you more ways to multitask across apps on-the-go, especially with the Flex Mode[1] function. Flex Mode enables apps to reorientate to fit the screen when your phone is partially folded, so you can use one half of the screen to watch a video, and the other half to navigate (see image above).

The Galaxy Z Fold4 also comes equipped a new Taskbar[2]and swipe gestures[3], giving you a PC-like layout for quick access to both your favorite and recent apps. For increased productivity, you can then easily re-fit full-screen apps in one’s screen with just a swipe and shift swiftly between pop-ups or split screen views.

Enriched user experiences on your most-used apps

The experience of using foldables can only be great if the OS and apps are optimized to their unique form factors. The latest Galaxy Z series are the first devices equipped with Android 12L, exclusively developed for large screens, including foldables.

To ensure that users get the best out of their foldables, Samsung worked closely with leading app developers to create unique user interfaces and optimized apps that enable increased functionality whenever the phone is open or closed.

Google-branded apps, including Chrome and Gmail now support drag-and-drop functionality, allowing users to quickly copy and paste links, photos and more across apps. With Google Meet, you can now share joy-filled experiences with more people though virtual co-activities, including co-watching videos on YouTube or playing games together on a video call[4]. Microsoft’s Office suite such as Outlook now take advantage of the foldable display, providing more information onscreen, and faster ways to interact with content.

Improved navigation with the upgraded S Pen

With the Galaxy Z Fold4 opening to showcase a stunning 7.6-inch AMOLED Main Screen[5], the S Pen[6] is the perfect add-on to ensure precision and efficiency as you draw, take notes, or navigate. The S Pen is now even smarter, with new AI technology that automatically recommends follow-up actions in its Smart Select function.

To ensure your phone remains as light and thin as possible, the S Pen can be stylishly attached to the Galaxy Z Fold4 with the new Standing Cover[7] that comes in matching colors for a seamless look.

Thinner, lighter, and more portable than ever

A primary benefit of foldables is being able to enjoy large screen sizes in a conveniently compact form, and these latest devices in the Galaxy Z series continue to push the limits of the folding form factor without compromising on quality.

While both the Galaxy Z Flip4[8] and Galaxy Z Fold4[9] are smaller than the previous generation, the devices have retained their respective 6.7” and 7.6” AMOLED Main Screens.

Due to the slimmer hinge and narrower bezel used on the Galaxy Z Fold4, the phone is lighter[10] and more comfortable for one-handed use. The Galaxy Z Fold4’s improved dimensions also result in new screen ratios on the Cover Screen[11] and Main Screen[12] for added functionality and an immersive viewing experience.

Built for Creativity and Customization

If compact size, versatility in creating content, and customization options play a big part in which foldable you choose, the Galaxy Z Flip4 is the perfect choice for you.

This fun-sized device packs a punch with an upgraded camera that has a 65% brighter sensor[13] and is powered by the Snapdragon® 8+ Gen 1 Mobile Platform. FlexCam[14], the phone’s front and rear dual cameras also allow you to capture photos and videos from different perspectives, with the enhanced Quick Shot function which now supports a preview on the Cover Screen to give you more options as you snap your favorite moments. The FlexCam function is supported on Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, so you can share your creative shots with loved ones seamlessly.

The 1.9-inch Cover Screen now has more shortcut choices, letting you switch on the flashlight or airplane mode, play a tune, make a call, or reply to texts with emoji and Speech-to-Text without needing to open your phone.

The Galaxy Z Flip4 is available in four vibrant colors – Bora Purple, Graphite, as well as Pink Gold and Blue which are newly added. If these choices are not your vibe, you can create a device that is uniquely you with the Galaxy Bespoke Edition[15]. Available exclusively for the Galaxy Z Flip series, the Galaxy Bespoke Edition lets you choose from 75 combinations of glass and frame colors for the ultimate customization experience[16].

Designed to go the distance

If you worry that foldables may be more fragile to the trials of daily life, fret not. Both Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4 use Armor Aluminum frames and hinge covers, along with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus®+ on the Cover Screen and rear glass. The devices’ screens are carefully engineered and optimized to be extra durable and resist damage from external shocks, like dropping one’s phone.

Unlike in the past when one screen meant one application open, Galaxy Z foldable phone users can divide their screens according to what they need to get done, and even rest their phone easily to harness apps hands-free. With the latest lineup of foldable phones, these multi-tasking features have evolved to become more sophisticated and offer more unique user experiences.

In the second part of this two-part series, Samsung Newsroom is providing some useful tips for harnessing the unique form factor and user experience (UX) of the Galaxy Z foldable lineup for everyday scenarios in ways you might not have thought of before.

Multi-Active Window ①: Viewing Two Navigation Applications – Simultaneously

When choosing which route to take with a navigation app, unforeseen circumstances, such as traffic jams or construction, can make you regret the route you’ve taken. Galaxy Z foldable phone users have an easy fix to such situations: thanks to Multi-Active Window, you can easily open up two different navigation apps at the same time to compare expected arrival times and traffic situations so as to follow the navigation route that will get you to your destination as quickly as possible.

Notably, the Galaxy Z Fold2 features a 7.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display that allows you to check your route with a single glance. If you’d like to switch back to following just one navigation app, simply adjust the Multi-Active Window tray to view the navigation app you prefer with a single tap of the screen. With this easy-to-view and easily dividable screen, you can navigate rush hour with an extra helping hand.

Multi-Active Window ②: Mobile Banking Made Easy

As mobile banking has become more convenient, it has become more and more common for us to use our smartphones to make financial transactions as we go about our day, particularly when we need to send a friend some money or make a quick online purchase. However, bank account numbers are not easy to memorize, meaning that when it comes to making a transfer, we find ourselves switching back and forth between app windows – making what should be a seamless process somewhat inconvenient.

Galaxy Z foldable phone users can get their mobile bank transfers done in no time, as they can divide their smartphone’s screen to view the messenger app with account information on the top half and manage their mobile banking app on the bottom half. You can enjoy convenient and accurate transactions on the very first try all without the hassle of memorizing account numbers as you can check the correct information as you go thanks to Multi-Active Window.

When you need to access information or details for a bank transfer regularly, you can use App Pair, a feature that lets you open up to three of your most-frequently used apps at the same time, to ‘pair’ your notepad with your mobile banking application – meaning that the two will open simultaneously and allow you to make your payments more conveniently.

Drag and Drop: For Editing Files, Even While on the Go

We’ve all had those moments after work when we’re enjoying having logged off for the day – but then an urgent message comes in that the presentation we were working on requires editing. In order to allow users to respond to such time-sensitive requests using just their Galaxy Z foldable smartphones, Samsung has developed intuitive document editing functions for easy file editing in any situation.

Drag and Drop is a feature that lets you copy & paste text, charts and images instantly when using compatible apps. For example, say you have divided your screen into three parts using Multi-Active Window to open up Excel, PowerPoint, and Word at the same time. You can easily edit all your files in one go with this feature as you can copy data from Excel and paste it right away into your PowerPoint presentation, or copy an image from PowerPoint and paste it directly into your Word document. From editing through to sending the edited file, everything can be taken care of directly from your smartphone.

Multi-Active Window ③: Making Travel Plans Easier and Quicker with Vertical Split Screen

Making concrete and organized travel plans is a crucial part of having a relaxing vacation, especially when you’re planning for a spontaneous weekend away or a sudden trip that doesn’t leave you with much time to plan. Getting everything done at once can be overwhelming, so by harnessing Multi-Active Window and Vertical Split Screen Mode of your Galaxy Z foldable phone, you can make your vacation plans and bookings with optimal efficiency. First, split your top screen vertically, and harness the bottom screen to research your vacation ideas while making note of itineraries in one half of your split top screen and searching for real-time pricings of accommodations on the other half.

Furthermore, Galaxy Z Fold users can simply swipe left on their Edge panel, tap the app they’d like to switch into their Multi-Active Window layout and drag it into the layout to instantly open the app. For your most commonly-used layouts, you can also save a specific mode into your Edge panel for easy and instant access whenever you need it.

Flex Mode: Harnessing Your Foldable Phone for Victory with a Second Screen

These days, many gamers are using game walkthroughs, which are guides that provide useful information pertaining to the game’s characters, maps, items and more. In order to most effectively enjoy a walkthrough while playing a game, Galaxy Z Fold2 users can harness their smartphone as a handy secondary monitor by using Flex mode and the Cover display. Simply place your device in a convenient location and enjoy stress-free gaming without the hassle of having to set up a secondary monitor or arrange a smartphone within the best field of vision.

If you’d like to watch the game walkthrough more in detail, all you need to do is just unfold the Galaxy Z Fold. The Galaxy Z Fold series supports App Continuity, meaning that you can freely move between the Cover and Main displays.
