Technology is evolving at high speed, becoming more intelligent by the second. These rapid advancements have brought Galaxy AI^[1] to life, unlocking new levels of productivity, creativity and communication. But as mobile AI grows more capable, it also raises new concerns about privacy and control.

Samsung is addressing both in two key ways: by designing Galaxy AI experiences with built-in safeguards that protect user data from the ground up, and by applying AI to strengthen mobile security and privacy protections. While both approaches are essential, building AI that handles data responsibly remains the most urgent priority.

Transparency and choice are the principles driving this work. That’s where Galaxy’s intuitive, easy-to-use privacy settings come in, helping you understand what data is used in AI processing, how it’s handled, and how you can control it. These protections empower you to make your own rules for your mobile experience — and to stay safe while you do.

Advanced Settings for Advanced AI

This freedom of choice comes into play for Galaxy AI experiences. With AI increasingly becoming a part of what we do, it’s only natural to want more control over how your personal data is used in relation to it. Enter Galaxy AI privacy safeguards: a set of policies and protections that go above and beyond to make sure you’re informed and protected when leveraging Galaxy AI.

One of the ways we champion user control is through our powerful suite of AI tools that can operate on-device^[2], keeping your data securely in your hands. Whether you’re using communication tools like Live Translate^[3], Interpreter^[4], to break down language barriers, or editing tools like Audio Eraser^[5], to stretch the limits of creativity, inputs are kept within the confines of your phone. These features offer a safe, responsive mobile experience that runs directly on your device, right at your fingertips — working alongside Galaxy AI’s privacy protections to give you greater visibility and control over your data.

Since launching Galaxy AI, our vision has been driven by a commitment to openness and user choice. That’s why we chose a hybrid approach, introducing a powerful combination of on-device and cloud-based AI. This ensures seamless usability and allows users to benefit from the full power of AI for even the most complex tasks. Advanced features such as Generative Edit^[6], offer on-device capabilities and also tap into cloud-based AI as needed for more processing-intensive edits. With Galaxy, all AI experiences are designed with your privacy in mind — even those that utilise remote servers. No matter what feature or what settings you choose, personal data is never stored long-term or used for AI training — whether processed on-device or on the cloud. Plus, with Advanced Intelligence settings^[7], managing your privacy is as simple as tapping a button. You can even choose how your personal information is processed, including the option to disable online processing for AI features.

Privacy is the foundation of Galaxy AI, and thanks to our growing list of on-device AI features alongside powerful settings options, so is user control.

Intuitive Controls for Enhanced Visibility

In addition to AI-powered features, it’s critical that selecting privacy settings be easy and intuitive, no matter which mobile experience you choose. Galaxy’s Security and Privacy dashboard enables ultimate control over your data, including who sees it and how it is used, with a fool-proof interface. You can do it all — from viewing and updating app permissions, controls and data-sharing functions, to identifying which data could be at risk through intuitive safety status icons. With Permission Usage, you can even keep track of which apps may have recently accessed your data. This level of behind-the-curtain visibility across settings is unique to Galaxy, making it easier than ever to see how all Galaxy experiences are secured and built to function according to your preferences.

Another cornerstone of Galaxy privacy settings is Auto Blocker^[8], a key feature that empowers you to secure your mobile devices without sacrificing usability. Auto Blocker protects your device by checking for malware and other security threats, while blocking malicious activity. It prevents unauthorized app installations, blocks commands and updates via USB, and mitigates zero click attacks with Message Guard.

For those looking for an even stronger line of defense against today’s cyber threats, Maximum Restrictions^[9], offers an additional suite of device protections. These added measures offer an extra layer of user control, giving you the choice to block 2G service and prevent data from being intercepted when connected to unsafe networks. They also prevent unintended automatic reconnection to certain Wi-Fi networks that may be less secure.

With Samsung Knox protection and privacy settings that are easy to understand, you hold the power to decide how your data is handled — whether shared or kept completely on-device. Looking ahead, Samsung will further advance AI-powered security technologies to make privacy protections smarter, more adaptive, and even more seamless. And as AI continues to evolve, Samsung remains committed to building secure experiences rooted in transparency and choice — now and in the future.

Also equipped with a ProVisual Engine boasting more than 160 AI-powered imaging technologies, the Galaxy Z Fold7 seamlessly merges flagship camera performance and intelligent processing in a versatile foldable design.

From filming vivid night videos to capturing more of the world with its ultra-wide lens, here’s how the thinnest and lightest Z Fold yet is built to keep up with your creative vision.

200MP Sensor: Next-Level Clarity in Every Frame

▲ The upgraded camera system takes your photography to the next level.

At the heart of the Galaxy Z Fold7’s camera system lies its 200 MP wide-angle camera, the same found in the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the highest-ever resolution sensor in the Z Fold series. With it, you can now capture every nuance of a scene, from the rich textures and colors of clothes in your holiday photos to the delicate contours of the vast landscape behind you. Here are some of the key benefits of the Galaxy Z Fold7’s wide-angle camera:

• Captures shots that are 44% brighter and four times more detailed than those taken with the Galaxy Z Fold6, ensuring every image is vivid, textured and ready to share.
• Maintains image quality at 2x optical-grade zoom, delivering sharp, clear results even when digitally zooming in — so you can reframe or crop images without sacrificing detail.
• A shutter speed that is up to seven times faster, enabling you to take crisp, detailed photos of important moments.

The 200 MP sensor ensures you can capture every detail

Looking to highlight the intricate details of your latest artwork or piece of jewelry? The enhanced 12MP ultra-wide lens on the Galaxy Z Fold7 now supports auto focus, enabling macro photography, so you can take close-ups with exceptional sharpness and depth. To maintain precise focus at close range, the device leverages Dual Camera Depth Calibration — a system that intelligently gauges subject distance and seamlessly switches between the wide and ultra-wide cameras when needed. This allows you to achieve consistent sharpness without manually changing cameras. The addition of autofocus to the ultra-wide camera further enhances accuracy, making it easier than ever to shoot detailed close-ups with clarity.

Fit the Whole Crew in Wide-Angle Selfies

▲ The 100-degree front camera on the main display allows you to take large group selfies with ease.

Getting everyone in the frame no longer means stretching your arm to the limit or asking the group to back up. The enhanced 100-degree front camera in main display captures more of the scene so you can easily fit everyone in the shot. Features and upgrades include:

• Front camera photos that are 25% wider and 2.5 times clearer compared to those taken with the Galaxy Z Fold6.
• When faces are near the edges, the camera uses Wide Distortion Correction, which automatically adjusts proportions and reduces distortion when faces are near the edges of frames, allowing everyone to look more natural in wide shots.
• More natural skin texture on photo subjects, thanks to AI-driven adjustments optimized for the selfie experience.
• Enhanced HDR processing for portraits that prioritizes the subject for more true-to-life rendering.
• AI-powered filters trained on over 5,000 real analog film images, letting you fine-tune your photos based on contrast, saturation and color temperature to achieve a look that blends natural aesthetics with artistic expression.

Light Up Night Shoots With the ProVisual Engine

The Galaxy Z Fold7 shines brightest after dark, thanks to its AI-powered ProVisual Engine that processes images faster[1] and optimizes every scene.

The energy of an evening concert or a night out with friends can be recorded in stunning clarity. By analyzing movement and light in real time, the Galaxy Z Fold7 reduces noise effectively and delivers crystal-clear results — even in challenging low-light conditions:

• Enhanced Nightography leverages an advanced Spatio-Temporal Filter that analyzes pixel data both across multiple frames and within individual frames. When analyzing across multiple frames, it separates the subject from the background to reduce background noise. Footage quality is further refined as noise is removed based on continuous pixel patterns within individual frames. The result is sharper, clearer night footage with natural light and fine detail.

Videos get a further boost from the introduction of advanced 10-bit HDR video recording:

• Overall color expression is enhanced with four times richer contrast and a wider dynamic range compared to standard 8-bit recordings.
• The Galaxy Z Fold7 supports Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG[2]), ensuring broad compatibility with regular displays and TVs.

LOG video recording is supported as well — particularly useful for creators who want more flexibility during post-production. Videos can be edited with greater ease, thanks to:

• The 10-bit High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC[3]) codec for advanced compression and editing freedom.
• The ability to fine-tune color grading using Samsung Look-Up Table (LUT[4]), right from the device.

A Portable Editing Studio Right in Your Hands

With the Galaxy Z Fold7, there’s no need to get back to your desk before editing content. The device itself is your own portable creative studio, with its large display allowing you to edit like a pro — anytime, anywhere with precision like never before:

• Generative Edit, enhanced with a refined AI model and more advanced prompt processing, now delivers 18 times reduced mis-generation rate and cuts texture distortion to one-fourth — both compared to the previous Galaxy Z Fold6. The upgrade allows you to effortlessly remove unwanted objects — along with related elements such as shadows or reflections — adjust angles, and naturally fill in backgrounds, resulting in polished, professional-quality photos.
• Through Galaxy AI’s scene-understanding capabilities, Suggest Erases proactively suggests edits like removing passersby or other distractions in photos for flawless clean shots.

• Side-by-Side Editing lets you compare original and edited versions of your photos in real time for quick editing on the go.

• Improved with advanced AI prompt engineering, Portrait Studio helps pet lovers and portrait enthusiasts alike refine images to capture vibrant expressions and striking profiles.

Unfold Your Creativity

The Galaxy Z Fold7’s next-generation camera and editing tools make creating high-quality content simpler, faster and more intuitive than ever before. More than just a foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold7 takes your craft to new heights as your personal creative assistant.
