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

Samsung Newsroom U.K. 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

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

The Galaxy Z Fold7’s packaging and its contents

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

▲ Screen sharing with Gemini Live (*To listen to the audio, click the speaker button at the bottom of the video)

For example, if someone is trying to pick the perfect Galaxy Z Fold7 colour 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 colour 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 colour they have in mind.

 

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

 

▲ Camera sharing with Gemini Live (*To listen to the audio, click the speaker button at the bottom of the video)

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 recognise 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.

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.

The Galaxy Z Fold7, the thinnest and lightest in the Galaxy Z Fold series to date

Design: Slimmer and Lighter

The Galaxy Z Fold7 is the thinnest and lightest in the Galaxy Z Fold series to date — measuring 4.2 millimetres when unfolded, 8.9 millimetres when folded^[1] and weighing 215 grams^[2]. Considering the inclusion of a cover display and a complex folding mechanism, these are breakthrough figures.

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.

Design innovation extends to the hinge. The newly applied Armor FlexHinge is thinner^[3] while maintaining durability and the upgraded structure significantly reduces the visibility of the crease along the foldable 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 colour.

Nightography ensures crisp, clear shots even in low light, while the front main camera now offers a wider 100-degree field of view — maximising 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^[4], introducing Samsung’s new multimodal AI experience.

Thanks to Google’s Gemini Live^[5], 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 analyse 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 analyses the context of both screens and offers helpful guidance.

Gemini analyses the image of the room, recommends a suitable chair and even converts it into the desired colour.

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.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced Galaxy Z Fold7, a device that brings together the best of Galaxy design, camera functionality and AI innovation in the thinnest and lightest Galaxy Z Fold series to date. It delivers the premium performance and experience of an “Ultra” smartphone, while unlocking new levels of efficiency and productivity with a larger, more immersive display when unfolded. And with the new One UI 8 as its foundation, it seamlessly integrates intelligent, multimodal agents optimised for the foldable form factor.

“We’re entering into a new era of smartphone innovation. As AI becomes the new UI, people need devices that learn, understand and anticipates their needs,” said Annika Bizon, Mobile Experience VP of Product and Marketing, Samsung UK & Ireland. “The new Galaxy Z Fold7 combines powerful hardware with Galaxy AI in an ultra thin and ultra sleek form factor – supporting people to get things done in previously unimaginable ways.”

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]

Most Expansive Screen on Galaxy Smartphone

When unfolded, Galaxy Z Fold7 becomes more than just a smartphone. It transforms into another device entirely and revealing an expansive screen that expands the workspace for editing, multitasking and immersive viewing – and for 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 make 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 Armour FlexHinge is thinner and lighter,^[6] thanks to an enhanced water droplet design and newly implemented multi-rail structure that reduce visible creasing and strengthen 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  

The Most Powerful Processor Customised for Galaxy

Under the hood, Galaxy Z Fold7 is powered by the best-in-class processor used in Galaxy devices. It’s uniquely customised 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 boost of 41% in NPU, 38% in CPU, and 26% of 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 colour and rich texture, pulling users back into every moment. AI-enhanced imaging automatically optimises 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 noicses.
• 10-bit HDR provides more colour depth. The result is videos with richer colour, 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 optimised 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 profile with Portrait Studio^[13] and refining 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, optimised 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 Optimised 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.
