As the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Z Fold yet, the Galaxy Z Fold7 features multimodal AI capabilities, a redesigned user interface and the series’ first 200-megapixel camera. With ultra-level refinement across design and technology, the device sets a new standard for foldable smartphones.

Samsung Newsroom got an exclusive early look at the Galaxy Z Fold7 during Galaxy Unpacked 2025.

Design: Slimmer and Lighter

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest and lightest in the Galaxy Z Fold series to date — measuring 4.2 millimeters when unfolded, 8.9 millimeters when folded and weighing 215 grams. Considering the inclusion of a cover display and a complex folding mechanism, these are breakthrough figures.

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7 is 4.2 millimeters thick when unfolded, shown next to two U.S. nickels for scale.

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7 is 8.9 millimeters thick when folded, shown next to a marker for scale.

The hardware innovation is immediately noticeable — significantly slimmer and more lightweight than its predecessors. The device feels closer to a bar-type smartphone in hand and is thinner than the average passport or card wallet, making it exceptionally comfortable to carry.

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7 is noticeably lighter and more comfortable to hold.

The cover display’s wider 21:9 aspect ratio makes everyday tasks like messaging, browsing and checking email more convenient — all without unfolding the device.

▲ The Galaxy Z Fold7’s cover display resembles a bar-type smartphone in both form and function.

Design innovation extends to the hinge. The newly applied Armor FlexHinge is thinner while maintaining durability and the upgraded structure significantly reduces the visibility of the crease along the foldable display.

▲ The upgraded internal hinge structure reduces the appearance of the crease on the display.

Camera: Clarity at the Highest Resolution

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the first in the Galaxy Z Fold series to feature a 200-megapixel camera — capturing four times the detail compared to its previous 50-megapixel counterpart. Paired with the AI-powered ProVisual Engine, the camera delivers sharper images and more vivid color.

Nightography ensures crisp, clear shots even in low light, while the front main camera now offers a wider 100-degree field of view — maximizing the advantages of the large display. From group selfies to sweeping travel scenes, the device helps frame every moment with ease.

Multimodal AI and One UI 8: Contextual Help in Real Time

The Galaxy Z Fold7 debuts with One UI 8, introducing Samsung’s new multimodal AI experience.

Thanks to Google’s Gemini Live, users can share their screen in real time while speaking with the AI assistant — enabling contextual requests based on what’s visible.

For example, when a user comes across a photo of an unfamiliar dessert, Gemini can analyze the image, identify it and recommend nearby places that serve something similar.

▲ Gemini Live supports screen sharing for real-time assistance.

Gemini can then save the restaurant list and set a calendar reminder — completing both tasks simultaneously. There’s no need to switch apps or copy and paste, as the AI assistant integrates seamlessly into daily routines.

▲ Gemini streamlines planning and coordination.

This feature becomes even more powerful when paired with the Galaxy Z Fold7’s large screen and Multi-Window.

▲ Multi-Window allows users to perform a variety of tasks using the large screen.

For instance, a user can display a chair on the left screen and a room on the right, then ask Gemini whether the furniture matches the interior. The AI assistant analyzes the context of both screens and offers helpful guidance.

▲ Gemini analyzes the image of the room, recommends a suitable chair and even converts it into the desired color.

This Galaxy-exclusive user experience enables intuitive, natural communication between users and their devices — not only through text but also via images, voice and live camera input when requesting information or assistance from AI.

The Galaxy Z Fold7 goes beyond a simple evolution in design and technology, setting a new benchmark with an ultra-premium experience that integrates into every part of daily life. From cutting-edge hardware and smarter AI to a best-in-class camera, the Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers the true ultra experience promised by Galaxy.

It gives people the ultra experience they want— powerful, immersive, intelligent, and portable all in one.”

Ultra Sleek, Ultra Powerful

Thinnest, Lightest Galaxy Z Fold

Galaxy Z Fold7 is crafted for those who want the everyday portability and intuitive feel of a traditional smartphone, combined with the enhanced power and flexibility of a larger, unfolded display – all in one device. With its ultra thin and light design and wider cover display, Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers a seamless on-the-go experience that makes typing and browsing effortless when it is folded.

• At just 215 grams,[1] Galaxy Z Fold7 is even lighter than Galaxy S25 Ultra.
• It is just 8.9 mm thick when folded and 4.2 mm thick when unfolded.[2]
• The device comes with 6.5-inch[3] Dynamic AMOLED 2x cover display, a wider screen[4] with a new 21:9 aspect ratio.

Most Expansive Screen on Galaxy Smartphone

When unfolded, Galaxy Z Fold7 becomes more than just a smartphone. It transforms into another device entirely and reveals an expansive screen that expands the workspace for editing, multitasking and immersive viewing – getting more out of Galaxy AI. The main display on Galaxy Z Fold7 is 11% larger than the previous generation, providing even more screen real estate for content editing and multitasking across multiple apps.

• The 8-inch[5] Dynamic AMOLED 2x main display offers ultra-rich contrast, true blacks and vibrant detail that makes everything pop — from movies to tabs open while multitasking.
• With Vision Booster and up to 2,600 nits of peak brightness, Galaxy Z Fold7 stays brilliantly visible even in direct sunlight.

Looks Sleek, Built Tough

Thin and light, Galaxy Z Fold7 is built to move with users, confidently. From repeated folding to being tossed in a bag, it’s engineered for everyday durability and built to last longer, with a restructured hinge and foldable display.

• The Armor FlexHinge is thinner and lighter,[6] thanks to an enhanced water droplet design and newly implemented multi-rail structure that reduces visible creasing and strengthens durability by evenly dispersing stress.
• The cover display is made with Corning® Gorilla® Glass Ceramic 2, a new glass ceramic that has crystals intricately embedded within its glass matrix.[7] This secures the screen’s durability and crack deflection capabilities and delivers protection in a remarkably thin form factor.
• Advanced Armor Aluminum[8] in the frame and hinge housing increases strength and hardness by 10%.
• The main display is restructured to be thinner and lighter – yet stronger. This was achieved by implementing the Titanium plate layer. Additionally, Ultra-Thin Glass (UTG) was increased to be 50% thicker, making the display tougher.

The Most Powerful Processor Customized for Galaxy

Under the hood, Galaxy Z Fold7 is powered by the best-in-class processor used in Galaxy devices. It’s uniquely customized and makes on-device AI processing tasks – like real-time language translation and Generative Edits – faster and more seamless.

• The Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy[9] delivers performance boosts of 41% in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% in GPU[10] compared to the previous generation. This power fuels Galaxy Z Fold7’s ability to process more AI experiences on-device without compromise.

Ultra 200MP Camera

Ultra Detailed, Ultra Clear Photos[11]

Galaxy Z Fold7 now brings the best of the Galaxy’s pro-grade camera experience to a foldable, combining advanced hardware with intelligent processing for consistently stunning results. Its high-resolution camera captures incredible detail, vibrant color and rich texture, pulling users back into every moment. AI-enhanced imaging automatically optimizes lighting, detail and realism, so photos and videos stay sharp and vivid, even in low light settings such as milestone dinners and late-night café scenes.

• Featuring the first 200MP wide-angle camera in the Galaxy Z series, it captures 4x more detail, producing images that are 44% brighter.
• The 10MP 100° camera on the main display expands the frame, so when users unfold their phone, it’s easy to capture group selfies, valuable moments and more of the world in a single shot.
• Samsung’s next generation ProVisual Engine processes images faster, enabling every photo and video to be more crisp, vibrant and full of detail.
• With Night Video, intelligent motion detection now separates moving subjects from still backgrounds to reduce noise.
• 10-bit HDR provides more color depth. The result is videos with richer color, deeper contrast and more lifelike detail, no matter the time of day.

Creative Editing with Big Screen

Galaxy Z Fold7 puts a pro-grade creative studio in users’ pocket, with AI-powered tools optimized for its large display. Users can capture stunning photos and videos and then edit with ease. From  cleaning up clutter in product shots to removing background noise from café recordings, studio-quality enhancements can be done in a few easy steps. The intuitive and intelligent features on the Galaxy Z Fold7 make it effortless to transform photos and videos into pro-level content, with no extra tools required.

• Shots look flawless with Photo Assist,[12] which moves, erases or enlarges objects and adjusts angles and fills in backgrounds with AI-powered precision. Users can seize vibrant expressions, including pet profiles with Portrait Studio[13] and refine their photos using Galaxy’s enhanced Generative Edit. The ability to seamlessly remove distractions and fill in backgrounds has made Generative Edit a fan favorite, and now it’s even smarter. It offers proactive suggestions with the new Suggest Erases , which automatically detects passersby with the tap of a button.
• Side-by-Side Editing and Show Original enables real-time comparison of original images and edited versions on the large screen, making it easier to decide what to modify and what to keep.
• Audio Eraser[14] has also been upgraded to be more intelligent and convenient. There’s a new toggle in Gallery, and it now proactively detects and removes unwanted background noise like wind or traffic from video recordings.

Ultra AI Experience

The Next Era of Galaxy AI[15] on the Large Screen

Galaxy Z Fold7 harnesses the power of the foldable display to amplify the power and convenience of AI, delivering experiences that are instinctive, adaptive and effortlessly efficient. With the new One UI 8 that is context-aware and naturally responsive, optimized for Galaxy Z Fold7’s flexible format and expansive screen offer a more intuitive and immersive way to interact with AI. There’s less jumping between apps and screens and more frictionless creativity and productivity happening seamlessly in one place.

• Designed as a true multimodal agent, One UI 8[16] seamlessly combines large-screen multitasking with intelligent tools that understand what users type, say and even see. And with an AI-powered camera and privacy built into every layer, Galaxy Z Fold7 becomes a smart and secure personal assistant, ready to help anytime, anywhere.
• Launching with the all-new One UI 8 on Android 16, Galaxy Z Fold7 debuts Samsung’s latest AI-powered platform on foldables, delivering the latest Android experience straight out of the box.
• Gemini Live[17] is now enhanced with multimodal AI that understands what users see, say and do, making it possible to seamlessly type or speak contextual questions and get answers without having to toggle back and forth between apps. And with screen sharing on Gemini Live or camera sharing on Gemini Live, you can simply show Gemini what users are looking at on the screen or on the camera, then ask questions to get instant insights.
• With Circle to Search,[18] gaming tips appear exactly when and where you need them. Just circle an item on screen and get instant results, tips or tactics in a floating view that ensures a smooth, uninterrupted experience.
• With Galaxy AI Optimized for Large Screens, Galaxy Z Fold7 delivers experiences that maximize the benefits of the expansive foldable display to boost productivity. AI Results View displays results from AI features in a separate Split View or in a Floating View, so the user’s original content remains unobstructed and visible. Users can be more efficient with Drag & Drop AI-generated content, including images and text, directly from Multi Window. With tools like Drawing Assist[19] or Writing Assist,[20] it’s easier than ever to move ideas and visuals, enabling a smoother creative process.

Future-Ready Mobile Security

As mobile experiences grow ever more intelligent and interconnected, Samsung is reinforcing the foundations that protect them – unveiling new protections for on-device AI, expanding cross-device threat detection and enhancing network security with quantum-resistant encryption. One UI 8 brings enhanced privacy to personalized AI experiences with the new Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP[21]). KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage environments within the device’s secure storage area, ensuring each app can access only its own sensitive information and nothing more. With One UI 8, Samsung is advancing Knox Matrix to deliver more proactive and user-friendly protection across the Galaxy ecosystem. Furthermore, as part of its ongoing commitment to quantum-safe security, Samsung is integrating post-quantum cryptography into Secure Wi-Fi[22]. This enhancement secures the key exchange process at the core of encrypted connections, helping ensure robust privacy even over public networks.

Gather Together

As the buildup to the match begins, gradually more and more people begin to congregate around a screen. Yet those playing host might still be in the kitchen preparing snacks and drinks for their guests right up until kick-off. There is no need for anyone to miss a moment, as the seamless links between Samsung’s IoT devices mean that everyone stays connected.

Before the game begins, hosts can search for recipes to serve their guests by utilizing the Family Hub refrigerator’s function, which aids food preparation by suggesting dishes based on the contents of your fridge and users’ preference*.

To heighten connectivity, people can share their reactions by uploading images from their Galaxy smartphones to view on their Family Hub refrigerator or Samsung Smart TV using the Gallery app. What is more, the connected touchscreen on the door of the Family Hub smart refrigerator can mirror the screen of a Samsung Smart TV or smartphone using the Smart View app, so that even in the kitchen, people can see and hear when the game begins.

Kick Back and Relax

When it comes to watching a big match amongst family and friends, the bigger the TV, the better. As everyone gathers round to watch the game unfold, a larger screen ensures everyone can see the game. Samsung 2018 QLED TV range in size from 55-inch to 82-inch models, offering the large-screen viewing experience. In addition, the match can be enjoyed from almost any angle with advanced Anti-reflection technology.

The stunningly sharp picture quality of Samsung’s 2018 QLED TVs is engineered to make the beautiful game look even more beautiful. The 4K Q Engine featureharnesses AI to analyze and optimize content, ensuring that the movement of the grass during play is clearly defined and without blur, providing a more vivid experience. Viewers can take in every pass and tackle with accurate color and contrast thanks to 100% Color Volume expression and Direct Fully Array Elite technology, which adjusts the brightness of each finely arrayed dot.

In the stadium, both sights and sounds blend to create the atmosphere of the game. For viewers at home, true immersion is achieved when they hear the sound of a player kicking the ball into the net and the crowd roaring with delight. On Samsung 2018 QLED TVs, sound is optimized for a wide variety of content, so that sports fans can hear the action on the field and the voices of commentators with crystal clarity.

During a major sporting competition or tournament, several events can take place at the same time, so finding exactly what you want to watch can be time-consuming. Samsung’s 2018 QLED TVs are equipped with a Universal Guide, which shows a selection of content updated in real time. Based on users’ preferences and the latest local trends, the Universal Guide recommends content, compiling TV broadcasts and streaming content, viewers to easily locate their favorite games. Viewers can also use the TVs’ intelligent assistant, Bixby*, to search for sport content via voice command.

Go Mobile

With competing nations in multiple time zones, it’s likely that many viewers will need to catch a game or two on the go. Busy people who still want to get the most out of their experiences can keep on top of their scheduled viewing with the Galaxy S9 and S9+.

The Super AMOLED screens and Infinity Displays of the Galaxy S9 and S9+ maximize definition and space allowing viewers to see more. The HDR-capable display provides impeccable accuracy and Adaptive Contrast Enhancement achieves clear definition, even in direct sunlight.

For even greater flexibility, users can enable Landscape Mode and view the two windows side by side horizontally.

No matter how or where people watch an event, their viewing experience will be crystal clear and fully immersive, as Samsung’s IoT devices, TVs, and smartphones work together to create the dream team for this summer’s sporting events.

While majority of us only consider breaking away from the mundane cycle of our 9-5 desk jobs, a group of intrepid millennials are redefining what it means to embrace the present by seizing the proverbial bull by the horns and combining remote working and travel into an enviable lifestyle of exploration. This group, fondly known as digital nomads, are arguably the bravest and most exciting personalities to be associated with because they know exactly what they want to do and how they want to get it done. They are doers and challengers of the norm, and they explore interesting methods to push past barriers to achieve their goals. So what is it that makes the nomadic lifestyle viable? One word: technology.

Yes, while the improvement of internet speed, the appearance of co-working spaces, and the growing acceptance of remote work contracts between individuals and businesses attribute to the rising number of nomadic professionals, it is the advances in technology that make our world ever more interconnected and accessible. Technology isn’t just an enabler, it is the catalyst that rockets these location-independent professionals into a lifestyle of great work-life balance.

What digital nomads appreciate most is mobility – the ability to get things done from anywhere and at any time they see fit. They rely heavily on smartphones, laptops and tablets for work and connectivity purposes; and this boils down to how far a smart device can go to supplement and complement a digital nomad’s life. Where devices are concern, Samsung delivers a unified experience through advanced smartphones such as its flagship Galaxy Note8 and S8/S8+ as well as a series of connected gears that make up a seamless ecosystem to take productivity and communication to the next level.

When it comes to productivity, the S Pen is by far the most versatile tool made up of an intuitive design and powerful functions to make multi-tasking a breeze. For digital nomads, ideas flow at any given time so penning them down quickly is vital. For this, there is the Screen-Off Memo where notes can be written on the screen without unlocking the phone. Work becomes convenient with Screen Write where articles, emails and documents are easily saved as one image and annotations can be added to work files for easy reference. The Scroll Capture feature brings screenshots to the next level as it is able to capture entire web pages (up to 100 pages) into one handy shareable file. Moreover, digital nomads can utilize the Smart Select feature to create GIFs to share with friends on social media.

Supporting the S Pen is the Infinity Display, a large bezel-free screen that allows digital nomads to see more and scroll less, giving them more room to watch, read, work and draw. The Galaxy Note8 and S8/S8+’s Infinity Display is equipped with the Multi Window function where the new App Pair feature helps users create a custom pair of apps on the Edge Panel to simultaneously launch two apps with ease. Now who says you can only do one thing at a time on your smartphone?

Part of living the digital nomad life is to work and travel, so you don’t miss out on the myriad of experiences life has to offer. This is where Samsung presents powerful smartphone cameras in its flagship devices for users to capture moments and milestones. Digital nomads can ditch their bulky cameras and travel light with smartphones like the Galaxy Note8 and S8/S8+ that capture great images, which are just as good as professional cameras. The Dual-Pixel Sensor, wide aperture and fast autofocus of the 12MP F1.7 rear camera work together to create beautiful photographs, even in low-light conditions.

If you think mobile photography just went up a notch, wait until you try the Galaxy dual camera with dual OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). For added creative control, the new Live Focus feature lets users adjust the bokeh effect before and after the photo is taken. In Dual Capture mode, both cameras work simultaneously to capture two separate images – one close-up shot from the telephoto lens and one wide-angle shot that show the entire background – so digital nomads will never have to miss a moment.

For the more focused digital nomad, there is the Samsung DeX for an inclusive mobile desktop experience. Digital nomads will find DeX very useful because it allows them to use their Galaxy Note8 and S8/S8+ as they would with a desktop, by providing a seamless, secure mobile-to-PC transition. Apps within the smartphone itself can be accessed without hassle, and they can even browse the web, send messages and more directly from their phone on a larger display, without having to carry multiple devices or transfer data. It supports keyboard and mouse gestures, allowing the smartphones to function as efficiently as a PC. This way, digital nomads get to do more with little devices on-the-go, and they can still get a lot done in a day.

The popularity of digital nomadism owes itself to the rapid development of modern society; and advances in technology and attitudes could make digital nomadism and remote working not only easier, but also more popular than it already is. Today, a lot of work can be done from anywhere on a smartphone with ease and efficiency, if not more than in a traditional office. Samsung fills the gap by offering the best in smartphone technology, providing digital nomads with the flexibility to multitask and freedom to create, express and document their work-life journey.

Top Malaysian YouTuber and entertainer Jin Lim aka Jinnyboy shared how the Galaxy Note8 supports his mobile lifestyle

“What digital nomads appreciate the most is the idea of mobility – being able to get things done from anywhere and at any time they see fit. They rely heavily on their smartphones and laptops or tablets for work and connectivity purposes; and the Galaxy Note8 is the ideal addition to that lifestyle,” – Julian Thean, Head of Product Marketing, IT and Mobile Business, Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

An Entirely New Viewing Experience

The 6.3-inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display takes mobile entertainment to the next level by offering a noticeably more immersive viewing experience with a screen-to-body ratio of more than 83 percent and an aspect ratio of 18.5:9.

With the new ratio, content shot in 21:9 will fill the Galaxy Note8’s display, increasing the viewing area by 14 percent compared to the Galaxy Note5. This, along with the phone’s MOBILE HDR PREMIUM certification granted by the UHD Alliance, enables users can to see vibrant colors and contrasts in the way content producers intended while watching the latest binge-worthy shows. Likewise, gaming experiences are also heightened thanks to the phone’s expanded viewing area and powerful performance capabilities.

Multitask Like Never Before

In addition to offering a more cinematic viewing experience, the Infinity Display optimizes multitasking so users can work smarter, not harder.

Users have long been able to do more with Multi Window, which allows them complete multiple tasks on one screen for enhanced efficiency. But now with the Galaxy Note8’s new App Pair feature, users can create a custom pair of apps on the Edge panel and launch them at the same time with a single tap. This means that they can simultaneously launch their Music and Maps apps as they embark on a road trip, or pull up YouTube and their Messages app so they can chat with their friends about the hottest new music video.

Likewise, the Snap Window feature augments productivity by allowing users to pin a specific area from a recent app to the top of the screen, and continue using the area below it. The feature is especially useful for keeping an eye on continuously updated content, such as stock prices and news headlines.

By elegantly balancing competing demands – HDR capabilities and the ideal viewing ratio for watching today’s content, and the need for expanded screen space and enhanced productivity features – the Galaxy Note8 is the ultimate multitasking phone for all of one’s work and play needs.
